8. Challenging Nutrition Pseudoscience is a Full Time Job ft. Andy Miller May 22, 2023

Show notes

RD Andy Miller joins me to discuss the changing landscape of dietetics as it pumps up against social media and its slew of misinformation. We discuss the backlash we face when speaking out against bad actors, and the incalculable damage the likes of Bobby Parrish, Mark Hyman and Jason Fung have on the public's understanding of health and nutrition. We unpack the insidious trend of wellness advocates putting their children on diets under the guise of "healthy eating" and "portion control education", and how scientists misappropriate animal studies to launch unfounded attacks on accessible foods.

Thanks for listening! Please leave a review. Your ratings and reviews help get the podcast in front of new listeners. Your feedback also lets me know how I can better serve you. I'd love to know what you enjoy about the show, and to have the opportunity to shout you out on an episode.

7. Why I Want You To Eat Processed Foods May 15, 2023

Show notes

You heard me. I want you to eat processed foods! Not necessarily more than other foods, nor as an overrepresentation of your diet, but in the ways you find convenient, balanced, joyful and practical. Because the truth is that most foods are processed, including nutrient dense foods like canned beans, vegetables, tofu and unsweetened yoghurt. In this solo episode I break down the Nova classification system that is responsible for classing foods as "processed" and "ultra-processed". I explain its limitations and how the classifications are problematic. I illustrate why the foods under these classifications aren't inherently unhealthy and why they should not be demonized. I outline how many nova-classified foods are actually health promoting, and that ultimately, our diets are greatly impacted by social determinants of health. Ultimately, your diet should support the life that you want for yourself, and joy, culture, convenience and celebration through food is a large part of that.

Show notes

Another day another diet MLM. In today's episode former Beachbody coach and now anti-MLM educator, Amber Ny, joins me to discuss the nefarious tactics Beachbody uses to recruit members and how it gaslights them into staying. We discuss how its marketing promotes unhealthy, monolithic body standards and how they peddle questionable nutrition supplements to the public. We also look at just how far diet culture coaches will go by examining how they food shame and encourage disordered behaviors in their children for social media clout. Listen to this episode if you've been tempted to join a diet MLM or to buy their programs and products, and send this to a friend who will benefit from knowing the rotten truth behind the glossy veneer of Beachbody and other diet MLMs

4. All Foods Fit ft. Ke'alohi Naipo Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

The world of dietetics needs change and Hawaiian dietitian Ke'alohi Naipo is at the forefront of this movement. Ke'alohi is a weight inclusive, HAES aligned, Registered Dietitian who specializes in disordered eating. She champions food acceptance, intuitive eating, and embraces local foods as nutritious and valid food sources. This is especially powerful in the westernized food landscape that dismisses and demonizes foods that are native to nonwhite cultures. In today's episode Ke'alohi takes us on a journey through Hawaiian food history: we unpack the effects of colonialism on Hawaii's food market, the importance of preserving food traditions, and how dietitians can become more inclusive in their practices.

3. Removing Morality and Hierarchy from Food ft. Maya Feller Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Today I'm joined by the wonderful RD Maya Feller to discuss the nuances of nutrition. We talk food deserts, social determinants of health, dethroning BMI, food apartheid, and the implicit bias and racism in dietetics. We also discuss at length the importance of removing morality and hierarchy from certain food groups, and particularly from cultural foods. We emphasize the important link between food and culture, community and personal identity, and insist on embracing that food is more than just fuel; its culture, history, community and joy.

Show notes

There isn't a person or family unaffected by cancer. The dreaded disease doesn't discriminate, but there are some cancer-promoting behaviors one can avoid. This is why the desire for knowledge about how diet can contribute to or prevent cancer, is so high. As we know by now, with a public appetite for health, comes misinformation. On this episode I am joined by Dr. Joe Zundell, who is a cancer researcher and scientist. Dr. Joe Zundell is a Ph.D scientist with 10 years of experience in cell and molecular biology techniques. He is passionate about simplifying cancer biology for the public and combating cancer misinformation. We discuss what cancer is, how it grows, and debunk some cancer nutrition myths.

On this episode, my guest Dr. Joe Zundell talks all things cancer and nutrition - what's proven, distinguishing correlation vs. causation of cancers with certain foods, and addresses the link between clinical obesity and cancer. We cover exacerbating nutritional factors and address myths and misinformation around diet and cancer.
