In this episode, host Anna Lempriere speaks with Julie Fleming, a Specialist Community Dietitian with over 14 years’ experience in diabetes, nutrition, and community health across West Cornwall. Julie also has 27 years of experience as a fitness instructor, supporting people to build strength, confidence and better long-term health.

Together, Anna and Julie explore the essential question many people ask: Can nutrition reduce the risk of dementia or help slow its progression? Julie shares evidence-based guidance, explains what current research is telling us, and breaks down complex information into simple, everyday actions.
