RDs vs. BS

Realfoodology and Salt Substitutes Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

In what is probably the most hypocritical nutrition influencer we have ever covered, we cover Courtney Swan, aka Realfoodology, as she slams the profession of dietetics for being "paid off" while simultaneously accepting countless brand sponsorships to shill diet and wellness products, AND convince you to stop taking medications! What fun!
In our BS PS, we discuss potential legislation that will allow food manufactures to use potassium based salts in processed foods as a substitute for sodium. We discuss what are the pros and what are the potential dangers if this legislation passes.

The Zone Diet & 75 Hard Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

The zone diet was originally created to reduce inflammation in athletes. Today, it has morphed into... well, not that. Can the zone diet really stop "decreasing wellness" and "improve aging" and other vague and undefinable claims like that, or is it just a bunch of BS? Our BS PS, presented by dietetic intern Ellen Tingey Doyle, is on 75 hard. Is this a challenge you should try, or should we look to other tactics to change health behaviors?

Gary Brecka Jan 01, 2024

Show notes

Happy New Year and welcome back! Today we discuss a self-proclaimed "human biologist" who has taken over the media scene in the world of bio-hacking. He calls himself a "human biologist", we call him the "human Dunning-Krueger effect", because he seems to think he knows a whole lot about topics he clearly knows very little. We hope you enjoy!

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet and Tart Cherry Juice Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet was created in the mid 2010's as a way to relieve symptoms for any autoimmune disease. This diet is VERY restrictive and hard to execute, so is it worth it? Today we discuss the research behind the AIP diet, and some other dietary interventions for symptom management of some autoimmune diseases. Our BS PS is on tart cherry juice, and whether or not this sour drink actually can reduce soreness and help with sleep.

Gwen Shamblin and the Weigh Down Workshop Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

Have we found the WORST DIET of all time? Gwen Shamblin's "Weight Down" weight loss workshop, turned actual church (or, in our opinion, cult), claims to put the Christian God in the center of weight loss. Listen to how this popular Jesus-first approach took advantage of people's faith, and hear some tragic stories of some survivors of this program.
