"You can't have a health secretary who is not dealing with diet."

It's "completely nonsensical" to have a health secretary who has to recuse herself from discussions about sugar, former government food tsar @HenryDimbleby tells #TimesRadio.

“I certainly don’t veto van Tulleken’s valiant efforts to raise awareness around diet-related disease – but I won’t be binning the baked beans just yet.”

3. Resist the 'righting reflex'.

We may naturally jump to correct people, provide solutions and recommend changes.

But this can often be ineffective.

Instead resist the reflex!

Facilitate and guide exploration so the person can figure out their own motivations and solutions.

[Jacob I Hamilton @Hamilton_J_I]

I learned lots from last week’s chat with @DrZoeWilliams & Newcastle Lifestyle Medicine Society @BritSocLM.

How can we influence positive behaviour change?🍎

It's not as simple as just providing education. ❌

So I asked for consultation advice?

Zoe gave me 3 great tips! 👇🧵

[Jacob I Hamilton @Hamilton_J_I]

2. Remind them that small changes can make a BIG difference.

Zoe mentioned a quote from @doctorloosemore to illustrate how small frequent lifestyle changes can be as impactful as larger more difficult changes.

Run 10 marathons = unrealistic.
Stand up for 3 hours = realistic.

My opinion piece just out in @bmj_latest
"Investing in public health policies that help tackle the climate emergency makes economic sense, as well as being good for human and planetary health."
