Notes de l’épisode
What if the secret to living longer was simply… eating less? Nearly a century ago, researchers discovered that severely restricting calories could dramatically extend the lives of laboratory animals. Decades later, a small but devoted group of people decided they didn’t want to wait around to find out whether it worked in humans. What followed was one of the strangest chapters in the history of longevity science: a charismatic researcher, eight people sealed inside a dome, an online community devoted to eating as little as possible without becoming malnourished, and eventually a landmark human trial that put calorie restriction to the test. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we trace the rise of the Calorie Restriction Society, the science that inspired it, and discuss what happened when humans actually tried eating less in the hopes of living longer.

Notes de l’épisode
For decades, oatmeal has been the poster child for a heart-healthy breakfast: inexpensive, filling, packed with fiber, and boring enough that no one really thought to argue about it. But lately, the internet has decided that oatmeal might actually be… bad for you. Depending on which influencer you ask, oats are loaded with lectins and “antinutrients,” they spike your blood sugar, and are actually little more than “peasant food” that we’ve somehow been tricked into eating. So how did one of the most ordinary foods in America suddenly become so controversial? And is there any truth behind these claims? So join us, two registered dietitians, as we wade into the surprisingly heated war on oatmeal, unpack some of the biggest claims being made online, and find out what the science actually says about the humble oat.

Notes de l’épisode
For a while, the glycemic index seemed like it might change everything we thought we knew about carbohydrates. Suddenly, foods weren’t just “healthy” or “unhealthy”—they came with a number predicting how dramatically they would raise your blood sugar. What started as a tool for diabetes management soon became the foundation for bestselling diets, low-GI foods, and a whole new way of thinking about carbs. And then… we mostly stopped talking about it. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we trace the surprising rise and fall of the glycemic index, why it became such a nutrition phenomenon, and what it can—and can’t—actually tell us about the food we eat.

Notes de l’épisode
Long before chiropractors were selling supplements, hormone protocols and detoxes on social media, the field of chiropractic had already mastered something surprisingly familiar: convincing people that mainstream medicine was missing the real cause of their health problems. More than a century later, chiropractic has changed enormously—but some of its earliest ideas about natural healing, medical distrust, and treating the “root cause” of disease sound remarkably similar to the language of today’s wellness influencers. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we travel from magnetic healing and the first chiropractic adjustment to supplement empires and TikTok nutrition gurus—and explore how the strange history of chiropractic helps explain some of the biggest nutrition grifts on the internet today.

Notes de l’épisode
According to Fast Like a Girl, women have been fasting all wrong. Written by chiropractor and wellness influencer Dr. Mindy Pelz, this bestselling book promises to teach women how to fast in a way that “works with” their hormones—by syncing fasting windows, carbs, and even specific foods to different phases of the menstrual cycle. There’s “ketobiotic” eating, “hormone feasting,” six different types of fasts, and, for the particularly ambitious, a 72-hour fast that Pelz claims can help reboot your immune system. It’s an impressively detailed roadmap. There’s just one question: does the science actually support it? So join us, two registered dietitians, as we venture into the complicated world of fasting and female hormones to find out whether your menstrual cycle really needs its own fasting schedule.

Notes de l’épisode
Dr. Eric Berg has built one of the biggest nutrition empires on the internet. With millions of YouTube subscribers and billions of views, his videos on keto, fasting, “hidden toxins,” and miracle health hacks reach an audience larger than many major media outlets. To his fans, he’s the calm, trustworthy doctor explaining the “real truth” about health that mainstream medicine doesn’t want you to hear. But the deeper we dug into the world of Dr. Berg, the stranger the story became. What starts as nutrition advice quickly turns into an Alice in Wonderland-style rabbit hole filled with anti-establishment wellness messaging, controversial medical claims, and eventually… Scientology. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we unravel the bizarre overlap between influencer wellness culture, algorithm-driven health misinformation, and one of the most controversial organizations in modern history.

Notes de l’épisode
Across headlines, documentaries, and social media posts, nitrate-cured processed meats are often talked about with the same language once used for cigarettes. Bacon, hot dogs, deli turkey, pepperoni—foods many people grew up eating—are now linked in people’s minds with colon cancer and claims that nitrates are “poisoning” us. Meanwhile, Americans consume billions and billions of dollars of processed meat each year. So what gives? How should we think about nitrates and processed meats? And are “uncured” meats really safer? Join us, two registered dietitians, as we explore what the research actually says about the connection between processed meats and cancer risk.

Notes de l’épisode
Across TikTok, Reddit, and podcast circuits, young men are being sold a blueprint for increasing their testosterone. Known as ‘T-maxxing’, this trend is a mix of diet rules, supplement stacks, gym routines, and lifestyle hacks all centered around boosting testosterone as the ultimate marker of health. But behind the steak, organ meats, and anti-soy rhetoric is a more complicated story—one that blends kernels of physiology with a heavy dose of misinformation, cherry-picked science, and cultural anxiety. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we unpack the science of testosterone, break down the foods and supplements at the center of T-maxxing, and explore the deeper cultural forces driving this trend—from body image to belonging to the pressure to “optimize” masculinity—even when that pressure is built on shaky science and unrealistic ideals.

Joel Wallach built an empire on a wild promise: that EVERY single human disease is simply the result of a mineral deficiency. Through his lectures and various supplement companies, his message reached millions and made him a central figure in one of the most controversial corners of the wellness world. From his “90 essential nutrients” claim to the spread of COVID-19 pseudoscience, this story isn’t just unusual—it’s a case study in how confidently presented misinformation can evolve, expand, and ultimately shape the way people think about health. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we dig into the science, the saga, and the spectacle of the multi-level marketing machine that is Youngevity.

Released April 1st, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with a totally real, definitely credible “expert” and author of Are These Foods SECRETLY Trying to KILL YOU Until You Are Dead?, a groundbreaking exposé claiming that the true enemies of human health have been hiding in plain sight all along: tomatoes, mozzarella, and bread. In this very serious interview, our special guest will walk us through how these everyday foods are waging a coordinated attack on your body—from the “acidic chaos” of tomatoes, to the “mucus-forming menace” of mozzarella, to bread, which he assures us is basically just “edible sabotage.” So join us, as we use dramatic language, say big words and cherry-pick a whole bunch of science all in an attempt to sound confident, convincing and intelligent.

Notes de l’épisode
Cortisol is one of the most misunderstood hormones on the internet. From adrenal fatigue to diet recommendations to supplement suggestions, claims abound regarding what you should be doing to regulate your stress response. But is there actually evidence to support these diet and supplement recommendations? And what behaviors truly help support and normalize cortisol levels? Join us, two registered dietitians, as we explore the origins of the adrenal fatigue theory, the science behind the body’s stress response, and why real endocrine conditions like Adrenal Insufficiency are very different from the wellness version of “burned-out adrenal glands.”

Notes de l’épisode
For decades, the French Paradox has suggested that a diet loaded with cheese, butter, and other saturated fats can coexist with low rates of heart disease—if you just sip a little wine. But, as with many nutrition headlines, the truth is far more complicated. So join us, two registered dietitians, as we explore how red wine became a “health” beverage, unpack what the science really says about alcohol and health, and examine why resveratrol, observational studies, and the way health data is recorded can make it tricky to separate fact from fiction.

Are there really places in the world where people routinely live past 100—and if so, do they hold the secret to longevity? Enter the Blue Zones. From Sardinia to Okinawa, these regions have been held up as proof that specific diets and lifestyles can dramatically extend life. But it turns out, the Blue Zones story isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore the fascinating, unexpected, and surprising story of the Blue Zones—and unpack what they can (and can’t) teach us about health and longevity.

If you’ve ever left a medical appointment feeling dismissed, judged, or like your body size became the diagnosis... then this episode is for you — and honestly, for your doctor too. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the very real stigma larger-bodied people face in health care settings—and how often weight bias gets in the way of actual care. We’re joined by you, our listeners, through powerful voicemails sharing both painful and healing experiences with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. From being told to “just lose weight” to finally being listened to and taken seriously, these stories highlight what’s broken, what’s possible, and the power of weight inclusive care.

Notes de l’épisode
The new dietary guidelines are out, and if you felt a mix of confusion, skepticism, and mild dystopian dread… you’re not alone. From the upside-down food pyramid (yes, South Park called it) to a big reversal on saturated fat, these new guidelines are chock-full of both nutrition and philosophical issues. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dig into concerns around ‘healthy fats’, conflicts of interest and a blatant disregard of health equity and real-world access to food.
