No-Nonsense Nutrition: How to Eat for Life Real food, real science ... look and feel amazing

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by Dominique Ludwig who is one of the UK’s leading nutritionists with over 20 years of clinical experience as a King’s College, London. Qualified nutritionist, nutritional therapist and Fellow of the British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). Dominique’s no-nonsense, science-backed approach, combined with her calm authority and delicious meals, has resulted in a fast-growing online community of over 700,000 followers and thousands of participants to her online health and diet plans. Regularly asked to contribute to articles in the Sunday Times, T2, The Telegraph Magazine and Sheerluxe, Dominique has been heard on BBC radio as well as numerous podcasts. She runs a thriving clinic in the South Downs, where private clients include global business leaders, pop stars and the great and the good of stage and screen. Drawing on 30 years in clinic, she explains “food noise,” the biology of hunger, and why balanced meals, not willpower, drive lasting change. Her Triple 30 principle (30g protein per meal, 30g fiber daily, 30 plants weekly) underpins recipes designed to stabilise blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support gut health. From GLP-1 and fiber to breakfast timing, affordability, and alcohol, Dominique champions nourishment over restriction urging women especially to eat properly, ditch perfection, and rediscover food as powerful, practical medicine. New book launch for: No-Nonsense Nutrition, in all major book outlets.
