Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) now make up over half of the calories eaten in the UK, yet our bodies were never designed to digest them.
At the same time, obesity rates continue to climb — and more people are turning to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, touted as “game-changers” for weight loss.
But how safe are these medications, and do they address the root causes of our health crisis?
What role should diet and lifestyle still play in the age of GLP-1s?
In this episode, Emily sits down with Nichola Ludlam-Raine — specialist Registered Dietitian, NHS clinician, author of the best-selling book How Not to Eat Ultra-Processed, and trusted voice to more than 100,000 followers online.
Together, they explore:
How GLP-1 medications work and the risks we need to know about
Why ultra-processed foods are linked to obesity and poor health
Whether UPFs could undermine the benefits of GLP-1s
Practical swaps and strategies for reducing UPFs in everyday life
The future of obesity treatment in the UK
If you’ve wondered whether GLP-1 drugs are a miracle, a quick fix, or something in between — and how UPFs really fit into the picture — this conversation will give you clarity, evidence, and practical tools to make better choices for your health.
