  1. Am I Eating Enough Protein? | Purposeful Snacking, The Term "Healthy," and Athlete Fueling

    Am I Eating Enough Protein? | Purposeful Snacking, The Term "Healthy," and Athlete Fueling

    Are you really getting enough protein as an athlete, or are social media food rules steering you wrong? In this episode, we break down one of the most commonly asked questions in nutrition and explain what protein needs actually look like for athletes in real life. We react to viral nutrition content that shocks people, like recommending Rice Krispy treats for athletes, and explain why sugar is not the enemy when it comes to fueling performance. We dive into purposeful snacking, ingredient obsession, and how carbohydrate sources support training, recovery, and consistency for athletes. You will also hear our unfiltered take on the word "healthy" and why labeling foods as good or bad often hurts athlete performance more than it helps. If you are an athlete confused about protein intake, sugar, snacks, or what "healthy eating" even means anymore, this episode is your reset. This conversation is for athletes who want better performance without burnout, food guilt, or chasing perfection. Expect nuance, science, and practical takeaways you can actually use. 📌 Get Matched with a Dietitian Today!

  2. Glucose Monitors, GLP-1s, and the Illusion of "Optimal" Health

    JAN 20

    Glucose Monitors, GLP-1s, and the Illusion of "Optimal" Health

    CGMs and GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but should everyone be using them? In this episode, Andrew Wade, registered dietitian and CEO of Case Specific Nutrition, is joined by Brad and Hillary, both registered dietitians and lead clinicians at their own offices, to break down the most common question they hear in practice: should non-diabetics get a CGM to improve their health? Together, they explore how to interpret CGM data, the risks of chasing numbers without context, and what happens when "optimization" replaces foundational health behaviors. The conversation also covers the growing role of GLP-1 medications, recent updates around accessibility and pricing, and why cost reductions can be both a promising step forward and a potential risk depending on how these medications are used. Brad and Hillary react to the explosion of GLP-1 content on social media, including patches, supplements, and "natural" protocols, and unpack ingredient obsessions like probiotics and Akkermansia. Through real client stories, they challenge weight loss expectations, highlight why eating more, building muscle, and fueling adequately can sometimes drive better results, and reinforce a core message from clinical practice: GLP-1s without lifestyle change are not the shortcut people hope they will be. 📌 Get Matched with a Dietitian Today!

    What a Healthy Relationship with Food Actually Looks Like | Creatine Supplements, Food Scanner Apps

    From gym myths to government policy—this week, Laura and Andrew tackle it all. 💪 We kick things off with one of the most common supplement questions: Should I be taking creatine? We break down how it works in your brain and muscles, whether you actually need it, and what the research says about dosage, hydration, and even sleep deprivation recovery. Then, we dive into the growing obsession with ingredient-scanning apps like Yuka and Olive. Are they truly helping people make better food choices—or just fueling more food anxiety? Next, Laura shares an incredible client story that reveals the emotional side of food, bingeing, and finding safety in eating. Plus, we end with a Scream from the Rooftops moment about what it really means to have a healthy relationship with food—because it's so much more than macros. Finally, we wrap up with the latest updates from Make America Healthy Again (MAHA)—and why dietitians must have a seat at the policy table if we want lasting change in how Americans eat and live. 🎙️ Tune in for real talk, relatable stories, and the science-based insights you expect from the Case Specific Podcast. 📷 Follow Us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/casespecificnutrition 📌 Get Matched with a Dietitian Today! https://casespecificnutrition.com/match
