Ep135. What can we learn about healthy living from other countries? With Chris Carra

In part one, Holly and Molly discuss the ups and downs of their January health kick, including being tempted by Wicked Kitchen cookies, dry January, sore boobs and weight training at home with Courtney Black. They also discuss the awkwardness of networking, following Holly's trip to London for the VFC Veganuary launch where she met Matthew Glover and Earthling Ed.

Part two sees nutrition coach Chris Carra join Holly for a chat about his new podcast, Planet Health. Chris shares insights into what we can learn from other countries and cultures about weight management, healthy living and longevity. From hangover cures to ‘peasant food’, discover the traditions and habits from countries like Israel, Sweden and Italy that can help us live better lives.

Chris also tells us how he stays in good shape – including avoiding fad diets, eating enough plant-based protein and weight lifting.
