Food Doesn’t Need to Be This Complicated with Dr Emily Leeming

This week on Chew On This, I’m joined by Dr Emily Leeming — registered dietitian, nutrition scientist at King’s College London, former chef, and self-confessed gut microbiome nerd. Emily is the author of Genius Gut and she’s back to talk about her new book Fibre Power, plus why gut health doesn’t need to be extreme, expensive, or obsessed-over to actually make a difference. We get into the real-world basics that move the needle: the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian, what your gut microbiome actually does (beyond digestion), the emerging gut–brain research, and why restriction so often backfires. Emily shares her simple “B-G-B-G-S” framework (beans, greens, berries, grains & seeds), why most of us are seriously under-eating fibre, and how to build a healthier plate that still leaves room for joy, connection, and the foods you genuinely love.
