3. Removing Morality and Hierarchy from Food ft. Maya Feller

Monday, April 17, 2023 • Duration 46:05

Today I’m joined by the wonderful RD Maya Feller to discuss the nuances of nutrition. We talk food deserts, social determinants of health, dethroning BMI, food apartheid, and the implicit bias and racism in dietetics. We also discuss at length the importance of removing morality and hierarchy from certain food groups, and particularly from cultural foods. We emphasize the important link between food and culture, community and personal identity, and insist on embracing that food is more than just fuel; its culture, history, community and joy. Maya’s new cookbook celebrates the same, and can be found in the links below

1. Debunking Cancer Nutrition Myths ft. Dr. Joe Zundell

Monday, April 3, 2023 • Duration 55:10

There isn’t a person or family unaffected by cancer. The dreaded disease doesn’t discriminate, but there are some cancer-promoting behaviors one can avoid. This is why the desire for knowledge about how diet can contribute to or prevent cancer, is so high. As we know by now, with a public appetite for health, comes misinformation. On this episode I am joined by Dr. Joe Zundell, who is a cancer researcher and scientist. Dr. Joe Zundell is a Ph.D scientist with 10 years of experience in cell and molecular biology techniques. He is passionate about simplifying cancer biology for the public and combating cancer misinformation. We discuss what cancer is, how it grows, and debunk some cancer nutrition myths.

On this episode, my guest Dr. Joe Zundell talks all things cancer and nutrition - what’s proven, distinguishing correlation vs. causation of cancers with certain foods, and addresses the link between clinical obesity and cancer. We cover exacerbating nutritional factors and address myths and misinformation around diet and cancer.

10. Thinness At Any Cost ft. June Burke-MacDonald

Monday, June 5, 2023 • Duration 49:10

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.

9. Diet MLMs aren't your friend ft. Brittany Morgon

Monday, May 29, 2023 • Duration 31:46

When someone promises you health through a supplement that is branded, expensive and part of a pyramid scheme, you should know to run. Diet MLMs (multilevel marketing schemes) aren’t new, but the pushback they’re receiving is, thanks to the likes of Brittany Morgon. A nutrition and fitness coach by day, and a bad-ass MLM slayer by night, Brittany has her boot firmly planted on diet MLMs’ necks. She joins me today to explain how and why these pyramid schemes have such a tight grip on the community’s they prey on, specifically women, mom’s, military families and the chronically ill. She exposes their fearmongering tactics and use of pseudoscience and outlines the financial ruin many of their members succumb to. She also details the dangers of Optavia and the social cost of leaving these MLMs.

8. Challenging Nutrition Pseudoscience is a Full Time Job ft. Andy Miller

Monday, May 22, 2023 • Duration 48:38

RD Andy Miller joins me to discuss the changing landscape of dietetics as it pumps up against social media and its slew of misinformation. We discuss the backlash we face when speaking out against bad actors, and the incalculable damage the likes of Bobby Parrish, Mark Hyman and Jason Fung have on the public’s understanding of health and nutrition. We unpack the insidious trend of wellness advocates putting their children on diets under the guise of “healthy eating” and “portion control education”, and how scientists misappropriate animal studies to launch unfounded attacks on accessible foods.

7. Why I Want You To Eat Processed Foods

Monday, May 15, 2023 • Duration 09:54

You heard me. I want you to eat processed foods! Not necessarily more than other foods, nor as an overrepresentation of your diet, but in the ways you find convenient, balanced, joyful and practical. Because the truth is that most foods are processed, including nutrient dense foods like canned beans, vegetables, tofu and unsweetened yoghurt. In this solo episode I break down the Nova classification system that is responsible for classing foods as “processed” and “ultra-processed”. I explain its limitations and how the classifications are problematic. I illustrate why the foods under these classifications aren’t inherently unhealthy and why they should not be demonized. I outline how many nova-classified foods are actually health promoting, and that ultimately, our diets are greatly impacted by social determinants of health. Ultimately, your diet should support the life that you want for yourself, and joy, culture, convenience and celebration through food is a large part of that.
