Nutrition Unlocked

Have you ever wondered why the nutrients in the food we consume have particular effects on our bodies? Why food allergies are on the rise? How gut health is linked to everything from mood to immunity? Or simply just wanted to know more about the relationship between science, nutrition, and our bodies?

Scientists are continually uncovering new understandings of how nutrition affects our strength, mobility, energy, and even mood. And there’s fascinating research on the horizon.

Join us as we invite our expert hosts and globally renowned guests as they share their knowledge and expertise in the fields of health and nutrition, to help us uncover the simple science behind successfully managing our complex everyday health needs. We’ll cover everything related to nutrition: from how it affects our brains to women’s health, to the meaning of “sustainable nutrition” and more. We even myth-bust.

The Nutrition Unlocked podcast, sponsored by Nestlé Health Science, brings to life the intersection of science and nutrition. With aging populations and people taking greater control of their health than ever before, we are making the science of nutrition simpler and more accessible for people all over the world and at every stage of life.

This podcast represents the opinions of our hosts and their guests and does not reflect the opinion of Nestlé Health Science. The content is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare professional for any medical questions.

The podcast is available for download across all major podcast platforms including Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts. You can also access it via the official Nutrition Unlocked website.

Professor Stephen Cunnane

Professor Stephen Cunnane is a Professor at the Université de Sherbrooke, Canada, from the Department of Medicine, where he holds the Clinical Research Chair in Ketotherapeutics.

The main themes of his current research are to use brain imaging techniques to study changing brain fuel metabolism and cognitive function during aging, and to understand how and why omega-3 fatty acid homeostasis changes during aging. He has published over 280 peer-reviewed research papers and was elected to the French National Academy of Medicine in 2009.

Stephen has also published five books including two on flaxseed in human health and two on nutritional and metabolic constraints on human brain evolution – ‘Survival of the Fattest: The Key to Human Brain Evolution’ (World Scientific 2005), and ‘Human Brain Evolution: Influence of Fresh and Coastal Food Resources’ (Wiley, 2010).
