About this listen
What you eat doesn’t just impact you – it shapes the world around you.
Wonderfully enlightening and engagingly written. Dr Idz
If you are looking at ways to combat the exploitation of the planet this book is for you. Rhiannon Lambert

In Well Fed, James Collier, former NHS dietitian and co-founder of Huel, is on a mission to debunk the myths about food and nutrition to reveal why what we eat is not only having a devastating impact on our health, but also on our planet.
The industrialisation of our food system has wreaked havoc on earth's natural biodiversity, diminished the nutritional value of the food that is produced and has been a major contributor to global warming. The result? A planet in crisis and a surge in diseases of excess.
By challenging conventional wisdom and embracing a more balanced and nuanced approach, Collier shows that we can:
- Improve our health by boosting physical and mental well-being
- Protect the planet by reducing our environmental impact
- Support our communities in fostering a more sustainable food system
Supercharge your health with Collier's five pillars of contemplative nutrition, which offer a simple, holistic solution to inspire a sustainable approach to food.
The future of food, our health and the planet is in our hands. Let's act now.

Well Fed brings a fresh perspective to the complex relationship between nutrition, our health, and the planet. His approach empowers readers to make informed choices, balancing personal well-being with environmental sustainability. As a fellow advocate for reducing (less nutritious) ultra-processed foods, I fully support his vision of a food system where eating well also means caring for our planet. Nichola Ludlam-Raine

An insightful and upbeat book on the history, ethics and sustainability of food. James shows us how we ended up with the challenges of our modern food landscape, and gives us the tools to navigate it. Barbara Bray MBE
In his insightful book, James has skilfully shown us the links between human health, human ethics and planetary health like never before. He highlights the importance of combining traditions (home cooked meals and eating with others) with modern nutrition science and food technology to provide a hopeful vision for a healthy future for humans and planet. Dr Gemma Newman
James combines decades of experience as a nutritionist, a wide range of expert sources with a deep understanding of how we assimilate and digest information today to bring all important mindfulness back into what we eat. Mallika Basu
