Debunking Diet Myths: Personalized Protein and Nutrition Strategies with Kristine James RD, LDN, NBC-HWC


Listen Later

Nutrition can feel overwhelming with all the advice out there - eat less, eat clean, go low-carb, avoid fat, try keto, or eat six meals a day. In this episode, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, and Kristine James, a registered dietitian with HealthspanMD, discuss evidence-based strategies to cut through the noise. From finding a personalized diet to exploring intermittent fasting, macronutrient balance, and processed foods, they offer practical insights to help you thrive. 

Discover how nutrition science aligns with real-life habits and why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. Kristine shares tips on building sustainable dietary changes, debunks common myths like juicing and high-protein diets, and explains how food impacts your health in ways you might not realize.
