RDs vs. BS – Details, episodes & analysis

We are BACK! After our summer break, we are back, today to discuss digestive enzymes and digestive enzyme supplements: what are they, who can they help, and should we all be taking them? Our BS PS covers the controversy with Spring Awesome's Awesome Sauce energy gel for marathon and ultra runners, and the consequences of nutrition facts panels being over 50% off actual values!

Oprah is an undisputed icon, and celebrated philanthropist.. and unfortunately, also, one of the biggest pushers of diet culture. Today we discuss her recent "turn around" on this topic... but did she really turn this discussion around? Our BS PS is on Purium, a "Mother Nature centered" MLM company that shill far-from-anything-natural supplements and powders. 

This is our last episode for the summer, but be sure to hang out with us over on Patreon!

In another two-parter episode, we first discuss the French based app Yuka, which determines whether a food is "excellent", "good", "poor" or "bad". These classifications are based on the same criteria as the European Nutriscore classification system. We discuss what we think of this government backed program, and whether we recommend this classification app. Second, we discuss the MLM Thrive by Le-vel, which sells (this isn't a joke) health stickers. Take a listen to what we have to think about the product line of this company.

Gluten - we're all avoiding it in the name of health, but do most people even know what it is? In this episode, we talk about what gluten is, what it does in the food and in the body, and who, if anybody, should be avoiding it. But don't worry, this episode is certified gluten-free! Our BS PS looks at Magic Mind, a 2oz liquid supplement that claims all kinds of magic and wellness.

We've probably all heard of WW (the diet program previously known as Weight Watchers). But what is a dietitian's take on this program? Is it worth trying if weight loss is your goal, or is it all just BS. Check out our NEW segment at the beginning of the episode called "Sh*t at the Grocery Store", and wait until the end for our BS PS about cholesterol and eggs.

Creatine - it's not just for bulking at the gym. In this episode, we talk about this supplement's purpose in sport, and potential other health benefit. We also put to bed some long-held myths about creatine. In today's BS PS, we were asked what do we take and not consider BS? Be sure to stick around to hear about fish oil, turmeric, multivitamins, glucosamine, and more!

In this two-fer episode, we turn the clock back to the mid 2000's when diets like "eat cereal all day" was somehow just completely accepted. The 2000's saw some pretty wild diet trends, and we enjoyed taking a look at these two programs.

This one's a doozy folks...having not really looked too deeply into the rules or background of this popular diet, we didn’t realize just how bad this diet really is until we delved into it. Get ready for us to come out swinging!

To egg or not to egg.. that has been one of nutrition's biggest questions over the last 30 years. Today, we discuss the current state of literature regarding blood cholesterol. Does eating cholesterol from foods like eggs increase your blood cholesterol? Is it actually sugar that is the culprit? What even is cholesterol?
Our BS PS is on the somehow even MORE restrictive version of the carnivore diet: the Lion Diet. Can this diet really cure your mental health?
