In this episode, Tiago and Paul are joined by Alicia Weston, founder and CEO of Bags of Taste. Alicia shares how Bags of Taste was created after seeing that traditional cooking courses alone were not changing long-term eating habits. Instead, they focus on the real-life barriers people face - affordability and access to ingredients and equipment, as well as competing life pressures. 

From concepts such as learned helplessness to scarcity mindset, join us for this thought-provoking discussion that will make you question your onion chopping skills!

We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the BSPHN Real World Behavioural Science Podcast! After a hiatus, we are returning with fresh energy, a new hosting duo, and a mission to bring you the latest thinking in applied behavioural science. 
Join us for the first episode where Tiago interviews Paul about his "origin story" the BSPHN’s new mission to mainstream behavioural science into public sector service delivery, and why we are definitely not rebranding the acronym just yet!

Casey opens this podcast by explaining that she designs for behaviour change in the lab of messy everyday life. It’s right up our street!
 
Casey Hughes is a digital health leader and applied behavioural scientist with 15 years of experience designing novel behaviour change interventions for the prevention and management of chronic disease.
 
Working at the crossroads of behavioural medicine, public health, and digital technology, Casey has led the ground-up design of numerous health apps, coaching programs, and large-scale behaviour change interventions at leading organisations such as Stanford, Apple, and Anthem, inc. Most recently, Casey led the design of a neuroscience-based habit formation app as SVP of Behavioural Science at Fresh Tri, inc.
 
Casey’s work has helped hundreds of thousands of people enhance their mental wellbeing, achieve sustainable weight loss, and reverse chronic illness.
 
This is an action-packed conversation where Casey makes some brilliant points and brings them to life with great examples too…
 
We cover:
 
Adaptive interventions and the role of AI and technology in behaviour change
Designing for failure instead of success
Why we should all have a toolbox of behaviour change models
The importance of sociology in behaviour change
Why ego needs to be left aside in place of humility, in behavioural science
…And a bit of chat about Steve Jobs!
 
This podcast is delivered as ever on behalf of the BSPHN (Behavioural Science in Public Health Network), hosted with my colleage and friend Dr Tiago Moutela.
