Is vaping a lifesaving alternative to smoking, or Big Tobacco's newest trap for young people?

In this episode of The Unprocessed Truth, Hazel Cheeseman, Chief Executive of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), joins us to reveal the unfiltered facts about vaping. We break down the alarming rise of unregulated nicotine pouches, debunk the dangerous trend that nicotine helps you "focus," and expose the shocking hypocrisy of Big Tobacco pushing a "smoke-free" future in the UK while aggressively marketing lethal cigarettes across Africa and Asia.

What we cover:

• The Vaping Reality: It is magnitudes less harmful than smoking, but inhaling aerosols is far from risk-free for your lungs.

• The Pouch Loophole: How heavily marketed, ultra-strong nicotine pouches currently have no age restrictions.

• The "Focus" Myth: Why the mental "focus" you get from nicotine is actually just your brain relieving its own painful withdrawal symptoms.

• Global Hypocrisy: How Big Tobacco fights basic health regulations in emerging markets to protect their billion-dollar cash cow.

• Redefining Health: Why the ultimate gift of health is simply "not having to think about your health".

This week on The Unprocessed Truth, we are peeling back the veil on the global fasting craze.

From Silicon Valley to your social media feed, we’re constantly bombarded with claims that skipping meals is the secret to vitality. But behind the 'health halo,' are we just looking at a repackaged way to trigger metabolic chaos?

Sunna Van Kampen is joined once again by expert Dietitian Natalie Louise Burrows as we grill the industry and debunk the junk science. We’re stripping away the jargon to expose the unprocessed truth about what happens to your hormones when you stop eating, and why we believe the 16:8 method might be failing you.

In this episode, we reveal:

• The 36-Hour Fail: Why hardcore water fasting can leave you unable to function at work.
• The "Men vs. Women" Trap: Why women MUST stop treating their bodies like men when it comes to skipping breakfast.
• The Grazing Scam: Why eating "healthy" snacks in your window is stopping you from burning fat.
• Metabolic Flexibility: The secret to walking around without a snack in your bag.

Meat is poison. Plants are trying to kill you. That is the current state of the online nutrition debate. But where is the nuance, and what does the science actually say?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Gemma Newman (The Plant Power Doctor) to bridge the gap between the Carnivore and Vegan extremes. We strip away the social media noise to uncover the biological reality of what these diets do to your body - from the initial "high" of the Carnivore diet to the long-term risks hidden inside your arteries.

We discuss why "gym bros" are dropping dead of heart attacks, the surprising truth about burnt broccoli vs. burnt steak, and why arguing with nutrition influencers is like playing chess with a pigeon

Ever wondered why a block of butter costs a small fortune at the supermarket while dairy farmers are being paid pennies?

In this eye-opening episode, Sunna van Kampen sits down with Diarmaid Mac Colgáin, founder of Concept Dairy, to pull back the curtain on a rigged system.

From the "commodity-trader" secrets of big processors to the shocking reality of farmers being forced to dump milk, Diarmaid reveals why the current model is pushing the next generation away from the land. We dive into the hidden dangers of methane suppressants, the truth behind supermarket "halo" marketing, and why the recent inheritance tax changes could be the final nail in the coffin for the family farm.

What we cover:

• The Milk Price Casino: Why there is zero transparency in what you pay vs. what the farmer earns.
• The 1p-a-Litre Scandal: How big dairy conglomerates rig the system and force farmers to dump their produce.
• Bovaer & Methane Suppressants: The "smoking" equivalent of the dairy world - are we ignoring animal welfare for marketing claims?
• The "White Butter" Warning: Why the colour of your butter tells you everything you need to know about the cow’s health.
• Food Security: Why the UK only has two weeks of food left and how we can save the British family farm.

Welcome back to The Unprocessed Truth. I’m Sunna van Kampen, and today we’re crossing the Atlantic to witness a nutrition earthquake.

America has just flipped the food pyramid on its head. In a radical 2026 reset, the US government has "declared war" on added sugar and ultra-processed foods, while placing red meat, full-fat dairy, and healthy fats at the very top of the priority list. For 40 years, we were told to build our health on a base of grains - now, those same grains have been downgraded to the smallest tip of the triangle.

Is this the "Real Food" awakening we’ve been waiting for, or a scientific contradiction that goes against decades of heart-health advice? I’m peeling back the marketing veil on the 2025–2030 guidelines to see what we can learn from this massive experiment in "unprocessed" living.

What we cover:

• The Inverted Triangle: Why protein is the new foundation and why grains are officially on the "naughty list."
• The 10g Rule: Inside the new mandate that says "no amount" of added sugar is healthy.
• Seed Oils vs. Tallow: Why butter and beef tallow are making a government-sanctioned comeback.
• The Global Impact: Will the UK follow suit, or are we witnessing a nutrition divide?

Welcome back to The Unprocessed Truth. I’m Sunna van Kampen, and I’m here to peel back the "marketing veil" the food industry doesn’t want you to see.

Most of us are making health decisions by default, not by design. We pick the same brands and fall for the same "healthy" labels, yet 9 in 10 of us are still nutrient deficient. It’s time to stop the guesswork and start winning at the supermarket.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the core principles from my new book, "The Good, the Bad and the Healthy." We aren’t talking about boring diets or impossible lifestyle overhauls—we’re talking about smart, simple upgrades.

What we cover:

• The 26 for '26 Swaps: Sunna breaks down 26 simple, high-impact food swaps you need to make this year to reclaim your vitality.
• Label Lies: How to spot the "bad" hiding behind the "healthy" branding.
• Small Wins, Big Gains: Practical tips to upgrade your fridge, your habits, and your health—one smart swap at a time.

Stop being overfed and undernourished. It’s time to find the balance and make healthy... actually easy.
