Show Notes

πŸŽ™οΈ Featuring: Tom Pearson, David Walker, Chris Manley, Kate Arthur, and Mark Warner


This episode is a bit different – recorded live from the first ever NuffFest, a summer gathering of Nuffield scholars with a focus on a crucial question: is your food healing or harming you? πŸ₯¦πŸ§ 


Led by Wallace and David Rose, the session explores how farming practices directly impact nutrition and public health. From childhood obesity to chronic disease, the panel dives into why a stronger bridge between agriculture and medicine is urgently needed.


🩺 Dr Tom Pearson – a GP and farmer – shares insights from his Nuffield journey into how farmers can positively impact community health.

πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ Professor David Walker reflects on decades in paediatrics and the vital role of nutrition in cancer recovery and child development.

πŸ’¬ Chris Manley speaks on mental health and the transformational impact of his Walk With Me campaign.

πŸ₯© Kate Arthur brings her experience as a dietitian and AHDB’s human nutrition lead, spotlighting the importance of balanced messaging around red meat and dairy.

🌱 Mark Warner tells a personal story of health transformation following a cancer diagnosis, highlighting how regenerative farming and holistic living reshaped his life.


Together they discuss the gaps in medical training, the rise of misinformation, the elitism of access to nutritional education, and the immense opportunity farming has to lead public health progress. From cold showers to childhood food education, it’s a conversation full of thought, feeling and forward thinking.


Enjoy! 😊
