  • Meh

    They’re professionals and I think 90% of what they’re saying is completely accurate but the delivery is so Aussie millennial mama-Mia style (including shilling their supplements) I can’t listen to any more

  • Off putting

    Interested in the content but can’t keep listening due to Leanne’s delivery - it sounds like she’s calling a horse race, she speaks so quickly and without taking a breath.

  • Love this podcast

    I’m probably in a minority being a guy who listens to this but i find it to be such a fun, helpful resource. Only discovered it about two months ago from hearing promos for it playing on commercial radio and i’ve already been able to implement a heap of changes to my diet from listening to Susie and Leanne. And the female-focused segments i still listen and pay attention to because i may learn something that i can share with the women in my life. Can’t believe it took me so long to discover it b... more

  • Not useful for me

    It seems that the information supplied is lacking actual evidence based research. Sounds like an advertising agency more than useful nutritional information. Definitely not worth listening to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Weight Loss Non-Negotiables Before Party Season + The Nut Calorie Surprise
Q: Is coconut water a good option for hydration?
The hosts say coconut water can be fine in small amounts, but its sugar content and limited electrolyte balance make it less suitable for rehydration than a formulated electrolyte solution; plain water is sufficient for many people.
Why Eating More Fibre Can Make Constipation Worse
Q: I don't really use a lot of olive oil or avocado, but I love peanut butter. Can I use this as my main fat of choice?
Susie Burrell says a tablespoon could provide a reasonable amount of monounsaturated fat but recommends including other sources, especially foods supplying long-chain polyunsaturated fats. Leanne Ward also favors variety, suggesting olive oil, nuts, seeds, and mixed nut butters rather than relying mainly on peanut butter.
Is Your Ferritin Really Normal? New Iron Guidelines + High-Protein Cereals
Q: The herbal supplement berberine, does it do everything it says it's going to do, which is claims around insulin resistance, blood glucose control, fat loss for women. Does it do what it says it's going to do?
The hosts say evidence for berberine is limited, with some research suggesting effects on blood sugar, insulin resistance and cholesterol, but little evidence for weight loss. They do not routinely recommend it and stress that it is not equivalent to GLP-1 medication.
Tomato Sauce Ranked by Dietitians + Can Creatine Add 48 Mins of Sleep?
Q: Is the Banjo Koala carob bear healthier than regular chocolate?
The hosts conclude that carob bears are not healthier overall; they have similar or higher saturated fat and calories compared with many milk chocolates, though some chocolates with high cocoa content (70%+) can be lower in sugar and richer in antioxidants. The carob option may be convenient or perceived as healthier, but it is not categorically healthier.
How Much Protein Is Too Much? The 80-Gram Burger That Prompted the Question, Plus New Research on the Best Diet for Menopause
Q: Specifically, this question was around collagen. How do I take it every day to make it easier?
The hosts discuss building a simple daily habit, such as adding collagen to coffee, yogurt, or smoothies; consistency for about 8-12 weeks is where benefits tend to emerge, and many people also include creatine in a daily stack for cumulative effects.
