"Casey's Keto Connections" with Dr. Zoë Harcombe, PhD
By Go Keto with Casey
Dr. Zoë Harcombe, PhD
www.zoeharcombe.com
Author, researcher, and speaker in the field of diet, health, and nutrition.
Dr. Zoë Harcombe is a Cambridge graduate and author of several books including Why do you overeat? When all you want is to be slim? (2004 & 2013); Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight (2008); The Obesity Epidemic: What caused it? How can we stop it? (2010); The Harcombe Diet 3-step plan (2013) and The Diet Fix (2019).
Zoë has a PhD in public health nutrition. Her thesis was entitled “An examination of the randomized controlled trial and epidemiological evidence for the introduction of dietary fat recommendations in 1977 and 1983: A systematic review and meta-analysis.” A number of peer-reviewed articles have emanated from this work [1-8].
Appearing regularly on radio and TV, regionally and nationally, Zoë has had the opportunity to participate in: Sky News; Steve Wright in the Afternoon; Radio 4's The Food Programme; ITV’s Tonight program; and BBC Newsnight. Further afield, she has been interviewed by America's Fox News and Cape Town radio. Zoë has written for most national UK newspapers and magazines.
Zoë passionately believes that current dietary advice is wrong and that populations need to return to eating the real food that we ate before we had epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Apparently, this is a controversial proposition! Zoë shares her views at conferences worldwide and in her highly-accessed diet and nutrition blog (www.zoeharcombe.com).
Zoë lives with her husband and rescue animals in the Welsh countryside surrounded by food, a.k.a. sheep, hens, and cows.
