Real nuturion information backed by science.

The best nutrition podcast. EC does her research!

LivinInMN ,

Straight facts backed by real science

The Consistency Project by EC Synkowski and Patrick Cummings is a breath of fresh air in the health and wellness media space. EC offers straight facts back by real science, and that is a joy and so refreshing to listen to and learn from. I’ve been a huge fan from the first day of this podcast, and is my go to source of information to share with people who get caught up in the myths and nonsense of fitness and health media shenanigans. If you want to learn about the simplicity and elegance of nutrition, EC is at the top of the game. No nonsense, truth, telling, and backed by meta analysis. You can’t beat that.
