Personalized Nutrition Part 3: Zoe and Metabolic Response Testing
In the final installment of this three-part series we’re digging into the world of metabolic response testing. Currently, there seems to be increasing emphasis on the importance of understanding your unique response to macronutrients, especially carbs and fat. Companies like Zoe are encouraging everyone to wear continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) while influencers like the Glucose Goddess are extolling the virtues of flattening your glucose curve. But is personalized metabolic response testing necessary for everyone? And do these expensive programs lead to clinically significant health improvements? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore these questions (and more) in this look at personalized metabolic response testing.

Personalized Nutrition Part 2: Nutrigenetics (with Dr. Lara Hyde)
In the second of this three part series, we’re digging into the world of nutrigenetics. Over the last several years, there has been a huge uptick in companies offering personalized diet recommendations ‘based on your own unique DNA!’. But how evidence-based are companies like GenoPalate? And are there potential downsides of over-focusing on how your DNA interacts with the foods you eat? Join us, two Registered Dietitians (well mostly Matt), as we answer these and a whole host of other questions about the science of Nutrigenetics.

Personalized Nutrition Part 1: Viome and the Microbiome (With Dr. Lara Hyde)
In the first of this three part series, we dive into the world of personalized nutrition starting with the microbiome. Most of us have seen companies like Viome, promising that their revolutionary microbiome test can help us "optimize" our gut and consequently improve our overall health. But how much do we actually know about the microbiome? And are these tests really reliable? Join us, two registered dietitians and one very special guest, as we dig deep into the world of personalized microbiome testing.

The Great Saturated Fat Debate
For decades the advice around saturated fat seemed clear: lowering your intake of saturated fat would lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But about a decade ago, things changed. The carnivore diet gained popularity, Time Magazine featured ‘Butter is Back’ on their cover, and social media became awash with influencers claiming that everything we knew about saturated fat was wrong. With all of these opposing views, what does the research actually tell us about saturated fat and heart disease? Join us, two registered dietitians, as we dig into what has become one of the biggest controversies in the world of nutrition.

Customer Reviews
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.
Balanced. Factual. A True Gem!
Basically the title. This podcast is not only fun, but also keeps me grounded in a world of health misinformation.
