- awesome, nuanced nutrition insights
This podcast is great. Kylee and Zoë bring complementary skills to the proverbial table and critically discuss diets, the latest nutrition hacks, and studies that sound too good to be true. And they are funny so it’s entertaining! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to think critically about what they eat, and why - but also knows that food is much more than just fuel.

Denmarka month ago - Figure out fueling…
Came recommended and easy to take seriously. They consistently bring the science while talking about fueling and debunking diet culture. Zoe brings deep research; Kylee brings years of RD experience. If you can’t take a little swearing, well, I dunno what to say.

I have been listening to this podcast from the beginning, and appreciate Kylee and Zoë’s thoroughly researched, hilarious takedowns of diet culture and pseudoscience in nutrition. They have helped change my relationship with fueling and food in endurance running.
Also, like, for sure read this review with upspeak and vocal fry, to like, totally piss off the reviewer who equates the way many women talk with sounding unintelligent. Reviewing multiple peer-reviewed studies per episode illiterate? ... more
