RD Desiree Nielsen joins me to sort the chaff from the wheat, literally. We discuss all things gut health, and delineate the science from the fearmongering, buzzwordy marketing around gut health and microbiomes. She explains how the health industry has taken isolated nutrition truths about gut health and extrapolated, exaggerated and mis-contextualized them to push products and restrictive diets that claim to ‘transform’ your gut. We tackle myths about our microbiomes and discuss the demonization of seed oils. We debunk the efficacy of colonics as well as “probiotics for weight loss” (I’m looking at you Better Body Company!), and shed light on what information is and isn’t fact checked in the nutrition world.
