Blue Zones with Belinda Fettke

In this episode, Zoë chats with Belinda Fettke, a health disruptor who challenges the prevailing dietary dogma of low-fat, high-carb diets. Belinda delves into the historical connections between dietary guidelines and religious ideologies, particularly focusing on the Seventh-Day Adventist Church's influence on nutrition science. The discussion transitions into the concept of Blue Zones, regions known for their exceptional longevity, and examines the myths and realities surrounding them. Belinda emphasises the importance of community, tradition, and the role of animal proteins in these cultures, while also critiquing the commercialisation of the Blue Zones narrative and its implications for public health.
