By: Tisha Castillo MHP FDN-P NBC-HWC
  • Summary

  • Exposing the Lies That Are Making Us Sicker and Fatter Tired of the endless cycle of diet trends and health fads that promise the world but deliver nothing? Ever wonder why, despite doing all the things you've been told to do, you're not seeing the results you expect, or worse, finding yourself battling unexplained chronic health issues? Welcome to The Sickening Truth, where we peel back the layers of nutrition and health misinformation, masking the truth (like meds for symptoms) about what's really contributing to our chronic health conditions. I'm Tisha (yep, without an 'R'), your Metabolic Health Nutritionist and guide on this journey of discovery. This podcast is all about shining a light on the confusion and contradictions force-fed to us from the world of health and nutrition. It's here we question everything we've been told about how to "get healthy". Each episode zeroes in on the financially driven dietary advice that's left so many of us feeling lost, frustrated, and sick. We'll explore how narratives around food, bolstered by big food and big pharma's misleading marketing, have misled us. This isn't about offering quick fixes or solutions; it's about challenging what you've been taught and learning the truth about the root causes behind the chronic health issues plaguing us today. The podcast lays the groundwork based on the Clarity and Assess stages foundational to my CARE method—aiming to clear the health and nutrition fog and helping you become aware of the misconceptions you've been fed about food and its impact on your health. While we won't dive into the entire CARE method here, these initial steps are crucial for anyone ready to question the status quo and consider a new path to health. If you're ready to open your mind to the possibility that there's a different path to health, The Sickening Truth is your starting line. Let's walk this path together, moving from being unaware of the problems at hand to recognizing the need for a change. To continue these conversations beyond the podcast, follow me on LinkedIn. Tune in, subscribe, and let's start peeling back the layers of confusion together. Remember, understanding the problem is the first step toward changing your health trajectory.
