In a nutshell, WIDLIMS is a platform for discussing topics crucial to health which are not taught, glossed over or approached from the wrong angles in medicine and public discourse. The host Linda's knowledge – as a final year medical student – combined with valuable input from guests provides you with accessible and most importantly empowering evidence-based information on topics within the field of lifestyle medicine. In addition, you can expect in-depth mental health discussions, for example when considering body image & disordered eating in diet culture, as well as health inequalities due to variables such as race & gender which affect health behaviours and outcomes. We'll also discuss specific health conditions such as acne, anxiety and anorexia. DISCLAIMER: this podcast is for educational & entertainment purposes only.

This week's guest is Amaeze Madukah, a nutritionist in the UK. Prompted by an Instagram post of hers about how diet advice is often Euro-centric, I wanted to further explore the topic with her, and am grateful that she came on the show. Listen to learn about implicit bias and power distance, how these mean that certain populations receive suboptimal healthcare advice and what healthcare practitioners should keep in mind when giving advice to people from different ethnic backgrounds. We also chatted about other aspects relating to culture, food and language - I hope you enjoy the content and learn something new. Sorry for the slightly iffy sound quality this week!
