  • Another political podcast

    It’s unfortunate because I was a faithful listener of this show. Since the election you find a way to bring politics into every show by letting it be known how you feel about the current administration. You mention them on every show.

  • Best source for educational nutrition

    I’ve been reading many articles and resources about healthy nutrition, and it’s rare to find such balanced and educational approach to nutrition.

    The show provides insights on many untouched nutrients subjects in objective and fun way.

  • Waste of time

    In less than five minutes I had enough information to realize this podcast host has no idea what she’s talking about. She stated that there’s no evidence that sugar makes cancer grow, that it has a negative impact on immunity, or that sugar consumption puts one at increased risk of diabetes. Is she living in a fantasy world or in the payroll of The Sugar Association? Good grief. There are better, more informed voices in the podcast space. I won’t waste another minute of my time on this one.

  • Rolling my eyes

    This is what is wrong with healthcare and our food industry. Ultra processed food labeling leads to ‘inequality’ and ‘alienation’ really??? How about we find ways to get better foods at better prices?!? UPF provide nutrition, and no health risks…..seriously??? Mainstream dietitians need to do a bit more digging and learning.

Some approaches promoting food addiction can lead to rigid behaviors similar to disordered eating, potentially causing more harm than good.
How to overhaul your diet
Q: What are the top priorities for overhauling a diet?
The top priorities include drastically reducing sweetened beverages, eating more fruits and vegetables, reducing processed snack foods, moderating fried foods, and limiting refined grains.
How to Eat Healthy When Traveling
Q: Gwynn writes, I've been vegetarian for about three years and I eat a lot of plant-based meats. And I wonder if they're actually healthy or not.
