  • Refreshing. Debunks Junk Science.

    I loved the episode on How Misinformation Spreads. I am a medical doctor and have been surprised how the least qualified people in the nutrition world have the loudest voices. And they make a ton of money misleading people. Everyone should listen to that episode! Great work!

  • A Nutrition Podcast for REAL PEOPLE!

    This podcast is a must listen for anyone who wants to learn about nutrition and diet practices. I have struggled with disordered eating and shame around diet and media my entire life. A few years ago, I found myself in a place where I was so obsessed with my food intake that I ONLY listened to nutrition podcasts. It created so much anxiety around what I ate, as these other pods often demonized junk food and processed sugar at ANY amount. It was especially detrimental given my limited access to c... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Food Combining Diets
Q: Jen, is food combining worth it? Should I do this?
Of course not, Matt. There is absolutely no science to suggest that certain foods shouldn't be eaten together.
Vitamin D Truths (and Truthers)
Q: What does the research say about vitamin D supplementation and infection risk?
While observational data shows low vitamin D correlates with worse COVID outcomes, randomized controlled trials have found no major difference in health-related outcomes with supplementation, highlighting the need for more controlled studies.
Vitamin D Truths (and Truthers)
Q: What is the relationship between vitamin D and depression?
Observational studies suggest a correlation between higher vitamin D levels and lower depression symptoms, but randomized controlled trials do not support the idea that vitamin D supplementation cures depression.
Let’s Talk About Microplastics... (with Dr. Katie Pelch)
Q: What are the main sources of microplastics that people encounter?
Microplastics can be found in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and even absorb through our skin, with significant sources being textiles and packaged foods.
Let’s Talk About Microplastics... (with Dr. Katie Pelch)
Q: What are microplastics?
