    Nutrition Diva

    Nutrition advice has never been easier to find. Knowing which advice you can trust has never been harder.

    Every day brings another headline, social media trend, or viral nutrition claim telling you what to eat, what to avoid, or which supplement will change your life. Much of it sounds convincing. Much of it isn’t supported by the evidence.

    Nutrition Diva helps you separate nutrition science from nutrition myths so you can make confident decisions about your health.

    Each week, Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN, translates evidence-based nutrition into plain English, breaking down the latest research and explaining what it really means for your everyday life. Instead of sensational headlines and fad diets, you’ll get practical nutrition guidance you can understand—and use.

    Whether you’re trying to build healthier eating habits, lose weight, improve metabolic health, support healthy aging, or reduce your risk of chronic disease, every episode helps you make smarter nutrition decisions with confidence.

    Topics include healthy eating, balanced diets, gut health, probiotics, supplements, vitamins, weight management, intermittent fasting, Mediterranean and high-protein diets, food labels, processed foods, cholesterol, inflammation, diabetes prevention, heart health, longevity, and the latest nutrition research.

    You’ll also hear Monica break down popular wellness trends, explain emerging nutrition science, evaluate supplement claims, and separate food myths from nutrition facts so you can spend less time wondering who to believe and more time building healthy habits that last.

    Regular features include listener questions, myth busting, fact vs. fad, and expert interviews exploring the science behind the nutrition questions people ask most.

    If you’re looking for nutrition science you can trust—and practical guidance that fits real life—subscribe to the Nutrition Diva.

    Does Beano cancel the benefits of beans? Jun 24, 2026
    Show notes

    869. Beans are gut health gold -- but the same compounds that feed your microbiome are also what cause the gas. So when you take an enzyme supplement like Beano to tame the bloat, are you undermining the benefit? Monica has a more reassuring answer than you might expect.

    How to avoid summer weight gain in kids Jun 20, 2026
    Show notes


    School's out, the days are long, and summer should be the healthiest time of year for kids — more time outside, more fresh produce, more freedom to move. So why do so many children actually gain excess weight during summer vacation?


    In this episode, Monica breaks down a counterintuitive but increasingly well-documented trend: for many kids, especially those who are already overweight, summer is actually the riskiest season for unhealthy weight gain. And she walks through five practical, family-friendly strategies to turn that around before the school bell rings again.

    Is it safe to cook in aluminum foil? Jun 17, 2026
    Show notes

    868. Aluminum foil is a kitchen staple most of us reach for without a second thought — but should we be more careful about how we use it? This week, Monica breaks down what actually happens when aluminum foil comes into contact with your food, which cooking conditions increase leaching, and whether the aluminum-Alzheimer's connection holds up under scientific scrutiny. Plus, find out whether the shiny side vs. dull side of foil really matters, whether aluminum water bottles are any better than plastic, and simple ways to reduce both your aluminum exposure and your environmental footprint.

    Show notes

    867. Information about food and nutrition has never been easier to come by. But as more and more people turn to TikTok, YouTube, or ChatGPT for health advice, it's important to consider whether you're looking for inspiration or authority. Monica breaks down how to tell the difference between a good lunch idea and a real health claim, when AI tools can genuinely help, and when you need a qualified professional instead.

    Can you reverse gray hair? Here’s what the science says Jun 03, 2026
    Show notes

    866. The market is suddenly full of products claiming to prevent or even reverse gray hair — not by dyeing it, but by actually changing what's happening inside the hair follicle. Some of these serums, supplements, and "anti-gray systems" are backed by genuinely interesting science. Others are getting way ahead of the evidence. Today, Monica breaks down the biology of why hair goes gray, what ingredients show the most promise (and for whom), and which products are banking more on your hope than on clinical proof.

    The new food pyramid: progress or paradox? May 27, 2026
    Show notes

    865. The USDA unveiled the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the "Inverted Pyramid" has been sparking a lot of discussion. After a decade of MyPlate, why is the government returning to a pyramid visual—and why is it upside down?


    In this episode, Monica breaks down the major shifts in the new US guidance, including:


    • The protein pivot: Why protein is taking center stage and what it means for your health.
    • The plant-based omission: Why beans and legumes were left out of the new visuals despite the scientific evidence.
    • The global gap: How the new US pyramid compares to the UK’s Eatwell Guide and Canada’s food plate.
    • AHA vs. USDA: Why the American Heart Association is issuing its own "course correction" on salt and saturated fat.


    This episode will help you navigate these changes without losing sight of common-sense nutrition.

    Everything you need to know about mineral absorption May 20, 2026
    Show notes

    864.Does putting spinach in your smoothie cancel out the calcium? Will your morning cup of tea prevent you from absorbing iron? In this episode, Monica looks into the science of mineral absorption and explores the truth behind "anti-nutrients" like oxalates, tannins, and fiber.


    While certain compounds in food can bind to minerals—like the oxalates in spinach or tannins in tea—the body has built-in buffers to keep you healthy. In this episode, we discuss:


    • The Spinach paradox: Why the calcium in greens isn't always bioavailable.
    • Iron inhibitors: How coffee and tea affect iron levels (and how Vitamin C can help).
    • The fiber myth: Why a high-fiber diet won't lead to mineral deficiencies.
    • Fortified foods vs. supplements: Is calcium-fortified orange juice or soymilk better than a pill?

    The good news is the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) already accounts for these interactions. Tune in to learn why a varied diet is your best defense and why you probably don't need to micromanage your meals to get the minerals you need.

    Can resveratrol prevent bone loss? What the research really shows May 13, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode, Monica breaks down the latest research on resveratrol and bone loss prevention. While the 2020 RESHAW study in Australia showed promising results for postmenopausal women, a more recent meta-analysis tells a different story. We separate the supplement hype from the evidence-based nutrition strategies that actually protect your skeleton as you age.


    Key Takeaways:


    • The RESHAW Breakdown: Why 150 mg of resveratrol led to modest gains in hip and spine density—and why you’d need a lot of wine to replicate it.
    • 10-Year Fracture Risk: How to use the FRAX calculator to estimate your likelihood of a major fracture as part of your longevity strategy.
    • The Meta-Analysis Reality Check: Why mashing up 10 human trials suggests resveratrol might not be the "magic pill" for bone density.
    • The "Healthspan" Levers: Why protein timing, Fibermaxxing, and Vitamin K remain the gold standards for sarcopenia prevention and bone strength.

    Resources:


    • FRAX Calculator: 10-year fracture risk tool
    • Episode 734: Closing the calcium gap safely.

    What science has to say about your sweet tooth May 06, 2026
    Show notes

    862. Can you actually "reset" your taste buds by cutting out sugar? You’ve heard that a 30-day sugar detox will make your cravings disappear, but a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests our preference for sweetness is more permanent than we thought. This week, Monica debunks the "palate reset" myth and explores a more effective way to manage a sweet tooth.


    Key Takeaways:


    • The myth of the palate reset: Why "The Sweet Tooth Trial" found that cutting sugar for 6 months didn't change taste preferences.
    • The first 1,000 days: How early life exposure sets your biological "sweetness" baseline.
    • Behavior over biology: Why addressing emotional triggers is more effective than a 30-day cleanse.
