What is the quickest and easiest way to improve our health? According to a new book by Dr Alan Desmond, switching to a plant-based wholefood diet would do so in a mere 28 days. The Plant-Based Diet Revolution lays out the science behind his thinking. It also includes an appetising range of recipes and a step-by-step meal plan outlining exactly how we can harness the power of food to maximise our health.

Clare is also joined by performance nutritionist Daniel Davey to discuss his findings of a recent case study involving a vegan footballer.

Clare chats to James Heriot who faced a very unexpected lung cancer diagnosis at 38.
