How to Stay Energised All Winter: Food, Exercise & the Habits That Help

Why are we hungrier in the winter? This week, Dr Greg Potter and Charlie Edmondson unpack the everyday science of winter health, exploring why some of us feel hungrier in the winter, less energetic and less motivated to move. They discuss why the humble boiled potato deserves a rethink, and how soups, seasonal vegetables, mushrooms and spices can support a balanced winter diet. Plus, they look at this year’s trend of fibremaxxing, explain why more is not always better and share practical ways to keep exercising when mornings are cold and evenings are dark. *NEW* Watch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themethodpod Key moments: 00:00 - Welcome to The Method 01:18 - Why are we hungrier in the winter? 04:44 - The most filling food 29:41 - Fibremaxxing 37:36 - How to keep moving when motivation drops 📧 Send us your health questions for future episodes, by email or voice note [email protected] About Thriva: Thriva is a proactive health platform built for the modern age.
