This podcast was born out of my pandemic experience and the belief that there is always something to learn by listening to someone else's story. My story isn't special, it's simply the case that in 2020/2021, I felt angry, frustrated, resentful, trapped and unheard so in an attempt to articulate and reconcile those feelings, I decided to share the impact of the pandemic on my life and health via a podcast. Fast forward to now and a bit of 'processing' later, it's time for a new topic of conversation and, with the world as it is now, I can think of no better focus than 'Happiness'.

The Relative Perspective - Season 2 - April

Food glorious food! Welcome to April's episode of The Relative Perspective which broadly covers the topic of diets and food. There is so much information about diets and the way food can support health and equally, a lot of mis-information. This episode isn't a consolidation of such information, rather it's an overview of my experience and relationship with food (pre, during and post pandemic), a brief discussion about exciting medical research in this area and some recommendations for other podcasts, professionals and recipes.

As part of my preparations for this episode, I researched the terms 'weight loss' or 'diets' which, unsurprisingly, generated a lot of (sometimes commercialised) support from household diet plan names such as Weight Watchers or Slimming World as well as various different weight loss methods such as 5:2 and intermittent fasting. I find it fascinating that diets are often associated with restriction and calorie deficit (followed by weight loss) but its so much more than that; the diet concept is really anything that you consume (be it good or bad).

I hope you enjoy this episode; more than anything, it made me realise how little I know about diet and nutrition! But never fear, I love learning and here's a list of people who can help and who know tonnes about this topic!
