    Nutrition in Space!

    Nutrition in Space!

    Space, the final frontier! Have you ever wondered how the nutrition needs of an astronaut change when they enter space? Or whether or not Matt Damon really could survive on potatoes grown in Martian soil? How about making cricket bread and cultured meat in space? Well join us, two Registered Dietitians and NASA Nutritionist Dr. Scott M. Smith as we answer these questions (and more!) and learn all about how nutrition in space actually works. 

    And just a quick reminder, this is our last new main feed episode until September, but don’t worry, we’ll be back in the fall!

    100 Years of Diet Food

    100 Years of Diet Food

    Diet foods have been around in some shape or form for well over a hundred years. Whether they are low-calorie, low-fat, low-carb, or claim to possess some type of magical fat-burning property, diet foods are staple of diet culture. But just how have diet foods changed throughout the decades? And how exactly might they impact our relationship with food? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we answer these questions and take a romp through some of the most infamous diet food trends of the past century.

Really enjoying it!

I love Matt and Jen’s take on all things nutrition from the scope of intuitive eating. So far I'm finding this podcast informative and entertaining. Their voices are also super calming.

I think I’m in love with you?

I just listened to the saturated fat episode and it is everything I wish I could express to my patients in the 5-15 min I get in the acute setting for education as an RD. Thank you, thank you for this work and organizing the information in a digestible format. Going forward, I’m sending this episode to friends and fam that ask about the carnivore diet.
