The Good News About Bread and Your Diet Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

People are often surprised that, as a registered dietitian, I incorporate bread as a regular part of my lifestyle. Some are delighted while others are, well, let’s just say… a bit judgmental. After all, bread tends to get a really bad rap. But, there’s little need for such bread angst; bread – in some shape or fashion – can practically fit into any diet. That said, there is a tremendous amount of variation among breads in terms of quality and ingredients. It’s not as simple as comparing one loaf to another. This week on FUELED, I share a rundown of the most popular types of bread and which diets they are best suited for.

Are You Drinking the Right Type of Milk? Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

Cow’s milk has ample competition these days, surrounded by an ever-growing array of “milks” made from almonds, cashews, peas, oats, hemp and other ingredients. Choosing a plant-based milk alternative may make us feel like we’re doing something good for our body, but are they really any better for us? The answer is complicated and one I’m delving into this week on FUELED. From nutritional stats to ingredient lists, I give a rundown on what you need to know about the most common types of both cow’s milk and plant-based milks on store shelves – and how to choose the right one for you.

The Problem with Plastics Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

Microplastics are everywhere - extending far beyond our plastic water bottles, straws and ziplocs. They’re in our clothes, our water, our bodies - and even our children’s bodies. Not good, since plastics are linked to cancer, infertility, global warming and more.
Dr. Sherri Mason, professor of chemistry and leading researcher in plastic pollution, shares her insight and strategies for effortlessly reducing our reliance on plastics, one small step at a time. I love her approach for many reasons, including the fact that she’s not an alarmist. In her words, she’s not anti-plastic, simply ‘anti-stupid-plastic’.

Top 5 Overhyped Foods (+ 5 that Deserve Your Attention) May 13, 2021

Show notes

Every now and then, a certain "health food" will catch fire. You've seen them all over social media, plastered on magazine covers and seemingly just about everyone is singing their praises.

Sports Drinks: Top Picks for Electrolyte-Rich Hydration May 06, 2021

Show notes

So here’s the deal: Sports drinks aren’t always our best option for hydration, even when we’re exercising. And traditional sports drinks are loaded with sugar and artificial food dyes. But staying well-hydrated is essential, so this week on FUELED, I’m sharing the rundown on my top picks - and what to steer clear of - when it comes to fueling performance and optimizing hydration.

This is the case in this rather unique episode of FUELED, an impromptu interview in which 9-year-old Josh Bertram flips the script, asking me his top questions about wellness and other things that kids are curious about.
