QUESTIONS I ASK STEPHANIE IN THE EPISODE:

When you see a news headline that says something like "Coffee Is Bad For You," what's your train of thought?

Can you explain the nature of nutrition research? Why does it lead to conflicting headlines?

How can we know if people we follow on social media are trustworthy sources? How can we become more savvy consumers of news headlines and social media posts?

What are some of the biggest nutrition misconceptions you see circulating right now?

Do you have a favorite evidence-based nutrition book? Do you subscribe to any emails that send you research summaries (like Examine.com)?

What do you wish more people knew about nutrition? (I loved your 3-part series on this!)

Can you explain how a term like "hormone balancing" is so much more complex than people suggest?
