Zoe and Kylie help listeners appreciate the research takeaways without making you click on a single PubMed article. They bring real life application to the research-backed recommendations and help filter out the nuance and bologna (typically while referencing gummy worms or fruit and vegetables) that can be so easily consumed through rapid media platforms, or our government. Thanks ladies for making learning about diet, diet culture and fueling workouts fun!
