    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.

    Bread first or last? Does food order affect blood sugar? Apr 22, 2026
    Show notes

    861. Can the order in which you eat your food "flatten the curve" of your blood sugar? From social media influencers to clinical research, a lot of people are talking about meal sequencing. This week, Monica breaks down whether saving your carbs for last actually improves insulin response, prevents Type 2 diabetes, or if it’s just another "hack" that doesn't hold up for everyone.

    Cook or compost? What to do with carrot tops, avocado pits and peanut shells Apr 15, 2026
    Show notes

    860. Are you throwing away the most nutritious parts of your groceries? From blending avocado pits into smoothies to snacking on peanut shells, social media is full of "zero-waste" food hacks—but are they actually safe?


    This week, Monica digs into the compost bin to separate the "hidden treasures" from the literal trash. We go over which veggie scraps are nutritional powerhouses (hello, beet greens!) and which ones—like rhubarb leaves and apple seeds—could actually be toxic. Plus, the truth about whether eating corn cobs and peanut shells is "fiber" or just a recipe for a digestive disaster.

    What’s with the pickle juice shot trend? Apr 08, 2026
    Show notes

    859. Does pickle juice really work, or are we all just falling for a briny trend?


    From the sidelines of the Philadelphia Eagles to the "wellness shots" at your local grocery checkout, pickle juice has officially gone viral. But while influencers claim it’s a cure-all for everything from hangovers to gut health, the actual science is a bit more surprising.

    In this episode, Monica digs into the research to separate the "sour" myths from the "salty" truths. You’ll discover:


    • The "Neurological Reset": Why pickle juice stops muscle cramps in 90 seconds (and no, it’s not the electrolytes).
    • Vinegar vs. Fermentation: How to tell if your pickles actually contain probiotics or if they’ve been pasteurized into "sterile" snacks.
    • Metabolic Nudges: The truth about acetic acid, blood sugar spikes, and how pickle juice compares to GLP-1 effects.
    • The Hangover Myth: Can a shot of brine really undo a night of drinking?
    • The Sodium Catch: Why your daily "wellness shot" might be delivering more salt than your heart wants.

    Whether you're an endurance athlete or just curious about the #pickle trend on TikTok, learn when to reach for the jar and when to pour it down the drain.

    The science (and sales appeal) of low net carb candies Apr 01, 2026
    Show notes

    858. Are "low net carb" candies actually a healthy alternative, or just clever chemistry? In this episode, Monica breaks down the science of net carbs and the marketing behind some brands.

    We dive deep into the ingredient list to explain how sugar alcohols (like erythritol and isomalt) and functional fibers (like polydextrose and soluble corn fiber) affect your body. If you’ve ever wondered why low-sugar treats cause bloating or gas, or if those 26 grams of fiber actually "count," this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we discuss:


    • How to calculate net carbs: The math manufacturers use to subtract fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbohydrates.
    • The GI Impact: Why high-fiber candies can lead to digestive discomfort and "functional fiber" warnings.
    • Blood Sugar vs. Calories: How keto-friendly sweets compare to traditional treats like Swedish Fish.
    • Food Psychology: Why labeling food as "Shameless" or "Guilt-Free" can harm our relationship with eating.

    Stop viewing your snack choices as a moral scorecard. Listen to learn how to read nutrition facts labels with a critical eye and choose the treats that actually make your body feel good.

    Are you "killing" the nutrients in your food? InstantPots, microwaves, and leftovers…and my only cardinal rule Mar 25, 2026
    Show notes

    Does your food lose its nutritional value as soon as it hits the heat? This week on Nutrition Diva, Monica answers a listener's question about how different cooking methods—specifically the Instant Pot versus the stovetop—impact the vitamins and minerals in your meals.


    We look into the science of nutrient retention, debunking "urban legends" about microwaving, and explaining why frozen vegetables might actually be more nutritious than the "fresh" ones sitting on your counter.


    • The "New Car" Analogy: Does nutrient value drop immediately, or is it a gradual decline?
    • Pressure Cooking vs. Boiling: Why the Instant Pot often beats the stove for preserving fragile vitamins.
    • The Leftover Equation: How many nutrients are actually left in your 3-day-old chili?
    • The Cardinal Rule: The one thing you should never do when reheating food (hint: it’s not about the nutrients, it's about microplastics).
    • The Kale Chip Lesson: Why the "most nutritious" way to cook is the one that actually gets eaten.

    Is coffee mold actually making you sick? Mar 18, 2026
    Show notes

    856. According to the internet, your morning brew might be hiding "mold toxins" that cause brain fog, fatigue, and digestive issues. But is mold-free coffee a bona fide health breakthrough, or just a clever marketing play?

    This week, Monica takes a closer look at the science of mycotoxins in coffee, specifically Ochratoxin A (OTA). We separate food safety facts from "wellness guru" fiction to find out if standard coffee beans are actually undermining your health.



    • What Mycotoxins Are: Understanding the difference between visible mold and chemical compounds like Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A.
    • The Roasting Defense: Why the roasting process is your best protection against toxins and why "green coffee" products carry different risks.
    • Hazard vs. Risk: A crucial distinction in food safety—is the presence of a toxin the same thing as a threat to your health?
    • Practical Prevention: 4 simple steps to minimize exposure—from checking "roasted on" dates to proper home storage—without paying a premium for specialty brands.
    • The Big Picture: How coffee compares to tea, herbal infusions, and cocoa when it comes to OTA levels.
