  • I love this Podcast, but the ads have become too much

    I’ve loved listening to this podcast for years and maybe I’ve only just caught on, but half of each episode is ads! There’s only 3 min of content between ad breaks and there’s multiple breaks. It makes it hard to listen to. Great content, but the ad to content ratio needs to be fixed.

  • Excellent source of information

    Monica does a great job of explaining the evidence behind a variety of nutrition information. Appreciate her non-biased approach to providing education to the general public.

  • Beef Tallo & Mono Unsaturated Fats

    I find Monica’s information very informative and helpful. I personally follow the Mediterranean diet. I have been a listener for over ten years and use to be a 200 lb ex track & field performer and for the last 3 years I am a 156 lb muscular 5% body fat (8 pack) 80 yr old. I am also interested in Blue Zone diets.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your questions about coffee and health
Q: Are there other foods or drinks that should be avoided by people with an overactive bladder?
People with an overactive bladder may benefit from limiting caffeine intake, as well as avoiding alcohol and carbonated beverages, while advice around avoiding artificial sweeteners and spicy foods isn't as strongly evidence-based.
When “healthy eating” means eating more
Q: What advice do you have for those who need to eat more?
Focus on choosing higher calorie, nutrient-dense foods rather than low calorie options, adjusting your cooking methods, and separating hydration from meals to avoid filling up before consuming enough calories.
The Truth About ‘Cortisol Belly’
Q: Have you addressed the cortisol belly craze?
The hype surrounding cortisol belly is often oversimplified, and while there is some truth, it is just one part of a bigger puzzle regarding fat storage.
Nutrition Diva Mailbag: Answers to your latest questions
Q: What about these ketone drinks that claim to provide all-day energy?
Research shows exogenous ketones do not reliably improve performance and they might even interfere with carbohydrate use. They are likely expensive and unproven for most active individuals.
Nutrition Diva Mailbag: Answers to your latest questions
Q: Is sauteing just as bad as deep frying?
There is a meaningful difference; deep frying uses much more oil which can create harmful compounds, unlike pan frying which uses less oil and often fresh oil.
