    Jul 13 2026
    From probiotics to cleanses, gut health is everywhere right now—but how much of it is actually backed by evidence? In this episode of Good Health by Good Food, Dr. Alex George and GP Dr. Chintal Patel break down the hype and get to the truth about your gut. They explore what gut health really means, from the role of the gut microbiome to how it influences everything from digestion and immunity to mood and long-term health. Along the way, they tackle some of the biggest myths, like whether you need supplements, if bloating always signals a problem, and whether cutting out foods is the key to “healing” your gut. You’ll also hear practical answers to listener questions, including: • Which foods genuinely support gut health • How much fibre you actually need (and how to get more of it) • When gut symptoms should be checked by a GP • Why gut health is about more than just what you eat Packed with simple, realistic advice, this episode focuses on what adds to your health, like increasing variety, boosting fibre, and making small sustainable changes, rather than restrictive rules.

    How to improve your mood?
    Jun 29 2026
    Mood is something we live with every day, a cornerstone of being human, yet it’s often reduced to overly simple advice and soundbite cliches. In this episode of Good Health by Good Food, Dr. Alex George and Dr. Chintal Patel explore what really affects our mood, and why it matters for our overall health. They unpack some of the most common myths, from the idea that you should “just think positively” to whether it’s realistic (or even possible) to feel happy all the time. They also look at what genuinely helps when you’re feeling low, including the role of exercise, connection, and talking to others and whether these always work in the way we expect. Alongside this, they discuss when low mood might need more support, and when it’s important to speak to your GP. Clear, practical and grounded in real life, this episode offers a more balanced way to think about mood—without quick fixes or unrealistic expectations. In this episode: • Why mood and mental health are important • Common myths around positivity and happiness • What can help when you’re feeling low • The role of exercise and talking • When to seek support from your GP Listen now for your health check and your fact check in one place.
