Easy Food Swaps, Snacking Smarter & Anti-Inflammatory Supplements

Su questo episodio

In this week’s episode, we’re answering your questions on making everyday food choices simpler and more nourishing. We start with micronutrients on plant-heavy diets, including how to think about calcium, magnesium, zinc and iodine across the week without tracking apps, and when blood tests can be helpful during breastfeeding. We then look at easy food swaps that save time, including packaged grains and lentils, where they sit in the NOVA system, and why they can be a genuinely useful shortcut. Next, we share nut-free snack ideas for work, focusing on whole-food-leaning options that support steady energy. We also unpack bloating and inflammation, how hormones and stress affect gut health, and what to know about anti-inflammatory supplements like butyrate. Finally, we break down chickpea pasta versus white pasta, looking at fibre, protein and how it fits into a balanced way of eating. Send your questions for our weekly Q&A to hello@wellness-scoop.com.
