  • Is This the End of Pete Evans?
    Nov 19 2020

    In this episode, Tara reveals why she feels the way she does, about Pete Evans.

    Tara (Nutritionist) has been speaking out about Pete Evans and his dangerous dietary advice for almost 8 years.  This week, the celebrity chef and health guru's empire has come crashing down, after posting a meme displaying a neo-nazi symbol on social media. This lead to major Australian brands dumping him and distancing themselves publicly.

    Tara talks through her journey in attempting to educate the public about Pete's dangerous health advice over the years,  and  provides her rationale for why she considers him  a dangerous person , revealing things you need to know about him before taking on any of his advice.


    Tara is a registered Australian nutritionist, university lecturer, speaker, author and despiser of fad diets and shonky nutrition advice.

  • Is Pink Salt Healthier?
    Oct 22 2020

    It's touted in the wellness world as a 'healthier' salt because it's more natural and contains essential minerals. But is this true?  Tara looks at  the latest research by Nutrition Research Australia which examines the levels of nutrients in pink salt, and whether these levels are high enough to warrant it being a healthier salt.  The research also discovers that pink salt contains heavy metals such as aluminium and lead.

    Tara also gives an overview of salt and the effects on the body, and helps you to decide whether pink salt is really worth all the hype.
