  1. Testosterone Maxxing With The Boys

    1D AGO

    Testosterone Maxxing With The Boys

    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.

    Let’s Talk About Youngevity…

    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.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

    APR 1

    Are These Foods SECRETLY Trying to KILL YOU Until You Are Dead?

    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.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

  5. Adrenal Fatigue and Cortisol Confusion

    Adrenal Fatigue and Cortisol Confusion

    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.” Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

  7. Red Wine, The French Paradox and The Truth About Alcohol and Health

    MAR 4

    Red Wine, The French Paradox and The Truth About Alcohol and Health

    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.
