When I started The Doctor’s Kitchen I didn’t t

When I started The Doctor’s Kitchen I didn’t think I’d be talking up the benefits of ketogenic diet therapy! But the purpose of the podcast is to be honest to the science and explore subjects that are less talked about because it conflicts with what we believe. I’m not a huge fan of low carb or keto for weight loss, but the benefits beyond those uses most definitely needs exploring.

For part 2 of the keto series We’re talking with Alex Ash, a colleague of one of my best friends in America, who reached out to me a while ago wanting to share his personal experience with the use of a Ketogenic diet for his son’s medical condition. Today’s podcast is a story. It’s heart breaking at times, it’s raw and a complete rollercoaster of emotions. It tells the tale of an authentic human experience of what effect a ketogenic diet could have in certain circumstances. It’s stories like these that keep me inspired and to really push what we do at The Doctor’s Kitchen.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe form of childhood epilepsy with multiple types of seizures and as you’ll hear, Alex and his partners experience has not been a straight forward one in the slightest.

For any of you listening with children, with or without a chronic condition, I just want to say from the outset that this episode could be triggering so I would exercise some caution if you do not want to listen. Alex’s story has a positive ending but I understand this is not the case for a lot of people struggling with epilepsy and many other conditions. As a medical doctor I witness the daily battle many parents and carers have to endure for the sake of their loved ones.

As always, none of the information spoken about on today’s podcast is taken to be medical advice, always speak with your practitioner about changes to medication, dietary or supplement regimen.

If you’re interested in the more nuanced opinion of a practitioner I would listen to the previous podcast with Sue Wood @suewoodrd . I hope you enjoy listening to Alex tell Jachin’s story, it’s certainly hit home a lot of truths to me.

“Bread and Bliss with Roly Allen” is this week

“Bread and Bliss with Roly Allen” is this weeks BONUS Podcast episode. I’m putting a spotlight on books to buy for Christmas, and yes I’m starting the Christmas cheer earlier than I’m usually comfortable with, because i think we all need something to look forward to!

It was impossible to miss the sourdough trend travel through the globe during lockdown. People have developed a new love of home cooking and slowed down sourdough is top of the menu. But Roly Allen’s story @rolyallen started before the pandemic. After an exhausting couple of decades spent working, commuting, travelling and raising two children, Roly Allen baked his first sourdough loaf in his mid 40s because he’d been made redundant and needed a healthy pursuit while he got back on his feet.

On the pod Roly talks me through the process of baking and how sourdough saved his life. We chat about many wider subjects whilst we baked a fresh loaf and I highly encourage you to try a sourdough bake yourself if you haven’t already. If not for the health of your body, then for the mindfulness benefits that bread baking can have.

I’ve done a few bits of content on bread. What’s healthy and what isn’t (on Youtube and previously on the podcast), but Roly gave me a new perspective on the mindfulness aspects of baking. I hope you enjoy and I’d love to know any Christmas book gift recommendations you have in the comments below!

The simple frittata formula! I love making a frit

The simple frittata formula!

I love making a frittata on a weekend morning. It’s perfect brunch food, I slice it up and refrigerate to make sure I have something ready to go for the start of the week, plus I pack it mostly with root vegetables, plants and delicious flavours. Go experiment!

Serves 4

2 tbsp Olive oil
400g Root Vegetables, 3cm cubed (potatoes, parsnips, carrots, swede)
100g spinach, roughly chopped
8 eggs
50g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
20g Basil

Preheat the oven to 200C
Saute the vegetables in a lidded saute pan in oil on medium heat and cover with a lid for 10 minutes until they are steamed and softened
Blend spinach and eggs with seasoning in a nutribullet
Add the egg mixture to the cooked vegetables and agitate so the mixture fills in all the nooks and crevices
throw in the sun-dried tomatoes and basil
Add to the oven for 10minutes until the mixture is set
remove and allow to cool before serving up

Tell me your favourite frittata ingredients and I’ll make some variations on this!
