Podcasts about nutrition myths

Discover the truth behind nutrition myths, intuitive eating, whole foods, sugar cravings, and simple strategies for healthier, sustainable eating. Carrots are bad. Avocados are bad. Don't eat egg yolks. Eat every two hours. Go gluten free. Detox with tea. As long as you stay under your calories, you're fine. Every single one of those is wrong. And Dr. Terri and Elizabeth DiMeo are done watching people make themselves miserable following food advice from people who have no business giving it. In this episode they go myth by myth through the top ten dietary rules that need to be retired — and replace each one with what the science actually says. From why a calorie is absolutely not a calorie, to why your gluten sensitivity may disappear entirely when you travel to Italy, to why organic crackers are still just crackers — this is the food conversation your patients, your family, and your social media feed desperately need. They close with a practical breakdown of the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 — the Environmental Working Group's ranked list of which produce you should always buy organic and which ones you don't need to worry about — plus a simple baking soda and vinegar wash that removes pesticide residue from non-organic produce when organic isn't in the budget. Simple. Practical. No nonsense. This is what intuitive eating actually means. What you'll discover: Why a 230-calorie Snickers bar and a 230-calorie serving of broccoli are not remotely the same thing — and what "food is communication" actually means [03:20] Why fat doesn't make you fat — and what actually does [06:01] The difference between starchy and non-starchy carbohydrates — and why broccoli, arugula, and artichokes are all technically carbs [08:22] Why gluten sensitivity in the US may have nothing to do with gluten — and everything to do with glyphosate and hybridized wheat [13:36] Why skipping meals slows your metabolism — and what your body actually needs to detox every single day [17:45] The myth of eating every two to three hours — and what 100 years of human eating patterns tell us about snacking [19:59] Why organic automatically means healthy is one of the most dangerous myths in the grocery store [25:16] Why all inflammation does not come from food — and the overlooked sources most people never address [25:43] The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15: which produce to always buy organic, which ones you don't need to, and the $0 baking soda wash that removes pesticide residue [27:32] Real food. Not too much. Mostly plants. The rest is noise. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.Learn more and find a provider near you at evexias.com Connect with Dr. Terri:

Are your health habits helping you live better, or are they quietly making your life more complicated? We are surrounded by nutrition rules, supplement stacks, protein targets, fasting windows, wearables, weight-loss drugs, and viral claims about foods we have been eating for decades. A banana in your smoothie is suddenly a problem. Every snack needs added protein. Everyone thinks they need electrolytes. People lose weight quickly without thinking about the muscle they may be losing with it. And in the process of trying to become healthier, many people become afraid to eat, travel, miss a workout, or enjoy their lives. This matters because better health rarely comes from obsessing over every minor detail. It comes from building muscle, eating enough whole foods, understanding your own habits, and creating a routine you can return to after an imperfect week. Strength training can improve your metabolism, mobility, confidence, and discipline. Nutrition should support your life. Data should help you make decisions. And a healthy routine should give you more freedom, not turn you into a prisoner of your own wellness protocol. Dr. Joey Munoz is a nutrition expert, coach, and the founder of Stronger Standard. He has a PhD in nutrition and focuses on evidence-based fat loss, muscle building, sustainable habits, and helping people cut through nutrition misinformation. His work combines nutrition science, strength training, behavioral psychology, and practical coaching to help people improve their health without relying on extreme diets or constantly chasing the latest trend.   What's Discussed: (02:47) Why viral nutrition claims about bananas and smoothies create unnecessary fear and confusion. (08:31) When healthy eating, perfect routines, and longevity protocols begin damaging your quality of life. (13:13) How rapid weight loss on GLP-1 medications can increase muscle loss without strength training and adequate nutrition. (22:22) Why intermittent fasting is overrated as a unique fat-loss or autophagy strategy. (28:07) The simple foundations of a healthy diet and why eliminating entire food groups is usually unnecessary. (34:08) Why protein has become overmarketed and how much you may actually need. (38:48) How to return to your routine after travel or overeating without punishment, restriction, or giving up. (50:13) Why the carnivore diet and fear of "plant toxins" ignore dose, context, and how the body adapts to stress. (53:40) Which popular supplements may be wasting your money, including greens powders, hydration products, BCAAs, and expensive forms of creatine. (01:05:09) How muscle supports blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, body composition, and long-term independence. (01:07:46) Why proper strength training can improve mobility when you prioritize control and range of motion over heavier weight. (01:11:16) How strength training builds discipline, confidence, consistency, and skills that transfer into every part of life.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

In this lively DocTales with Cocktails episode, Dr. May Hindmarsh and Tim Hindmarsh tackle the headlines surrounding a recent Cyclospora outbreak linked to fresh produce—and separate legitimate concerns from media-driven fear. The conversation dives into foodborne parasites, dehydration, gut health, and why not every alarming headline deserves a panic response. They also explore whether cooking vegetables may offer digestive advantages, discuss emerging research on curcumin as a potential therapy, and share practical advice on when gastrointestinal illness actually warrants medical attention. Of course, it wouldn't be BS Free MD without plenty of humor. The episode veers into bizarre consumer products, questionable inventions, and finishes with one of Tim's signature rants that has to be heard to be believed. In This Episode The recent Cyclospora outbreak and what's actually happening How common these infections really are—and why perspective matters Symptoms of parasitic gastrointestinal infections Dehydration: when to stay home and when to seek medical care Standard treatments versus emerging research on curcumin Raw vs. cooked vegetables and gut health discussions Food safety myths, salad bars, and produce handling Tim's latest "product we'll never own" A cocktail recommendation from Deep Eddy Vodka Key Takeaways Headlines don't always reflect actual risk. Most gastrointestinal infections resolve with supportive care and hydration. Severe dehydration, bloody stools, or worsening abdominal pain require prompt medical evaluation. Proper food handling and preparation remain important, but panic rarely is. Medical conversations are better served with context than fear.

This episode explores how cattle producers can make informed decisions when considering new technologies, products, or services for their operations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of evaluating both costs and benefits, including upfront expenses, recurring fees, labor savings, and potential productivity gains. Producers are encouraged to use tools such as partial budgets and spreadsheet-based “what-if” analyses to determine whether a technology is likely to provide a positive return in their specific operation. The hosts also stress that research results from other operations may not always translate directly to a producer's own environment, making careful evaluation and limited on-farm testing valuable when possible. Examples such as virtual fencing, electronic identification systems, and feed additives illustrate the challenges of assigning economic value to both direct and indirect benefits. In the second half of the episode, the team tackles several common nutrition myths. They explain that while lush green grass often supplies adequate energy and protein, mineral supplementation may still be necessary depending on soil and forage conditions. They also note that mineral consumption is often driven more by salt intake than by a specific mineral deficiency. Discussion of creep feeding reveals that calves frequently substitute supplemental feed for forage rather than reducing milk consumption, making the economics highly situation-dependent. Finally, the hosts clarify that overfeeding replacement heifers can contribute to calving difficulty if they become excessively fat, but moderate increases in nutrition have relatively little effect on calf birth weight. Overall, the episode encourages producers to rely on careful analysis and evidence rather than assumptions when making management decisions.

The word detox sells quickly in the wellness world, and zeolite has become one of the latest products riding that wave. Marketed as a mineral that can trap toxins and support whole body health, it sounds like the ultimate shortcut to feeling better.

Send us Fan MailWhat if I told you that your protein bar, your “clean” skincare, your microbiome test, and half the wellness advice clogging your feed are built on marketing first and evidence second?Yeah. This episode got spicy.I sat down with Timothy Caulfield, bestselling author and expert on health misinformation, to talk about why science is simultaneously one of our best tools and one of the easiest things to manipulate. We got into everything from predatory scientific journals to why putting the word “protein” on a candy bar suddenly makes us think it's health food. We talked about microbiome mania, gluten-free panic, hormone obsession, supplements, clean beauty, and why marketers love complicated science words that most of us don't fully understand.Tim explains how “scienceploitation” works. Basically, researchers hype findings because academia rewards attention, media rewards sensationalism, and companies swoop in to sell us products wrapped in scientific language. The result? We're all walking around terrified of toxins, buying personalized wellness plans, and wondering if we need a stem cell smoothie or a sleep tracker to survive adulthood.We also talked about why this stuff feels so personal. Once we build an identity around a health belief, questioning it can feel like a personal attack. And honestly? I saw myself in that conversation more than once.One of my favorite parts was Tim's reminder that health is mostly boring. It's movement, sleep, relationships, whole foods, not smoking, not drinking too much, and doing things you actually enjoy. No magic peptide. No expensive optimization stack. No wellness guru whispering secrets from a cold plunge.This conversation made me think a lot about fear, certainty, and how badly we all want a shortcut. And honestly, it reminded me that being informed is important, but being obsessed is exhausting.What's Inside:Why marketers love words like “microbiome,” “toxins,” and “clean”How science hype and predatory journals confuse the publicThe truth about gluten-free diets, protein products, and personalized wellnessWhy real health is usually simple, unsexy, and not sold in a supplement aisleIf this episode taught me anything, it's that critical thinking is a form of self-care. You do not need to optimize every molecule in your body to be healthy. So, tell me, what wellness trend have you totally fallen for at some point?

What should endurance athletes actually eat before training? Does fasted training improve adaptation? And why do some athletes thrive on high carbohydrate intake while others perform better with less?In this episode, Dr Jeff Rothschild joins the podcast to unpack the complexity behind endurance nutrition, recovery, and training adaptation. Drawing from his work as a sports dietitian, researcher, and performance analyst, Jeff shares insights from years of research exploring carbohydrate practices, fasted training, substrate utilization, and individual variability in athlete response.The conversation explores why high intensity sessions may not require fasted training to stimulate adaptation, how recovery responses differ dramatically between athletes, and why generalized nutrition guidelines often fail to capture individual needs.Jeff also discusses the growing role of data science, machine learning, and longitudinal athlete monitoring in understanding recovery and fueling strategies, along with the practical realities of applying nutrition science in elite sport.This episode offers a balanced and highly practical discussion on endurance nutrition, helping athletes and coaches better understand how to fuel training without getting lost in dogma or extremes.Today's speakers:Prof Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/Dr Jeff Rothschild https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-rothschild-phd-016170146/https://www.eatsleep.fit/

In this special on-base talk, Vinny Russo sits down with the soldiers of the 328th Field Hospital stationed at Fort Douglas, Utah, to cut through the noise on military nutrition. No fluff. No miracle supplements. No "eat clean" lectures. Just the real foundations that drive performance — and the marketing myths that have been costing service members results for years. This isn't theory. It's the same framework Vinny uses with pro athletes, executives, and operators who *have* to show up ready, every single day. What started as a one-hour talk turned into the longest Q&A Vinny has ever been a part of — soldiers brought every question from cutting weight for tape, to MRE strategy in the field, to late-night cravings on shift work, and Vinny answered all of it. **Inside this episode:** → The 5 nutrition foundations that decide 95% of your results → Why every popular diet "works" for the exact same boring reason → How much protein you actually need (most service members miss it by 50+ grams) → The hydration math behind reaction time, decision-making, and endurance → 6 nutrition myths Vinny shuts down with the actual research — carbs, late eating, detoxes, gluten, fruit, artificial sweeteners → How to build a winning plate in any DFAC using the Go for Green system → MRE do's and don'ts — when to eat the whole thing, when to ration, and the mistake that crashes you 90 minutes later → Why sleep is a nutrition issue (and what it does to your hunger hormones) → The longest live Q&A Vinny has ever done — real questions from real soldiers If you're active duty, prior service, a first responder, or just someone whose performance matters — this one's for you.

Cleanses used to sound like a fresh start. Eating perfectly organic used to feel like doing it “right.” And generic meal plans used to seem like the answer.After nearly 30 years in nutrition and cooking, I'm sharing a truth that might feel a little uncomfortable: a lot of popular wellness advice is not helping midlife women—it's leaving them underfed, overwhelmed, and convinced they're the problem, when the strategy is the problem.In this episode, we break down the detox cleanse myth and why your body already has built-in systems doing that work every day. I also share why I moved away from “just tell me what to eat” meal plans and toward teaching real-life meal building—so you can look at your plate and know it works for your body, your preferences, and your actual schedule.We also talk about calories and weight loss through a more complete midlife lens, including what the conversation around GLP-1 medications is revealing—and why sleep, stress, hormones, and muscle all matter if you want results that actually last.From there, we get into fitness and metabolism in menopause: why cardio alone isn't enough anymore, and how strength training supports bone health, stability, confidence, and a stronger metabolism as you age.I also share my updated perspective on organic vs. non-organic food, and why perfection can quietly become a barrier to eating enough fruits, vegetables, and truly nourishing yourself consistently.We wrap up with the principles I come back to again and again: simple cooking, growing what you can, paying attention to hunger, and practicing real self-compassion.If this episode helped you take a breath and rethink things a little, make sure you're subscribed, share it with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a quick review so more women can find Real Food Stories.And I'd love to know—what's one nutrition rule you're ready to let go of?I would love to hear from you!

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Ever wondered if your favorite "healthy" grocery items are actually designed to keep you sick and coming back for more?   I pulled together a series of highlights from previous conversations to expose some of these industry secrets. I revisit the talk with Lance Watson, who is a bodybuilder. He explains why pills fail and how athletes feel when they look like steel. Anna Vocino joins to discuss stores. She exposes fraud in oil and chemicals in spices. She describes how companies use math to hide sugar on labels. I also dive into the history of the food pyramid. I trace roots to a church and explain how the department used guidelines to sell grain. This compilation provides tools to ignore marketing and reclaim health   Key Takeaways The "Easy Button" is a Myth: Magic pills and trendy supplements like SARMs are mostly hype; real results come from the basics and consistency. The Reality of Shredded Steel: When athletes look their best on a magazine cover, they usually feel their absolute worst physically. Olive Oil Fraud: Many big-brand olive oils are cut with up to 40% cheap seed oils or "lamp oil" and colored with chlorophyll to deceive consumers. Hidden Manufacturing Agents: Manufacturers use "slip agents" and anti-caking chemicals to keep machinery running, often without disclosing them on the label. "Nut Facts" Trickery: Labeling laws allow a margin of error that lets companies hide added sugars, such as grape concentrate or turbinado sugar, under the guise of "zero grams". The Food Pyramid Scam: National dietary guidelines were heavily influenced by the religious beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the need to clear massive grain surpluses.   Resources Book: Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Mueller.

What happens when nutrition advice becomes loud, simplified, and everywhere you turn? In this episode, Dr. Marianne welcomes back Kathleen Meehan, RD (@therdnutritionist), an anti-diet, fat-positive dietitian, to unpack the current wave of nutrition myths shaping how people think about food, health, and eating disorder recovery. From protein obsession to processed food panic, this conversation brings nuance back into a space that often lacks it. The Rise of Protein Obsession in Diet Culture Protein is everywhere right now. Social media, food marketing, and even medical guidance are emphasizing high-protein intake as the key to health. Kathleen explains that while protein is important, the current messaging lacks context and balance. This trend often leads to the quiet demonization of carbohydrates and reinforces rigid food rules. It is especially visible in conversations around GLP-1 medications, where protein is framed as a solution for muscle preservation without acknowledging that overall nourishment matters more. Protein cannot compensate for not eating enough. A balanced, consistent pattern of eating is what supports both physical and mental well-being. How Nutrition Messaging Fuels Disordered Eating Many people enter eating disorder recovery already carrying fear and guilt around food. Kathleen highlights how even well-meaning nutrition advice can contribute to disordered eating when it is oversimplified. Messages about avoiding certain foods or “doing it right” can increase anxiety and disconnect people from their internal cues. Over time, this reinforces the belief that food must be controlled, measured, or optimized to be acceptable. Recovery often requires moving away from rigid rules and toward flexibility, trust, and consistency. The Pressure to Optimize Food and Health Wellness culture increasingly encourages people to track and fine-tune every aspect of their health. From wearable devices to food tracking, there is pressure to optimize eating, sleep, and metabolism. This level of monitoring can create stress and a false sense of control. Kathleen emphasizes that focusing on the big picture is often more helpful than micromanaging details. A sustainable relationship with food does not require constant measurement. Zooming out allows for a more realistic and supportive approach to health. Processed Foods and Eating Disorder Recovery Processed foods are often framed as harmful, but this conversation challenges that narrative. Kathleen emphasizes that processed foods are essential for accessibility, convenience, and consistency. For many people, including those with ARFID, processed foods may be the most reliable or tolerable options. Removing them can reduce intake and increase distress. In eating disorder recovery, having access to preferred foods is often more important than striving for an idealized version of eating. Processed foods can support nourishment, especially when life is busy, resources are limited, or sensory needs are present. Food Access, SNAP, and Nutrition Myths Food choices are shaped by access, time, and resources. Kathleen and Dr. Marianne discuss how public conversations about SNAP benefits and food choices often ignore these realities. Shelf-stable and convenient foods can be essential for individuals and families managing work demands, limited access to fresh foods, or financial constraints. Judging food choices without considering these factors oversimplifies complex realities. Nutrition cannot be separated from social context. A broader view of health includes access, stress, and systemic factors. ARFID, Sensory Needs, and Flexible Eating For individuals with ARFID, expanding food options requires safety and flexibility. Kathleen emphasizes that access to preferred foods supports both nourishment and emotional well-being. Pressuring people to eat in a certain way, especially under rigid “clean eating” expectations, can increase distress and reduce intake. Lowering pressure and supporting consistency helps create a more sustainable relationship with food. This approach is especially important for neurodivergent individuals and those navigating sensory sensitivities. A More Nuanced Approach to Nutrition This episode returns to a central theme: nutrition is not meant to be rigid or perfect. Instead of focusing on exact numbers or rules, a more supportive approach asks whether you are eating enough, including a variety of foods, and meeting your needs over time. If nutrition advice feels extreme or overwhelming, it may not be helpful. A flexible, big-picture approach supports eating disorder recovery far more than rigid guidelines.

Most cancer survivors, and even those without a family history, get bombarded with confusing and often misleading nutrition advice. What if you could cut through the noise and focus only on what's truly backed by strong human data—without guilt or fear? Nicole Andrews, a registered dietitian and oncology nutrition specialist, reveals the misconceptions that are steering many wrong when it comes to cancer risk and long-term health. In this eye-opening episode, Nicole debunks popular myths like the idea that diet sodas cause cancer or that organic produce is inherently healthier. She explains why many "healthy" labels are marketing tricks and emphasizes that conventional fruits and vegetables offer the same protective benefits—at a fraction of the cost. You'll discover how artificial sweeteners have been studied for over four decades and are safe in moderation, and why your focus should be on evidence-based food choices rather than fearmongering. We break down the key lifestyle habits that genuinely reduce cancer risk: increasing fiber intake, engaging in regular physical activity, moderating alcohol consumption, and focusing on balanced nutrition rather than supplement overload. Nicole shares simple, practical steps for women in midlife—whether you're post-treatment or simply aiming to stay resilient—highlighting that small, consistent actions can massively lower recurrence chances.  You can find our more about Nichole Andrews on her website: https://theoncologydietitian.mykajabi.com/link-in-bio   Follow Erin and Elizabeth on social media: TikTok account: https://www.tiktok.com/@estrogen.dropouts?_t=ZT-8wTKvGNOQv5&_r=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/estrogendropouts?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EstrogenDropouts

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Dunkin's Protein Drinks. Dunkin' has officially jumped on the protein bandwagon and is rolling out a new line of protein drinks that have everyone asking: Are these actually a good source of protein? Jenn went straight to the source, visiting multiple Dunkin' locations, digging into the nutrition facts PDF, and asking the questions most of us never think to ask. What she found might surprise you. On the one hand, Dunkin' uses a real, recognizable dairy-based milk with a clean ingredient list and no added sweeteners or emulsifiers. On the other hand, the protein count may not be quite what the marketing suggests. Jenn also addresses the ingredients that go into your cup beyond that protein milk so that you can decide for yourself if this is a smart, satisfying option or just another trend wrapped in clever branding.

Ever feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice? One influencer swears by seed oils while another demonizes them. Your feed is flooded with "80 grams of protein" meal challenges, and you're left wondering: what should I actually believe?In this episode, I sit down with Colleen Christensen, registered dietitian, recovering perfectionist, and the compassionate voice behind the wildly popular @No.Food.Rules Instagram account. Colleen shares her personal journey from competitive dietetics student to her struggle with eating disorders, and ultimately to becoming one of the leading voices helping people unlearn decades of diet culture programming.This conversation is a masterclass in cutting through nutrition misinformation. Colleen breaks down why seed oils have become the internet's latest villain, what's really happening with the protein obsession, and why authority bias keeps us trusting the wrong "experts." But more importantly, she shares the one thing that changed everything for her recovery: learning to experiment with food instead of following rigid rules.In this episode, you'll learn:Why reading the headline isn't enough, and how to actually evaluate nutrition studiesThe two biggest nutrition myths getting in the way of normal eating right nowHow to become your own best experiment (and why that's more powerful than any meal plan)Why the education piece matters just as much as the inspirationWhat it really means to find joy in midlife eating, beyond just saying "all foods fit"Connect with Colleen:Instagram: @NoFoodRulesRelated Episodes You'll Love:EP #137: 5 Tips for Spotting Nutrition Misinformation with Dr. Emma BeckettEP #138: 5 Things I Wish I Had Known About Intuitive Eating 10 Years AgoEP #123: You Are More Than What You Eat with Dr. Emma BeckettWhat did you think of this episode?

Carbohydrates are often blamed, feared, or oversimplified, especially after breast cancer. In this episode, Laura continues her Nutrition Myths and Truths series with an evidence-based conversation about carbohydrates. This is not about food rules. It is about understanding how carbohydrates function in the body, how they interact with metabolism, inflammation, and genetics, and what lab markers can tell us about individual response. If you missed part one of this series on red meat and understanding scientific studies, that episode provides helpful context for today's discussion. Episode highlights: Carbohydrates include vegetables, fruits, and legumes, not just bread and sugar Why blood sugar numbers alone do not reflect metabolic health How refined carbohydrates influence inflammation and gut health What research suggests about carbohydrates and cancer Why genetics and SNPs affect carbohydrate tolerance The role of insulin, triglycerides, and inflammation markers Whether grains are nutritionally essential   Let's Connect!

Sometimes the healthiest choice isn't the prettiest one — and in this candid conversation, Dr. Hazan flips conventional wellness advice on its head.In this re-released episode of BS Free MD, Dr. Hazan joins the show to break down why food quality matters more than food perfection, how shame and diet culture derail people's health journeys, and why living well doesn't come from restriction — it comes from sustainable habits grounded in science and compassion.Whether you're tired of fad diets or simply want a more balanced view of food, this episode brings clarity, humor, and evidence-based insight to a topic most of us wrestle with every day.

Ever feel like every label screams for your attention while every headline tells you to fear your food? We take a clear-eyed look at the most persistent nutrition myths and boil them down to what actually matters day to day: food quality, sustainable calories, and choices you can live with. From the carb panic to the low-fat hangover, we separate highly processed pitfalls from the one-ingredient staples that keep you full, fueled, and moving well.We dig into why “calories in, calories out” is true but incomplete, how going too low can stall fat loss, and when increasing calories restores energy and results. You'll hear practical frameworks for spotting clean carbs, choosing healthy fats without fear, and understanding that late-night eating isn't the enemy—ultra-processed snacking is. We also pull back the curtain on detoxes and cleanses, explaining how your liver and kidneys already do the job better than any juice, and why water, fiber, sleep, and movement are the real reset.Supplements and protein shakes get an honest audit—useful as gap-fillers, not replacements. We share tips for reading packaging beyond buzzwords like keto-friendly, gluten-free, and high protein, so you can shop with intent rather than impulse. Most of all, we underscore that there's no one-size-fits-all magic plan. Your best approach matches your tastes, schedule, activity, and goals, and it evolves as you do.If you're ready to replace hype with habits and build a plate that works in real life, hit play, subscribe for more myth-busting conversations, and leave a review with the myth you're letting go next.https://aarondegler.com/

What happens when a breakout college breakaway roper can't turn pro and has to get a "big girl job"? She accidentally becomes one of the country's leading equine nutritionists. Dr. Jyme Nichols (Bluebonnet Feeds) pulls back the curtain on her unlikely journey from the Sandhills of Nebraska and Montana State rodeo to earning a PhD and revolutionizing performance horse feeding. In this myth-busting conversation with The Converse Cowboy, she explains why protein percentage is the LAST thing she looks at on a feed tag, how horses can get type-2 diabetes just like humans, why supplements aren't always the enemy (and when they definitely are), and the real reason 3-year-old futurity horses fall apart under stress. From leaky gut and the gut-brain axis to why forage testing is "insurance" and how plasma actually works, Dr. Jyme delivers science in plain English for every horse owner tired of fads and old wives' tales. If you've ever wondered what actually moves the needle for your horse's health and performance, this episode is feed-room gold. Enjoy the show!  This episode is brought to you by Kimes Ranch, Kerry Kelley Bits and Spurs along with Bluebonnet Feeds. 

Holiday tables shouldn't feel like courtrooms. We unpack the most persistent nutrition myths that spike stress this season and replace them with simple, science-backed habits that honor both your health and your traditions. From “saving calories” to post-party detox fads, we explain why extremes fail, how metabolism actually adapts, and what gentle, consistent choices make a real difference.We start by reframing food as value-neutral and spotlighting the real nutrition in classic dishes like stuffing, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Then we get practical: how to avoid the ravenous pre-dinner trap, build a plate you'll savor, and use mindful eating to recognize satisfaction before discomfort. We also challenge the idea that one day can derail your goals, showing how long-term patterns matter far more than a single meal—and why stress and shame often do more damage than dessert.You'll hear candid takes on “healthy swaps” that miss the mark, plus smarter tweaks that keep flavor front and center. We break down metabolism myths, the truth about holiday weight changes, and how to manage late events without blood sugar crashes. We share language for setting kind boundaries with food pushers, realistic hosting tips that add color and protein to the table, and an alcohol game plan that prioritizes hydration, pacing, and enjoyment. Finally, we address emotional eating with compassion and tools that help you meet deeper needs without turning food into a battleground.If this conversation helps you breathe easier around holiday food, share it with a friend who needs relief from diet noise.

Some of you were curious, some were skeptical, and honestly? I love that. Because that's exactly why I asked Kim to come back.In this follow-up conversation, Kim answers your most pressing questions with science-backed honesty. We're diving deep into the topics that sparked the most conversation: seed oils, parasite cleanses, food sensitivities versus allergies, and what to do when you're genuinely struggling with food addiction or binge eating.What I appreciate most about Kim is that she doesn't tell you what to think but she explains the why behind it. She's a friend, but more importantly, she's someone who stands behind what she says with research, experience, and a genuine desire to help people heal their relationship with food and their bodies.Connect with Kim Shapira:Website: https://www.kimshapiramethod.com/Book: This Is What You're Really Hungry ForInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimshapiramethod/Resources mentioned:EverlyWell food sensitivity testingConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

"Organic produce isn't necessarily not sprayed with pesticides. There's different types of pesticides. They just aren't allowed to use synthetic pesticides. Sometimes they can be even more toxic. Sometimes they have to use larger amounts because they're less effective especially given the cost difference between organic and non-organic, I don't see that it's really warranted for something" - Dr. Matthew Nagra Many people still believe that what they eat, how they live, their experiences, and even who they share their life with has no impact on their physical health.

In your 30s, everything changes, and your fitness plan should too. In this episode of The Neuro Experience, I sit down with Sam Christine, mom of two, marathoner, macro coach, and creator of the EMPWR app, to unpack what actually works for women when fat loss stalls, hormones crash, and burnout creeps in. After pushing her body too far during marathon training, Sam lost her period for 13 months. The cause? Undereating, overstressing, and overtraining, all while juggling career, motherhood, and a crumbling marriage. Now, she's helping thousands of women rebuild their health from the inside out. About Sam: Samantha Christine is a nutritionist, certified trainer, and founder of EMPWR by Sam—a fitness app helping women train smarter, fuel better, and build lasting strength. As a mom of two, she makes fitness realistic and sustainable through workouts, recipes, and mindset shifts that empower women to feel strong and confident.

Dr. Matthew Nagra is a Vancouver-based naturopathic doctor and nutrition researcher who tackles misinformation around diet and nutrition on social media. This conversation dismantles nutrition's most malevolent misconceptions—from seed oil hysteria to carnivore evangelism. We explore how tribal allegiances have replaced science, why plant proteins aren't inferior, and the rise of LDL denialism. Matt systematically debunks myths while exposing the cherry-picked studies fueling dietary tribalism. In doing so, he shows us how to distinguish between legitimate research and algorithmic propaganda. Matt is a myth-busting extraordinaire. This exchange cuts straight through the noise. Enjoy!
