In this episode I had the honour of chatting with ophthalmologist and 2020 Australian of the year recipient Dr James Muecke on all things metabolic dysfunction, diabetes and eye health.

Given shift work is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and many shift workers are insulin resistant and/or pre-diabetic, but don't even know it - this is a MUST LISTEN.

Topics Include: - How real food and dietary change can potentially reverse type 2 diabetes and reverse the blinding complications associated with the disease. - The alarming lack of nutrition education in medical schools, and why it's imperative to incorporate metabolic health into the curriculum. - Why regular eye checks are crucial for people with diabetes to detect and manage diabetic retinopathy. - How therapeutic carbohydrate reduction can improve metabolic health and reduce the need for injections in people with diabetes. - The scientific and anecdotal evidence of how eating real, unprocessed food is key to preventing metabolic dysfunction and improving overall health.

Did you know studies have found no significant association between sunscreen use and reduced risk of skin cancer?

Given the skin is an extremely important circadian organ that influences every aspect of our biology, have 'experts' got it wrong when it comes to sun exposure?

In this conversation, Audra chats to returning guest, Zaid Dahhaj around the misconceptions and dangers surrounding sun exposure and skin cancer. Topics include: - How different spectrums and frequencies of light have various health benefits for the body. - Melanin - the body's own natural sunscreen. - How artificial light and sun avoidance can actually lead to chronic inflammation and increase the risk of skin cancer. - Why chronic inflammation and poor nutrition can contribute to the development of skin cancer. - Why removing sunglasses and allowing the eyes and skin to be exposed to natural light is important for optimal health, and much more.
