  • 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!

  • 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.

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.
