Red Food Dye and Alpine Ice Hack Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Is it possible that all of childhood inattentiveness and ADHD diagnoses can be traced back to a simple food dye? Some would have you believe that red food dye, or Red40, may be to blame. We have a feeling the evidence shows otherwise. Today's BS PS is on the Alpine Ice Hack and Tik Tok ice hack challenge. What if all along, all we needed to do to lose weight is eat ice!?

Show notes

If you have come to this episode to find the secrets of beauty, youthfulness, and never-aging skin... we hate to disappoint, but you might not find what you're looking for. In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the literature on collagen and what we can realistically expect from a collagen supplement. Our BS PS is on net carbs, and why some nutrition fact labels subtract fiber and sugar alcohols from its carbohydrate totals.

If you have ever used social media, you have probably seen ads for today's episode. The face of VShred, Vince Sant, shows up on ads all over various social media and networking platforms, showing off his 6-pack abs and talking about how he's got the secret to melting off body fat. In today's episode, Marie takes a peak behind the curtain of this company and its figurehead, and what she finds is less than impressive.

Biohacking feat. Seb Zorn Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

We are joined today but a VERY special guest, Stanford University's Director of Football Performance Nutrition, Seb Zorn, MS, RD, CSSD. You might recognize this last name.. Seb is also Emily's husband!
Seb gives us his insight on "biohacking" - the idea that you can use diets and/or supplements to change your biology for the better. We talk through which concept have a little bit of evidence, which are total quackery, and how much a "bio hack" will really change your health and biology outcomes in the long run.

BMI Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

200 years ago, a Belgian mathematician created an equation to represent the statical bell curve of the population of white men in Western Europe. Today, for some reason, we use this height-for-weight measurement to immediately make judgements on a person's risk for health complications. After our discussion, we feel like it might be time to toss out this archaic measurement.
We also start our episode with a brief continuation of last week's Ozempic conversation, plus we end with a BS PS on Joel Greene's Veep Nutrtion.

Ozempic Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

This weight loss pharmaceutical is all the rage right now, but do you know its actual purpose? Today we discuss Ozempic and the rise of semaglutide medications for weight loss. Although today's topic is not nutrition related, it is related to diet culture and the pursuit of thinness. Today's BS PS is fertilized eggs: with today's high price of eggs, is it worth the extra few dollars to opt for this option at the grocery store?

The Game Changers Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Today we continue our documentary review by taking a magnifying glass to the popular Netflix documentary "The Game Changers". At first glance, this documentary may seem to make a pretty convincing argument for athletes of all kinds to switch to a vegan diet. However, we took a closer look at the evidence cited and found that the arguments crumble under the tiniest scrutiny.

Juice Plus+, Greens Powders, Juicing, and Chlorophyll Jan 22, 2023

Show notes

Is the secret to all your health concerns found in a capsule of dehydrated fruits and vegetables? Today we dive in to Juice Plus+, an MLM company with some wild claims about the benefits of the product. Our conversation leads us to talk about other greens powders, juicing, and the benefits of chlorophyll (we promise this episode isn't a bore-ophyll!)
