Gluten Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

Gluten - we're all avoiding it in the name of health, but do most people even know what it is? In this episode, we talk about what gluten is, what it does in the food and in the body, and who, if anybody, should be avoiding it. But don't worry, this episode is certified gluten-free! Our BS PS looks at Magic Mind, a 2oz liquid supplement that claims all kinds of magic and wellness.

WW (Weight Watchers) Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

We've probably all heard of WW (the diet program previously known as Weight Watchers). But what is a dietitian's take on this program? Is it worth trying if weight loss is your goal, or is it all just BS. Check out our NEW segment at the beginning of the episode called "Sh*t at the Grocery Store", and wait until the end for our BS PS about cholesterol and eggs.

Creatine - it's not just for bulking at the gym. In this episode, we talk about this supplement's purpose in sport, and potential other health benefit. We also put to bed some long-held myths about creatine. In today's BS PS, we were asked what do we take and not consider BS? Be sure to stick around to hear about fish oil, turmeric, multivitamins, glucosamine, and more!
