The hidden cost of convenience
About the session
What ultra-processed food is doing to our bodies - from gut and liver health to nutrients, inflammation and mental wellbeing
Ultra-processed food is no longer just fast food. It has become woven into the way we eat - from supermarket staples and ready-made meals to restaurant food, snacks and products marketed as healthy.
But what happens when convenience becomes the foundation of our diet?
This panel looks beyond calories and weight to explore what highly processed food may be doing inside the body - from the gut microbiome, liver and metabolic health to inflammation, nutrient status and potentially even how we feel and function mentally.
Bringing together Siggy Claviens from De-liver-ance and The Liver Clinic, Dr. Mareike from The Vitamin Clinic in Sweden, and Renee Futton from L-Nutra, the conversation combines perspectives across liver health, nutrition, gut health and metabolic science to unpack what modern food is really doing to our bodies - and how we can make better choices in a world where processed food is increasingly difficult to avoid.
