Healthy Not Complicated is a podcast where I step back from nutrition noise and break down buzzing health headlines with clarity and context. Each episode starts with one timely topic and uses it as a lens to cut through confusion, challenge oversimplified narratives, and explain what actually matters for blood sugar, insulin resistance, and long-term weight loss. This podcast isn’t about quick fixes, trends, or crash diets. It’s about understanding the truth behind the headlines, so nutrition feels calmer, clearer, and of course, less complicated.

    A complete guide to peptides: Retatrutide, benefits, risks and safety

    Thank you Sodii for sponsoring this episode! Save 15% off your first order: ⁠https://hckait.com/sodiielectrolytes Peptides are everywhere right now, but what are they, and are they actually safe? With news that the FDA may lift restrictions on certain peptides, this is about to become a much bigger conversation. In this episode, I break down everything you need to know, including what peptides are, how they work, and whether they’re worth the hype. I also share my perspective after doing a deep dive into the research, and why I’ve changed my stance on peptides, while still having reservations. If peptides do become more widely available, this is what you need to know to make an informed decision.

    Sea moss, colostrum, berberine: are they worth it?

    Thank you Sodii for sponsoring this episode! Save 15% off your first order: ⁠https://hckait.com/sodiielectrolytes⁠ Sea moss, colostrum, and berberine are some of the most talked about supplements right now, with claims around gut health, weight loss, blood sugar control, and overall wellness. The truth is, many supplements aren’t completely useless, but they’re often overhyped and misunderstood. Without the right foundation, sleep, nutrition, and daily habits, no supplement is going to fix your health. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be taking supplements or not, this episode will help you think about it more clearly.

    Ozempic pills are finally here: what you need to know

    Thank you Sodii for sponsoring this episode! Save 15% off your first order: https://hckait.com/sodiielectrolytes GLP-1s now being available in a pill could change weight loss forever. But is this a good thing? In this episode of Healthy Not Complicated, I break down what Ozempic and Wegovey becoming available as a daily pill actually changes, and just as importantly, what it doesn’t. Using three recent headlines as examples, including the Wegovy pill, the rise of fibermaxxing, and the growing trend of wellness stacking, we talk about why health headlines often feel like the answer to all your problems, and why that promise rarely plays out the way we hope. This episode also includes The Sip with Sodii, where I answer a listener question from the last episode.

    Double jaw surgery: 5 years later (cost, recovery, and my only regrets)

    Is Double Jaw Surgery worth the cost and the year of recovery? In 2021, I underwent a massive double jaw surgery to fix a misaligned bite, breathing issues, and a gummy smile. Now, five years later, I’m breaking down the full experience… from the $15,000 price tag to the reality of permanent nerve numbness.

    The real reason influencers still promote the carnivore diet (and why I stopped)

    The carnivore diet is taking over social media, promising "magical" results for inflammation, weight loss, and clear skin. But as a nutritionist who was once fully carnivore, I’m sharing an expose on why this radical simplicity often breaks down when it leaves the online bubble and enters the real world. Today, we look at why influencers still promote extreme meat-only diets, and it often has more to do with "the algorithm than long-term metabolic health. We discuss why it works as a short-term elimination diet to reset your insulin sensitivity, but why the mental toll and "white knuckling" makes it unsustainable for the 88% of Americans struggling with metabolic dysfunction.

    Why I stopped intermittent fasting (warning for women)

    For years, I swore by intermittent fasting. I loved the simplicity and the metabolic results, until I realised it wasn't serving my biology anymore, especially as an athlete and a woman. While fasting is a powerful tool for reversing insulin resistance and improving autophagy, there is a massive difference between a clinical "fasting window" and accidental "over-fasting". Today, I’m breaking down the technical nuance of why women respond differently to calorie restriction, how it impacts the thyroid and reproductive signalling, and why I shifted my routine to fuel for performance over rigid schedules.

    The "healthy" rules that kept me sicker

    I followed every "healthy" eating rule the experts gave us: I cut back on red meat, limited my salt, and swapped butter for margarine. The result? My energy crashed, my hormones were all over the place, and I looked as horrible as I felt. Today, I’m walking you through why traditional nutrition advice often leads to chronic fatigue and insulin resistance. We are moving beyond the "low-fat" propaganda of the 80s to look at why your body actually needs saturated fat, the technical truth about dietary cholesterol, and why a "whole foods" framework beats a rigid diet every time.
