Most nutrition apps give you inconsistent data that might be sabotaging your health goals without you even knowing it.If you've ever been frustrated by duplicate food entries, inaccurate nutrition information, or apps that only track calories and macros while ignoring the micronutrients that truly impact your health, this episode will change how you approach nutrition tracking. In this episode on the BROADS podcast, I chat with Eliisa Tennant from Cronometer about why their science-backed approach to nutrition data is creating such a loyal following, especially among health professionals and people with specific health needs.We're tackling the biggest questions about nutrition tracking—like how Cronometer maintains such high accuracy standards, why tracking trends over time is more valuable than daily fluctuations, and how integration with wearables can reveal powerful insights about your body. Plus, we're exploring how this app is particularly valuable for women in perimenopause and menopause (something I've been recommending to my clients!), people managing chronic conditions, and anyone serious about optimizing their nutrition.Eliisa Tennant is the host of Discovering Nutrition, the podcast by Cronometer that dives deep into the science of nutrition, helping listeners understand how food impacts overall health. With a background as a certified personal trainer and a passion for evidence-based wellness, Eliisa is dedicated to making nutrition science accessible and practical for everyone.

Try MacroFactor for free with code WITSANDWEIGHTS.--Meticulously tracking your food but still not seeing results? You're not alone—and it's probably not your fault. Most calorie tracking and food logging apps are fundamentally flawed, using static formulas that never adjust to your body's changing metabolism. When you sign up for MyFitnessPal, Lose It, or Chronometer, they calculate your calorie needs once and never revisit them, despite the fact that your metabolism constantly adapts to what you eat, how much you weigh, your activity levels, sleep quality, and stress.This episode exposes why traditional tracking apps fail to deliver sustainable results and introduces the missing element: the feedback loop between what you eat and how your body responds. They are "dumb" apps, not "smart" apps.Your metabolism isn't a fixed furnace burning the same amount of fuel day after day—it's a dynamic system that becomes more efficient during calorie restriction and changes as you lose or gain weight.So use the right tool for the job if you want to lose fat and gain muscle!Main Takeaways:Traditional apps like MyFitnessPal, LoseIt, and Cronometer rely on static formulas that don't adapt to your body's changing metabolismYour metabolism constantly shifts due to weight changes, activity levels, stress, sleep, and metabolic adaptationFood tracking itself is valuable for awareness, but without a feedback loop that dynamically adjusts your targets, you'll eventually hit plateausDynamic TDEE calculation analyzes the relationship between your actual calorie intake and weight changes to provide personalized recommendationsA "smart" tracking system becomes more accurate over time as it learns about your unique metabolismEpisode Resources:Try MacroFactor for free with code WITSANDWEIGHTS.Watch my MacroFactor setup tutorialTimestamps: 0:00 - Why most calorie tracking apps are failing you 3:05 - The problem with static TDEE calculations 6:18 - How your metabolism actually adapts over time 11:07 - Specific limitations of popular tracking apps 14:46 - Why you need dynamic "smart" TDEE calculation 21:14 - Implementing an effective tracking strategy 25:19 - How proper tracking changes your behavior 27:29 - Recap and recommendationsSupport the show
Most people are eating for weight loss, not performance—and it's holding them back.If you've ever felt exhausted during workouts, struggled to recover, or found yourself constantly craving snacks, your nutrition might not be keeping up with your training. In this episode, I sit down with Christina Chu, a board-certified sports dietitian, to break down how to fuel like an athlete (even if you don't think of yourself as one).We're tackling some of the biggest misconceptions in nutrition—like why carbs aren't the enemy, why eating “clean” isn't always better, and how under-fueling is more common than you think. Plus, we're getting into the science behind pre- and post-workout meals, the truth about protein supplements, and the top three nutrients women need to focus on for strength, energy, and recovery.Christina is a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) with extensive experience working with athletes, tactical professionals, and high performers who want to optimize their nutrition without overcomplicating it. Her approach is evidence-based, realistic, and designed to help you fuel smarter—not less.If you're ready to eat in a way that actually supports your body and workouts, this episode is for you.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Sports Dietitian(10:37) Performance Plate(15:34) Nutrition for Female Athletes(27:32) Nutritional Supplements for Athletes(34:42) Understanding Food Processing and Variety(47:47) Pre-Workout and Post-Workout Nutrition(53:57) Costco Nutrition and Convenience Options(58:44) Costco Nutrition and Wellness TipsThank You to Our Sponsors: Cronometer: Track your nutrition with precision— Cronometer provides real data on macros, micros, and everything in between for better health and performance.

Welcome to another episode of Discovering Nutrition with Cronometer! In this episode, our host Eliisa sits down with Jen Hernandez, a registered dietitian and founder of Plant-Powered Kidneys, to explore an often-overlooked topic—kidney health. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions worldwide, yet many people don't realize they have it until their kidney function is significantly impaired. Jen shares her expertise on how nutrition plays a vital role in kidney function, debunks common renal diet myths, and explains why tracking key nutrients can help prevent and manage CKD. Learn how small, intentional changes—like adjusting protein intake and increasing plant-based foods—can make a big impact on long-term kidney health. Key Notes: • Understanding CKD: Why kidney disease is often called the “silent killer” and how it affects overall health. • Top Risk Factors: The role of high blood pressure, diabetes, and diet in kidney disease progression. • The Changing Renal Diet: Debunking outdated advice on potassium and protein intake. • Tracking Kidney Health: How tools like Cronometer's PRAL score help monitor diet acidity and kidney function. • Small but Powerful Changes: Simple diet swaps to reduce strain on the kidneys. • Hydration & Kidney Function: The importance of tracking fluid intake and choosing the right beverages. • Actionable Takeaway: Add one plant-based protein swap to your meals to support kidney health. www.instagram.com/plantpoweredkidneys https://www.plantpoweredkidneys.com/ https://www.facebook.com/plantpoweredkidneys/ www.cronometer.com
Most people think intuitive eating is just eating whatever you want, whenever you want, but that's not it at all.In today's episode, I'm breaking down what intuitive eating actually means, why it's not just about cravings, and how to fuel your body without obsessing over calories or macros.Spoiler: intuitive eating isn't just “listening to your body” with no structure, because let's be real, sometimes your cravings are straight-up lying to you. Instead, we're talking about how to balance mindful eating with real nutrition, so you can feel strong, energized, and satisfied without the guilt or restriction.There are so many myths about intuitive eating, especially on social media, where it's often framed as simply eating whatever sounds good in the moment. But true intuitive eating is about understanding what your body actually needs and making choices that support your energy, strength, and overall well-being. One of the biggest challenges is learning how to tell the difference between real hunger and emotional cravings, because stress, boredom, and hormones can all trick you into thinking you need something when you really don't. I'll also share why I don't count calories or macros, but still pay close attention to one key factor in my diet that makes a huge difference in how I feel and perform. Plus, if you're strength training or trying to build muscle, I'll explain exactly how to apply intuitive eating in a way that fuels your goals without undereating or overindulging.If you've ever felt stuck between “clean eating” and total chaos, this episode is for you.Intuitive eating isn't about ignoring nutrition, it's about making choices that actually make you feel good, now and long-term.I Also Talk About:(05:05) What Intuitive Eating Really Means(13:15) How to Tell the Difference Between Hunger & Cravings(18:34) The One Macro I Always Track(23:10) How Your Menstrual Cycle Affects Your AppetiteThank You to Our Sponsors: Cronometer: Track your nutrition with precision— Cronometer provides real data on macros, micros, and everything in between for better health and performance.

Truth About Supplements: Quality, Transparency, and Essentials for Over 40 Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! Matt O'Connor - Honour Health Supplements www.Honour.health Social Media: @Honour.Health On this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams chats with Matt O'Connor, founder of Honour Health Supplements, about the importance of high-quality supplements, transparency in the supplement industry, and optimizing nutrition for those over 40. Key Highlights: Matt's Journey and Honour Health's Mission: Matt shares his background in health, entrepreneurship, and his passion for creating transparent, high-quality supplements after discovering a lack of trust in existing brands. In Australia, regulations don't require full disclosure of additives in supplements, leading Matt to prioritize clean formulations and transparency in his products. Why Quality Supplements Matter: Differences in supplement quality, such as the bioavailability of ingredients, can significantly impact health outcomes. For example, not all magnesium forms are equally absorbed. Supplements should complement a whole-food diet and address nutritional gaps caused by modern farming practices and aging. Vitamins and Minerals: The Building Blocks: Key nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc are essential for processes like muscle function, sleep, immune support, and hormonal health, especially for individuals over 40. Brad shares his experiences with supplements, emphasizing their role in improving his blood pressure, energy, and overall wellness. Supplement Timing and Absorption: Matt explains how supplement absorption can vary based on timing, form, and combinations. For example, certain minerals compete for absorption, so proper timing and balance are essential. Tips for the Over-40 Crowd: Start with whole foods, assess nutrient needs using tools like Cronometer, and supplement intelligently. Focus on foundational nutrients, particularly those that decline with age, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc.

In this episode of Discovering Nutrition with Cronometer, Eliisa sits down with Will Girling, a renowned performance nutritionist with over a decade of experience fueling elite athletes, including Tour de France riders and Olympic competitors. Together, they dive deep into the science of endurance nutrition, tackling questions like: How do you tailor nutrition plans for optimal performance? Is there a “magic window” for recovery nutrition? Can low-carb diets fuel elite performance? Will shares actionable advice for both elite athletes and weekend warriors, breaking down gut training, sodium loss, carb loading, and the nuances of personalizing nutrition strategies. Whether you're running marathons or just looking to fuel better for life, this episode is packed with tips and insights to help you optimize your results. Key Notes: Pre-Event Nutrition: Start gut training 4–6 weeks before long events and practice pre-event meals to build confidence. During Event Strategies: Tailor carb intake to activity duration (e.g., 90g/hour for long events) and watch for sodium loss signs like salt streaks. Post-Event Recovery: Consume 0.3–0.5g of protein per kg body weight with high-GI carbs post-workout, but prioritize total caloric intake for recovery. Diet Trends: Keto and vegan diets require careful planning; balance and personalization are crucial for performance. Everyday Health Tip: Eat at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables daily (80g per portion). Using Wearables: Use data as a tool, but listen to your body first—don't let recovery scores dictate your performance.

Stunning as it may sound, nearly half of Americans ages 20 years and up – or more than 122 million people – have high blood pressure, according to a 2023 report from the American Heart Association. In this lesson I will share the worst blood pressure advice given to you from your doctor, the real cause of high blood pressure, and easy steps to naturally lower high blood pressure. Most doctors will tell you high blood pressure is a result of a diet high in salt. The belief that salt consumption raises blood pressure is based on bogus science. It originates from French scientists more than 100 years ago, who 'based their findings on just six patients'. Salt, emphasizing its role in maintaining proper hydration, supporting adrenal function, and enhancing nutrient absorption. Salt helps the body balance fluids, regulate nerve and muscle function, and maintain acid-base balance. For people who are active or on low-carb or ketogenic diets, salt intake is even more essential, as they can lose more sodium through sweat and reduced insulin levels. DiNicolantonio explains that salt can also improve blood flow, support cardiovascular health, and reduce cravings for sugar by balancing electrolyte levels. What is the real cause of high blood pressure? High levels and blood glucose and insulin! Eating too many carbohydrates inhibits the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is responsible for vasodilation. When the blood vessels constrict because of the lack of NO, the heart has to work harder. This is what increases blood pressure! How do you measure your blood sugar and insulin levels? Fasting insulin Fasting blood sugars Post prandial glucose CGM KETO MOJO 5 ways to naturally lower high blood pressure. Your first step is to replace insulin producing foods with foods that lower insulin. This will lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels. The second step: Eat the 5 best foods proven by science to lower blood pressure, The third step: eliminate snacking in between meals and practice time restricted feeding. The fourth step: Consider supplementation The fifth step: breath through your nostrils and hum/sing // RESOURCES MENTIONED:
Better Nutrition with Cronometer: My Review On Tracking Micronutrients & Avoiding Calorie Pitfalls Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group Get Your Whoop4.0 Here! In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams reviews Cronometer, a nutrition-tracking app that provides detailed insights into vitamin and mineral intake. Brad explains his interest in the app due to its precise tracking of micronutrients, which makes it easy to identify any nutritional deficiencies. He appreciates how Cronometer allows users to log food, scan barcodes, and review nutrient levels, making it easier to make adjustments either through diet or supplementation. Brad also shares a recurring issue he finds with fitness apps in general: they often overestimate calorie burn. While Cronometer calculates his basal metabolic rate (BMR) around 2,500 calories, his experience with the Whoop 4.0 fitness tracker, which he's used for six months, suggests a more accurate estimate of 2,000-2,100 calories. Brad emphasizes that precise data is essential for anyone over 40 trying to maintain or lose weight. Though he finds Cronometer useful, he believes that long-term tracking may not be necessary for everyone. Instead, a focused month could provide the insight needed to fine-tune nutrition. For comprehensive fitness tracking, Brad still recommends Whoop 4.0, especially for its accuracy in calorie burn and sleep data, and encourages his listeners to explore it as a valuable tool for optimizing their fitness journey as they age.

In this episode of Discovering Nutrition with Cronometer, we sit down with sports dietitian and endurance athlete Kylie Van Horn, founder of Fly Nutrition. Kylie shares her expertise on balancing carbohydrates and fats to optimize energy levels for endurance sports like running, cycling, and triathlons. Together, we debunk common myths around low-carb diets for endurance athletes and discuss how sustainable nutrition impacts athletic performance, recovery, and overall well-being. Kylie also provides practical strategies for fuelling before, during, and after workouts—whether you're training for a marathon, hitting a 5K loop, or preparing for an ultra-endurance event. Tune in to learn how personalized nutrition, including the careful tracking of macros and micronutrients with tools like Cronometer, can elevate your performance and help you feel your best. Key Notes: • Balancing Fat and Carbs: Both carbs and fats are essential for endurance athletes—carbs fuel higher-intensity efforts, while fat supports ultra-endurance events. • Fueling Strategies: Pre, during, and post-workout fueling should focus on easy-to-digest carbs and adequate protein for energy and recovery. • Carbohydrate Loading: Strategic carb loading 1-3 days before races maximizes glycogen stores for peak performance. • Micronutrient Focus: Tracking key micros (like iron and magnesium) helps prevent fatigue and injuries, with Cronometer providing detailed insights. • GI Distress & Food Sensitivities: Monitoring symptoms and adjusting fiber intake can reduce gastrointestinal issues during long workouts. • Mindset & Sustainability: Building sustainable nutrition practices is key to maintaining performance and preventing disordered eating patterns. • Kylie's Practical Tips: Set up personal aid stations, use sports bras or belts for fuel storage, and experiment with biometrics in Cronometer to enhance training.

If you're over 40 and trying to lose weight, make sure you're not making any of these five diet mistakes I'm about to share with you. Making even just one of them could get in the way of you losing fat, and instead cause you to gain weight! I've been working in the weight-loss world for four decades, and I've heard a lot of advice over the years. But some of the strategies you think are healthy are actually getting in the way of reaching your weight-loss goals. You may be tracking your data and avoiding certain foods—but are you tracking the right type of data? And are you making sure you're getting enough of the one macronutrient that will have the biggest impact on your weight and body composition? Tune in and find out the top five mistakes I see people making over and over again, and maybe you'll finally find your stumbling block if you've been doing all of the “right” things to lose weight, but are still struggling to reach your goals.

Welcome to Food, Freedom and Fertility. Today we have Diana Rodgers. She is a dietitian and the author of Sacred Cow. She is an expert on the intersection of nutrition and sustainable agriculture. One thing in her book that she discusses is that there are there are three separate buckets: nutrition, environment, and ethics. They are separate butintricately intertwined. Those buckets are: 1. Nutrition 2. Environment 3. Ethics Diana shares how they chose the bucket topics and how the order was chosen. In her book, Sacred Cow she does a wonderful job explaining it in the most understandable way. You can find her book HERE We have all heard the rumor that “Americans eat too much meat”, well Diana debunks that myth and shares some other shocking numbers with the listeners and she also explains the optimal amount of protein needed and why beef is such a great option. She also explains why meat is so important in fulfilling your micronutrient dietary needs. She likes to use Chronometer to track micronutrients. You can find the Cronometer HERE. Another topic that comes up often is that red meat is considered a carcinogenic. She breaks down the scale of how the rating compares to other daily activities and the percentages so that listeners can make an informed decision on if the value of red meat outweighs the risk. Spoiler alert… Diana, Caitlin and Sophia all agree that red meat has some extremely wonderful prosperities that our bodies need especially when TTC or breastfeeding. Should you spend the extra money on grass fed beef? Today's episode covers this topic from a nutritional perspective and an ethical standpoint. Diana shares her advice on what you should be eating if you are trying to conceive. She recommends fatty fish, eggs, and fatty cuts of meat. 4-6 oz of meat three times per day, or 30 grams of protein per day. Cronometer is important to keep track of your dietary intake.

Question: How do I fix low blood sugar on vegan keto? Short Answer: Consider how important it is for your ketones to be elevated. Most likely you need to eat more protein, which will lower your ketones. I would aim for a minimum of 0.8 grams per kilogram of ideal bodyweight and consider using 1.2 grams per kilogram of ideal bodyweight. If this does not work, consider all of the nutrients involved in energy metabolism — all of the B vitamins, iron, copper, sulfur, magnesium, potassium — but especially biotin and B6 for their disproportionate role in gluconeogenesis. If the protein you need to normalize your blood sugar does reduce your ketones to a level that are not giving you the benefits you are looking for, you could consider raising them with exogenous ketones.

The 2 biggest struggles with Hashimoto's are fatigue and difficulty losing weight. The number one question I get from the ladies with Hashimoto's is what I should eat to lose weight with Hashimoto's. Today I'll share my top five strategies to lose stubborn weight regarding how and when to eat. I don't recommend fad diets, quick fixes, simply smart strategies to implement especially when you are super fatigued and brain foggy from your Hashimoto's.Here's my top 5 recommendations:A caloric restriction is requiredPrioritize your protein intake.Cut out snacking and mindless eating.Check for DehydrationCheck Gut health-Parasites, candida, SIBO, Hy PyloriQuotes:"The body will eat and eat and eat until it hits its protein requirements.""If you're already stressed in other areas of your life, like you're not sleeping well, you have sleep apnea, you have diabetes, that's uncontrolled. You're not working out, you're not walking, you're not resistance training. A caloric restriction might add an extra stressor.""I used to be a big grazer and kind of eat all day long, and I think part of it was because I wasn't hitting my protein, I just continued to eat some carbs and fat until my body did feel satiated by hitting that protein. But I was grazing all day. I was never giving my digestion a break."If you're interested the "How to lose weight with Hashimoto's" join here: dremilykiberd.com/weightlossWhat gets measured gets managed, I love Cronometer to track my protein intake.
