Road Trip... Destination, Nashville, TN with Chelsea LeBlanc & US Soy!

This week, the PATHPod gals bring you something brand new—our very first sponsored episode, created in collaboration with U.S. Soy. And wow… did the stars align for this one. As longtime soy lovers (professionally and personally), partnering with a research‑driven, evidence‑based organization felt like the perfect fit.

We’re joined by the wonderful Chelsea LeBlanc, RD, a Nashville‑based dietitian, media expert, and mom who brings warmth, clarity, and practical wisdom to every part of this conversation. Together, we walk through eight evidence‑based “Soy Prizes”—the surprising, reassuring, and downright fascinating benefits of soy foods.

From complete protein to heart health, from seed‑oil panic to brain health, from prostate and breast cancer research to menopause support and even skin health… this episode is packed with science, stories, and simple ways to bring soy into your everyday routine.

You’ll also hear our own “soy surprises,” kitchen favorites, and easy ways to start experimenting—tempeh tacos, miso dressings, edamame shortcuts, tofu magic, and more. As always, it’s conversational, joyful, and rooted in real‑life habits that help you feel good.
