RD Desiree Nielsen joins me to sort the chaff from the wheat, literally. We discuss all things gut health, and delineate the science from the fearmongering, buzzwordy marketing around gut health and microbiomes. She explains how the health industry has taken isolated nutrition truths about gut health and extrapolated, exaggerated and mis-contextualized them to push products and restrictive diets that claim to ‘transform’ your gut. We tackle myths about our microbiomes and discuss the demonization of seed oils. We debunk the efficacy of colonics as well as “probiotics for weight loss” (I’m looking at you Better Body Company!), and shed light on what information is and isn’t fact checked in the nutrition world.

Today’s solo episode is a review of the Optavia diet (formerly Medifast), a 30-year-old diet that, surprisingly, has stood the test of time. I unpack everything from the dangerously low calorie intake and the peddling of diets to teenagers, to the devastating correlation between restrictive food practices, ignoring the body’s internal cues and disordered eating.

The pursuit of thinness at any cost has to stop. In this day and age most of us can see right through irresponsible comments like “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”, but how many of us can identify diet culture disguised as health? Do you know the line between health promoting behaviors and obsessive patterns? How do you get yourself out of food habits that began with good intentions but have now spiraled into compulsion? In today’s episode I’m joined by clinical social worker June Burke-MacDonald, a social worker who specializes in eating disorder recovery, to unpack all things disordered eating, both socially and clinically. We discuss the causes of eating disorders, how to navigate nutrition without dogma, misconceptions about eating disorders, and the insidious nature of calorie tracking. You don’t want to miss this one: if not you, then a friend, or a friend of a friend has been touched by the effects of diet culture and eating disorders disguised as health.
