In a nutshell, WIDLIMS is a platform for discussing topics crucial to health which are not taught, glossed over or approached from the wrong angles in medicine and public discourse. The host Linda's knowledge – as a final year medical student – combined with valuable input from guests provides you with accessible and most importantly empowering evidence-based information on topics within the field of lifestyle medicine.
In addition, you can expect in-depth mental health discussions, for example when considering body image & disordered eating in diet culture, as well as health inequalities due to variables such as race & gender which affect health behaviours and outcomes. We'll also discuss specific health conditions such as acne, anxiety and anorexia.

Carbohydrates: friend or foe?
This episode is all about carbohydrates, insulin resistance and low carbohydrate diets (including ketogenic diets). Host Linda goes over some basic metabolism and discusses how cutting carbohydrates will mask any underlying insulin resistance, as the true culprit in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome is often intramyocellular lipids rather than carbohydrates. We also discuss the research on dietary interventions to truly reverse diabetes and manage insulin resistance including the science of whole food plant-based (vegan) diets.
