How to engage in wellness online without losing your mind with Clara Nosek RD 1:17:17

2M ago1:17:17

1:17:17

I know this is gonna seem a wee bit hypocritical, given that I owe my career to the internet, but as a dietitian, I cannot stand just how warped online nutrition information has become.

How "good" stress makes you healthier, with Dr Sharon Bergquist MD 1:11:51

3M ago1:11:51

1:11:51

At this point, I think we’ve all gotten the memo that chronic stress is bad for us. We know that stress can mess with our gut health, our heart health and more. BUT (and this is a big BUT)... did you know that some forms of “good” stress can actually make you not just healthier, but stronger and more resilient to chronic stress? It’s kind of a mind…

How a little nature can help you heal with Jessica Murnane 54:47

5M ago54:47

54:47

Even if you don’t think of yourself as outdoorsy, the research is pretty clear: time spent unplugged - bonus if it’s got a little “outside thrown in” - is pretty dang good for you.

Nutrition for Constipation with Andrea Hardy RD 58:29

6M ago58:29

58:29

Are you constipated? Better question: did you know that you could be constipated even if you poop regularly?

In the US? According to t…

8M ago59:01

59:01

Did you know that there are steps you can take as a parent to help reduce the risk of food allergies in your kids? And that all it takes is a surprisingly simple shift in how we feed our babies?

What is the Mediterranean diet, really? With Vanessa Perrone RD 1:02:24

9M ago1:02:24

1:02:24

If there is one diet we talk about most in nutrition, it’s the Mediterranean diet. Year after year, it gets ranked as one of the “best diets” in the world (what the heck does that even mean?!?) but as a registered dietitian, I think there is a lot that goes unsaid about this way of eating. Namely, that it’s not a “diet” at all…it’s a specific dieta…

How much protein do you actually need? Solo Ep with Desiree 35:18

10M ago35:18

35:18

Of all the hot topics in nutrition, there are few as loud - and confusing - as protein. As a plant-based dietitian, I’ve seen it all: from a dietitian telling everyone to go on a low protein diet (what?!?) to a trainer telling everyone to eat their body weight in protein (double what!). So in this solo episode, I wanted to do a deep dive on the top…

Choosing the Creative Path with Nisha Vora of Rainbow Plant Life 46:31

11M ago46:31

46:31

I’ve noticed how food content on social media has started to veer towards viral food combinations…but making a cake out of mushed up oreos or wraps out of cottage cheese isn’t exactly what you want for dinner. Creating reliable and exciting plant-based recipes that you’ll use again and again takes a lot of skill and a lot of passion. So I am so exc…

Plant-based nutrition for hormone health with Rohini Bajekal MSc 1:07:25

1y ago1:07:25

1:07:25

If you’ve been inundated with people talking about hormone health online, you’re not alone… it’s definitely a big trend. And in some ways, I am happy it is.

1y ago58:33

58:33

Our bodies are meant to change…which means the way we care for them might need to change too.

And if so, this is the episode for you. We ar…

The Science of Menopause with Dr Nitu Bajekal MD 1:11:01

1y ago1:11:01

1:11:01

If you’re the proud owner of a pair of ovaries, and you’re “of a certain age” you may have noticed that things are starting to change. Could it be…perimenopause??? It can be hard to talk about perimenopause and the menopause transition…not the least of which is that there is still such a ridiculous stigma about women getting older. Like it’s a “use…

Probiotics 101 with Bailey Hanna RD 58:31

1+ y ago58:31

58:31

Of all of the supplements on the shelf, by far the most complicated ones are probiotics. How complicated? Even health professionals don’t always fully understand them! Because probiotics aren’t just one thing: every individual strain of probiotics - or combination of strains - is a totally unique entity so we can’t just paint them all with the same…

Comfort Baking with Blogger Amanda Paa 52:11

1+ y ago52:11

52:11

When the going gets tough, do you get going… right into the kitchen? What is it about baking that is so deeply satisfying and comforting? I mean, eating your baking is deeply comforting but what about the act of baking itself? Why do so many of us reach for our apron when we need to chill?

Nutrition for Heart Health with Dr Adrian Chavez PhD 58:38

1+ y ago58:38

58:38

As a dietitian on the internet, it’s not lost on me that there is a MAJOR difference in what people want to see versus what will actually make the biggest difference in their health. Case in point: the enormous amount of content debating the “dangers” of oats or the “benefits” of colostrum and how so very few people actually talk about heart health…

Is sugar bad for you? Solo ep with Desiree 45:04

1+ y ago45:04

45:04

Sugar: the stuff of celebratory birthday cakes and wellness myth.

Culture, Connection and Community with Asha Wheeldon 45:16

1+ y ago45:16

45:16

Growing up, life happened around my grandparent’s kitchen table. Food formed the rhythm of our days…so I feel a special connection to others who share that love of connecting over a meal. And a few years ago, I had the pleasure of connecting with our guest, Asha Wheeldon, over a meal that she co-hosted with a mutual friend. Especially at this time …

Feed Your Cravings with Sam Turnbull 44:29

1+ y ago44:29

44:29

If you’re one of those folks who shies away from vegan food because you love all the eggy, cheesy, meaty goodness of omnivore life…well, I get it. I was a vegetarian for a looooong time because I couldn’t imagine not eating cheese. I think that’s probably one of the biggest misconceptions about vegans and plant-based eaters: no one goes vegan becau…
