For most of us, the secret life of pets was just that  - a secret!  Now that we're all spending more time with them, we have so many questions!  Veterinarian Marianne Bailey, from Queenstown Veterinary Hospital, joins us to discuss the top questions she has been receiving  including sleep, physical activity, stress from having people around all the time, and, of course, what and how much they should be eating. We'll also talk about how COVID 19 affects our pets and the role, if any, pets play in transmission.

Ethan Soloviev, from HowGood, and Steven Jennings, Giant's health and sustainability lead, join the nutritionist to discuss how to shop more sustainably using the HowGood rating system, how COVID 19 is affecting the health of the planet, and what Giant is doing to be socially and environmentally responsible in every aisle.

Staying in place to prevent the spread of Coronavirus is a lot like being snowed-in, it makes you think more about toilet paper, getting outside and cooking at home. Meteorologist Justin Berk and his weather wife Shannon join the nutritionist to talk about their unique social distancing, what they put in their shopping cart prior to staying in place, and what they cook when they are stuck at home with the kids.

For National Nutrition Month and International women’s Month, Julie Reisler, author of Get a PhD in You, a two time Tedx speaker and host of the podcast "The You-est You" joins the nutritionists to discuss how we can be our most authentic selves particularly when it comes to how we nourish our body and mind.

Scott Maher, Registered Dietitian and Director of Sports Nutrition at the U.S. Naval Academy, joins the nutritionist to talk about March Madness, how to feed elite college athletes, and his thoughts on the recent documentary "Game Changers" which encourages athletes to go more plant based.

Physician Assistant Nadia Richmond and Fitness blogger Alexis Reed join the Giant nutritionists for a discussion on why diversity in the health and wellness space is crucial to long term health outcomes in our communities. #NationalNutritionMonth

Join the in-store nutritionists for a discussion on the relationship between food and anemia. Learn how simple dietary changes can help to prevent iron-deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia.

Shopping list for anemia prevention: 

· Iron. Iron-rich heme foods include meat, poultry, seafood and shellfish. Non-heme sources include beans, lentils, iron-fortified cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, and dried fruit. 

· Folate. Found in fruits and fruit juices, dark green leafy vegetables, green peas, kidney beans, peanuts, and enriched grain products, such as bread, cereal, pasta and rice. 

· Vitamin B-12. Foods rich in vitamin B-12 include meat, dairy products, and fortified cereal, soy product and Nutritional Yeast. 

· Vitamin C. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits and juices, peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, melons and strawberries. These also help increase iron absorption.
