E158 | How Modern Diets Are Failing Us With James Collier (Co-Founder of Huel)

The Kirk Miller Podcast

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk is joined by James Collier, registered nutritionist and co-founder of Huel – one of the world’s fastest-growing nutrition brands.

Together, they unpack the misinformation, oversimplification, and ethics surrounding modern diets, and why so many high performers are getting nutrition wrong.

James brings a powerful mix of science, experience, and perspective, challenging mainstream beliefs and offering a more sustainable, balanced approach to food — for both individual health and the planet.
