Episode 8: What If Leadership Has a Biological Blind Spot?

Most leadership thinking has moved from command-and-control toward psychological safety and emotional intelligence but it tends to stop at the mind and the nervous system. In this episode, nutrition-for-mental-wellbeing expert Laura Bryan makes the case for going one layer further: the gut-brain connection, and what happens when a workforce is properly fuelled, not just well-managed. Drawing on ten years working inside the housing sector, Laura shares what she's learned building wellbeing programmes that actually land, why so much workplace nutrition advice does more harm than good, and what leaders are missing when they treat wellbeing as a perk rather than infrastructure.
