What the Health Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

What the health did we just watch... on today's episode, we review the documentary "What the Health", which is basically an hour and a half of bad science and fear mongering. We explain what research actually shows about the vegan diet and consuming animal products as we debunk this mess of a documentary.

The Dangers of Dieting feat. Elaina Efird Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

We're back starting off the new. year with a bang! Today we are joined with Elaina Efird, a fellow RD, who has within the last few years taken to Instagram and TikTok to fight off the nutrition BS on social media. Elaina has an extensive background of working with chronic dieters at her job at the Kahm Clinic, where she measures the metabolic damage to those who cycle through restrictive eating patterns. We discuss BMR, what happens metabolically when someone is on and off fad diets, and transition to a conversation about her social media content. This is NOT an episode you want to miss!

Ketones Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Some people claim that you can take a ketone supplement, thrust your body into ketosis, and be a fat burning machine! We say this claim is probably too good to be true... On today's episode we discuss ketones, including the forms of ketone esters, ketone salts, and raspberry ketones. Is burning up body fat as simple as taking a pill, or will we call BS on this supplement?
Today's BS PS is on the supplement UCAN, a powder/gel marketed to runners.

"Grain Brain" by David Perlmutter, MD Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

Another day, another doctor spewing polarizing nutrition information that is only loosely based on research. Today we discussed "Grain Brain", a book about how gluten, grain, and sugar is the reason for all human chronic illness. Emily takes up through this eye-roll inducing book, and Marie discovers mid-episode that this author seems to have completely conflicting nutrition ideologies based on what book of his he is currently promoting.

Show notes

If "put tape over your mouth to keep yourself from eating" sounds like terrible advice, this is the episode for you! Today we discuss the 4 tenants of Bright Line Eating, and how this "evidence based approach" seems a bit more like a program pushing a lot of problematic ideas.

The "Medical Medium" and Celery Juice Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Today we discuss what might be our most outrageous diet ideology yet: self-proclaimed "Medical Medium" Anthony William claims that he talks to a "spirit" that gives him medical diagnosis for clients. He then usually proceeds to prescribe a celery juice cure (because of the "undiscovered special salt clusters in celery that "spirit" has told him and only him about) to heal most ailments. Unfortunately, he is "practicing" his "spirituality" in a way that is AWFULY close to a medical practice, and we have a lot of words about his nutrition claims.

Fish Oils Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in the highest concentration in fatty fish and fish oils. These essential nutrient have to be consumed in the diet. The more fish oils are studied, the more research shows they may be linked to heart health, brain health, inflammation, and more. However, have the claims for these cure-all pills gotten out of control, or can one fish oil a day keep the doctor away?
Today's BS PS looks at the supplement Quinton. This supplement, which is based off of filtered sea water, claims to be a better mineral source than other electrolyte sources.
