Street Parking Episode!
This was a great episode! A good refresher on the basic principles from a new angle with E.C. as the guest.
Science based
Science based yet entertaining podcast. Always straight to the point. I always learn so much from EC. She has a great way of explaining things. Been bingeing the podcast since I came across it. Thank you for putting out great info and interesting topics!
Best nutritional podcast I’ve ever listened to!
EC’s approach is great, she makes very complicated biology understandable to the layman and nutritional novices. I love that she is not dogmatic in her approach and also how her views have changed overtime, along with her knowledge and the actual science. Keep up the great work EC!!!!
