Charlotte Palmer is a Health Educator, Qualified Teacher and MD of True Health Talks CIC, a community interest company in the UK aiming to transform the health of communities through grassroots education.

In this episode, Charlotte shares her personal journey of facing her own health battles which led her to discover the corruption within the food industry and how we’ve all been lied to for decades.

We discuss the flawed guidelines of the Eat-Well Plate, the need for informed choices in nutrition, and practical tools to improve our health and navigate the misinformation prevalent in food marketing.

Finally, we explore the grassroots approach to improving human health through proper health education and reconnecting with our food.
