In this interview from the Goodwood Health Summit, Dr Chris van Tulleken challenges the way food and nutrition advice is shaped in the UK. He explains why he refuses to give simple answers about what families should eat, pointing out that many people lack the time, money or facilities to prepare healthy meals. Instead, he focuses on the “food environment” - the price, availability, marketing and policy decisions that determine what ends up on our plates.
Dr van Tulleken highlights the influence of the ultra-processed food industry on government committees, charities, research, and even healthcare guidance, showing how deeply conflicts of interest run. He also explores how infant feeding advice is often tied to formula companies, limiting genuine choice for parents. Drawing on his own experiences, he argues that tighter regulation and independence from industry funding are essential if families are to make real, informed choices about food and health.

Stories from the Estate
When we think of health, we often picture our own bodies; what we eat, how we move, how we feel. But our personal wellbeing is inseparable from the health of the world around us. Soil, the most overlooked of ecosystems, is not only the foundation of our food system but also of our collective health system.
Fitness Tips
We’ve all heard the phrase “trust your gut,” but science now tells us that our gut is doing far more than helping us digest food. Deep inside us lives a vast community of microbes – bacteria, fungi, and even viruses - known as the gut microbiome. This hidden ecosystem influences everything from immunity and energy to mood and mental clarity.
Stories from the Estate
Dirt is something we often take for granted, but in truth, the ground beneath our feet is one of the most powerful influences on our health, our food, and our future. Patrick Holden CBE, Founding Director and Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust, has spent decades working to transform the way we grow, produce and consume food. Ahead of this year’s Goodwood Health Summit, presented by Randox Health, Patrick’s message is clear: soil health is public health.
