  • Bite Size: The Hidden Reason So Many People Get Sick | Matty Lansdown (Former Cancer Researcher)
    Nov 9 2025

    Most of us have grown up believing that sickness is just something that “happens to us.” A diagnosis. A body that went wrong. A bit of bad luck.

    But what if that’s not the full story?

    In this bite-size conversation from Episode #95, former cancer researcher turned nutritionist Matty Lansdown shares what he learned after years inside hospital labs: we were treating symptoms, not causes. And the more he looked, the clearer it became—the body isn’t broken. It’s responding.

    This is the story of what happens when you step out of the system you were trained to trust… and begin to see the intelligence of the human body in a completely different way. Nature doesn’t make mistakes. But sometimes we misunderstand the message.
