• Protein Powder, Gender Supplements & the Wellness Industry's Dirty Little Secrets With Callum Weir & Anna Falk 26.06.2026 1ώ 34λ

  Anna Falk is the founder of WAM Protein and someone who built a brand specifically because she got fed up with how the supplement industry operates. That's a good starting point for a conversation.We get into all of it. What's actually in your protein powder and why the regulations around it are loose enough to make you uncomfortable. Proprietary blends and why they exist, spoiler: not for your benefit. Gender-specific supplements and why they're mostly nonsense dressed up in pink packaging. The sucralose debate. Creatine, leucine, bioavailability, protein bars, electrolytes, and the diet culture that's managed to worm its way into an industry that should know better.Anna also talks about starting WAM, what it actually takes to formulate a protein product properly, and why most brands aren't doing it. We start with Hyrox, which is where her story begins, and it goes from there.If you've ever stood in a supplement aisle and felt like everyone was lying to you, this is the episode.Find me:⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Iron Without the Bull⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee
• Slaughterhouses, Undercover Footage & What the Meat Industry Has Been Hiding With Callum Weir & Gail Einitz 19.06.2026 56λ

  Gail Eisnitz has spent decades going where most people would never willingly go. As Chief Investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of Slaughterhouse, she's built a career on documenting what happens behind the closed doors of the meat industry, and then making sure someone actually does something about it.We talk about all of it. What it's actually like inside a slaughterhouse. How you get into these situations, whether that's strategy or just turning up and hoping for the best. What undercover investigations looked like before smartphones existed and social media could do half the work for you. The personal toll of spending years immersed in something that most people can't even bring themselves to read about. And the thing she mentioned early on about seeing the world differently, made up of dots, which sounds abstract until she explains it and then it makes complete sense.This is one of those conversations that's genuinely hard to walk away from unchanged.

• Cheese Caves, AI, Beef & Who's Lying to You About Food With Callum Weir & Sapna Peruvemba 12.06.2026 1ώ 37λ

  Sapna Peruvemba is back. Registered dietitian, PhD student in environmental nutrition, and one of the few people I've had on twice because the first conversation wasn't nearly long enough.This time we go properly into it. Cheese caves, the dairy industry, and the kind of thing that makes you realise how much of what you think you know about food was written by the people selling it to you. We get into AI versus beef and the environmental argument that nobody in the meat industry wants to have. And then the bit I find most interesting, how misinformation actually works in nutrition, why the Dunning-Kruger effect is absolutely rampant in this space, and how to tell the difference between someone cherry-picking data and someone who actually knows what they're talking about.We also talk about veganism in Germany, social media trolls, food deserts, and how cultural differences shape the way people approach health and nutrition entirely differently.It's a long one. Worth it.Find me:Substack⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠Iron Without the Bull⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee

• The US Food Pyramid, Medical Training & The Politics Of Nutrition W/ Callum Weir & Dr Michael Klaper 10.03.2026 1ώ 3λ

  How much nutrition training do doctors actually receive?It’s a question that surprises a lot of people, especially when we realise that many of the chronic diseases doctors treat every day are heavily influenced by diet and lifestyle.In this episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with physician and long-time plant-based advocate Dr Michael Klaper to explore one of the biggest gaps in modern healthcare: the disconnect between medicine and nutrition.Dr Klaper has spent decades working to shift medicine toward a model that prioritises prevention, lifestyle change, and evidence-based nutrition, rather than simply managing disease once it appears.Together we unpack the newly proposed American dietary guidelines and food pyramid, the political and cultural forces shaping them, and why dietary advice can sometimes reflect industry influence as much as scientific consensus.We also dig into some of the most persistent nutrition debates from the controversy surrounding soy, to the cultural attachment to dairy, and how decades of research are often overshadowed by misinformation.Along the way, Dr Klaper shares insights from his own upbringing and medical training in the United States, where nutrition education within medical school was surprisingly limited, a reality that still shapes how healthcare is practiced today.This conversation looks at the bigger picture: how healthcare systems evolve, why prevention struggles to compete with treatment, and what it might take to move medicine in a direction that truly supports long-term health.If you’ve ever wondered why nutrition often sits on the sidelines of modern medicine, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest look at the challenges and the opportunities ahead.🧠 In This Episode We Cover• The new American food pyramid and the controversy surrounding modern dietary guidelines• Why nutrition education in medical school is often limited• The role of prevention in modern healthcare systems• Soy, dairy and the nutrition debates that refuse to disappear• How misinformation around food spreads faster than science• Dr Klaper’s upbringing and journey into medicine• The cultural and political influences behind dietary advice• The gap between lifestyle medicine and traditional healthcare• Why chronic disease continues to rise despite advances in medicine• What moving medicine forward could actually look like

We talk longevity, resilience, and what it really means to age well, not just longer.And yes we explore all of this through the lens of a plant-based lifestyle, without protein panic, fear-mongering, or outdated assumptions about what older bodies are “allowed” to do.This isn’t motivation porn.🧠 In This Episode, We Cover:• Why it’s never too late to start strength training — at any age• Ageing vs decline: why the two are not the same thing• The role of resistance training in bone health, balance, confidence & independence• Why strength matters more than aesthetics as we get older• How mindset shapes physical capability later in life• The quiet danger of being told to “take it easy” as you age• Training for life — not just the gym• Building strength, resilience, and longevity on a plant-based diet• Challenging the low expectations society places on ageing bodies (especially women)• What Jane wants people to understand about getting older — before it’s too late

  Vanessa Sturman is back on the Plant Fuelled Podcast for the fourth time, which honestly says everything because when the nutrition world starts losing its grip on reality, this is the conversation you need.This episode is part reflection, part rant, part reality check.We look back at the nutrition and wellness trends of 2025, the ones that exploded, the ones that quietly disappeared, and the ones that made us both want to scream into a pillow. From people no longer trusting qualified doctors, to influencers diagnosing hormonal conditions off a TikTok comment section, to restrictive diets rebranding themselves just enough to look “reasonable” again.We talk about how the carnivore diet didn’t disappear, it just shape-shifted into “animal-based.” How self-diagnosis has become a badge of honour. Why “biohacking” has replaced basic habits. And how the wellness industry keeps selling urgency, fear, and 30-day fixes to people who actually just need consistency and patience.But it’s not all doom.We also dig into the better shifts we’re seeing, fibre finally getting the attention it deserves, people thinking longer-term, and a slow (but important) move back toward sustainable, boring, effective health behaviours.This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, confused, or quietly sceptical about where nutrition culture is heading and wants a calmer, smarter way forward.🔥 The 2025 nutrition trends that need to die immediately📉 Why people trust influencers more than doctors and how we got here🧠 The rise of self-diagnosis & why it’s becoming genuinely dangerous🥩 How carnivore quietly morphed into “animal-based” same restriction, new label🌾 Fibre maxing: why this is one trend we’re actually happy to see⚖️ Why health isn’t built in 30 days (no matter what Instagram says)🚫 The problem with hacks, protocols & constant optimisation🧩 How to get more out of your nutrition heading into 2026📱 Wellness content vs real-world health outcomes🧘 Why a “healthy lifestyle” beats any challenge, cleanse or reset🧠 Rebuilding trust in evidence, professionals & your own body🔁 What Vanessa’s seen change and what hasn’t after years in nutritionThis is a grounded, honest conversation between two people who’ve watched the wellness space evolve in real time and aren’t afraid to call out where it’s gone wrong.

  What actually happens when a world obsessed with profit starts burning through resources faster than it can replace them?Iron Without The Bull E bookThis week on the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with someone who lives at the centre of that tension,  Stephen Geary: environmental activist, vegan advocate, and founder of Plantfaced Coffee Shop Stephen isn’t just speaking about sustainability from the sidelines, he’s inside the systems, pushing against the pressure points, applying the ethics most people only talk about.This conversation isn’t doom and gloom. It’s clarity. It’s uncomfortable truth mixed with grounded action. It’s the kind of talk that makes you step back and rethink how the world actually works and how much power we still have to shape it.We dig into everything from the broken food system to the cultural narratives that keep the status quo alive. Why big companies still dominate with practices that exploit the land. What “seasonal food” really means in a globalised world. Whether carbon footprint is even the metric that matters anymore. And the messy, complicated relationship between activism, business, and trying to do the right thing in a world that rewards the opposite.This one’s a reminder: you can love coffee, food, nature, animals, community, and still be part of a system that harms them. The real question is what you choose to do with that awareness.🌍 The environmental cost of a world driven by profit instead of people🌱 Why animal agriculture is at the centre of so many global crises🍎 Seasonal eating vs global supply chains, does local actually matter?🚢 Carbon footprint: how much does shipping food really impact the planet?🐾 Wildlife disruption, land use, habitat loss & the ethics we ignore⚠️ Why “sustainable” products aren’t always what they claim🔥 Activism in 2025, what works, what doesn’t, and what moves the needle💼 The reality of running an ethical vegan business in an unethical world🥛 Plantfaced Coffee: building community, culture & compassion through food💬 Supply and demand and why your purchases matter more than your opinions🍄 Why the next decade will make or break the environmental future✊ How to stay hopeful without being naiveThis episode blends ethics, environment, culture, and real-world business in a way that only Stephen can bring to the table.If you care about the planet, food systems, or where your money goes, this one’s essential.Iron Without The Bull
