It’s a reminder that life can get wonderfully unpredictable. And when things pile up, it’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling like you’re failing or not doing enough. So this email is as much a message to myself as it is to you:...

Just a quick email today Reader I’m not sure if you saw, but I was invited onto LBC radio to talk about an incoming junk food advert ban. I was asked whether it would be enough to “improve the health of the nation”. I got to moan about all that is wrong with health and fitness advice, and also where we’d be better off putting our focus. I thought you would enjoy it and I welcome your thoughts on the video!
