Personalized Nutrition Part 2: Nutrigenetics (with Dr. Lara Hyde)
46m · PublishedIn the second of this three part series, we’re digging into the world of nutrigenetics. Over the last several years, there has been a huge uptick in companies offering personalized diet recommendations ‘based on your own unique DNA!’. But how evidence-based are companies like GenoPalate? And are there potential downsides of over-focusing on how your DNA interacts with the foods you eat? Join us, two Registered Dietitians (well mostly Matt), as we answer these and a whole host of other questions about the science of Nutrigenetics.

The Great Saturated Fat Debate
57m · PublishedFor decades the advice around saturated fat seemed clear: lowering your intake of saturated fat would lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But about a decade ago, things changed. The carnivore diet gained popularity, Time Magazine featured ‘Butter is Back’ on their cover, and social media became awash with influencers claiming that everything we knew about saturated fat was wrong. With all of these opposing views, what does the research actually tell us about saturated fat and heart disease? Join us, two registered dietitians, as we dig into what has become one of the biggest controversies in the world of nutrition.

The Language of Weight Stigma (with Ragen Chastain)

Matt and Ragen’s conversation emphasizes just how powerful language can be in fueling anti-fat bias.
