    Reddit's Am I the A*****e - Nutrition Edition Part 1

    Wow life got REAL busy folks! But we are back and in full bloom. This episode is a little different. You know we love the science of nutrition but we are storytellers at heart after all! So we went on Reddit a scoured the AITA subs related to nutrition. WARNING: All of the threads we discuss speak to dieting, diets, weight loss, body image, etc. If this is triggering for you please skip this episode. If not, we can't wait for you to listen to what we think is possibly our most entertaining and interesting episode to date. Stay crunchy!

    Nutrition and Supplement Research: Interview with Nick Milazzo, MS, MPH from Examine.com

    Do you know what's actually in the supplements you take? Or if they really do what they claim to do? In this episode we had the privilege of picking the brain of Nick Milazzo, MS, MPH, researcher and research coordinator with Examine.com. Kristina and I learned a TON from this conversation with Nick (so many light bulb moments)! From how Examine presents and analyzes research studies on supplements and nutritional theories to how supplements are regulated and which ones have the most evidence behind them to back up their claims. You won't want to miss this enlightening chat. :) Third Party Supplement Testing & Review Websites: These are two of the sites we discussed that you can check out to find out what's REALLY in your supplements! https://labdoor.com/ https://www.consumerlab.com/ You can contact Nick Milazzo, MS, MPH, [website in the works], nick@examine.com or on Instagram @nick_milazzo

    The Gut Microbiome Overview with Jessie Hoffman, PhD, RD

    A phrase we live by - “always listen to your gut.” Our guest on today’s episode can attest to that. In fact, much of her life is very much dedicated to that. Jessie Hoffman, PhD, RD, is a Registered Dietitian and Assistant Professor at Winthrop University in SC. As a human microbiome researcher, she has several publications mainly focused on the interactions between diet, environment, and the gut microbiome. Today, Jessie enlightens us with answers to all our most burning GI questions (no pun intended), from probiotics and if eating sugar produces toxins, to the gut-brain axis. Thank you for listening!

    Duality in Dietetics Part 3: Our Personal Perspectives on the Opposing Theories of Intuitive Eating/HAES & Weight Loss

    TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode we use language like "overweight" and "obese" and discuss eating disorders and disordered eating. If this is in any way triggering to you, PLEASE skip this episode! Thank you, we love you. Here it is guys -- the third and final episode of our three part series on the duality in dietetics. We had the pleasure of interviewing two amazing RDs individually on the topic of intuitive eating/HAES and then on the topic of weight loss in the two previous episodes, respectively. Please check them out if you have not already before pressing play here. In this episode, it's just Kristina and I (Natalie) having an authentic, stream-of-conscious style chat about our personal perspectives on both IE/HAES and weight loss. Join us for a somewhat silly, super crunchy, totally honest, and absolutely necessary convo!

    Duality in Dietetics Part 2: Weight Loss ft. Jess Boudreau, RD, LDN

    TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss weight, dieting, and weight loss throughout this entire episode! If this is in any way triggering to you, please skip this episode. Thank you and we love you. Join us as we take it to the other side of the "duality in dietetics spectrum" and discuss the topic of weight loss with weight loss coach and dietitian, Jess Boudreau. Our goal with this episode was really to start the conversation about weight loss and if and how it can be achieved in a healthy and sustainable way, without a focus on restriction or hating our bodies. We hit on all the relevant topics from weight stigma and intuitive eating to dieting and the potential cons of weight loss. We can't wait for you to listen! SMALL EPISODE NOTE: from 34:40 to 35:17 there was a minor error! Jess meant to say it's likely muscle and water you lose, not fat! Just to be clear. Big claims like that for weight loss are always going to end up in losing the type of body mass we don't want to lose.  Reach out to Jess: IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.weightloss.rd/ Website: https://www.jessboudreaurd.com/
