Elite Sports Nutrition | The Truth About Detoxes, and Body Fat Scales | Dr Chris Clayton

In this episode I sit down with Dr Chris Clayton, Head of Academy Nutrition at Newcastle United, to talk about what actually works in nutrition versus what the internet wants you to believe. We get into why body fat percentage readings (DEXA, calipers, bioelectrical impedance) can vary wildly even on the same person, why the £500 million detox industry is built on nothing, why "balance" isn't always the answer if you actually want to change, and the real psychology behind why so many people fall into an all-or-nothing cycle. Chris also breaks down how he gets elite footballers to actually change their eating habits using small, achievable swaps rather than overwhelming overhauls — and why that same approach works for anyone, not just athletes. If you've ever been confused by a body composition reading, fallen for a "detox," or felt like you have to choose between balance and results — this one's for you.
