  • Nutrition Diva Changed My Life!

    I rarely write reviews, but I’m very enthusiastic about this podcast! I started listening to it last year. I immediately dropped 65 pounds and no longer need blood pressure medicine, statins or anti-GERD meds. I’m happier and healthier than I’ve been in years!

    Okay, that might be a bit of hyperbole. In truth, I did lose 65 pounds over the next year and while I still take BP meds and a statin, my numbers were within normal ranges by 6 months in. In fact, I went from having fatty liver disease a... more

  • Judgement-free & data-supported

    I love the style of this podcast. Monica provides data-driven information so you can make an informed decision. She explains things clearly, and provides definitions for the less commonly known terms to help those of us who don’t live in the nutrition world full time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is it safe to cook in aluminum foil?
Q: What about Hannah's concern regarding water packaged in aluminum bottles and cans?
Most beverage containers are lined to prevent corrosion and preserve taste, but those linings are often polymer-based, so while aluminum is recyclable, it's not a completely plastic-free option; opting for reusable bottles can be a healthier and more sustainable choice.
Is it safe to cook in aluminum foil?
Q: Does it matter which side of the foil touches the food—the shiny side or the dull side?
No, for ordinary aluminum foil the distinction between shiny and dull sides is not a safety or performance issue; both sides work the same for cooking unless you're using non-stick foil which may have a coating that should contact the food as directed.
Is it safe to cook in aluminum foil?
Q: Are there any concerns about cooking on aluminum foil?
There can be aluminum leaching into food, especially with acidic or salty foods and at high temperatures, but for many everyday uses the risk is low; parchment paper between foil and food can reduce leaching and there are practical alternatives to foil for short-term or lightweight use.
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.
