HUM Nutrition: WellYES The Feel-Good Wellness Podcast

What every woman needs to know about cholesterol — but was never told 🩸

In this episode of Well Yes, the HUM Podcast, Walter (co-founder of HUM Nutrition) and Sarah Greenfield (Functional Medicine Dietitian) break down cholesterol through a woman's health lens — one of the most misunderstood topics in modern medicine.

Spoiler: cholesterol isn't the villain you've been told it is. And for women, the story is far more nuanced than "high is bad, low is good."

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ What cholesterol actually is — and why your body needs it (hormones, brain health, vitamin D & more)

✅ LDL vs. HDL vs. ApoB vs. Triglycerides — what each marker really means

✅ How cholesterol changes across a woman's lifespan — reproductive years, pregnancy & perimenopause

✅ Why birth control can impact your lipid panel — what to know & who to talk to

✅ The perimenopause cholesterol shift — why LDL rises when estrogen drops, and what to do about it

✅ Why women have been left out of cardiovascular research — and why it matters for your care

✅ The best blood work panel to actually understand your heart health risk

✅ Myth-busting: Are eggs bad for cholesterol? Is low cholesterol always better? Does normal total cholesterol mean you're in the clear?

✅ RD Rapid Fire: 10 cholesterol habits rated 1–10 by a functional medicine dietitian

In this episode of Well Yes, the HUM Podcast, Walter (CEO of HUM Nutrition) and Sarah Greenfield (Functional Medicine Dietitian) tackle the question millions of people are asking: how do you keep the weight off after stopping Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP-1 medications?

Research shows that 50–60% of people regain weight after stopping GLP-1s — but it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why weight comes back after stopping semaglutide (and how "food noise" plays a role)

✅ What to eat — the ideal balanced plate for blood sugar stability & satiety

✅ The #1 nutrient most Americans are deficient in (hint: it naturally boosts your GLP-1 levels)

✅ Why muscle loss is a hidden danger of GLP-1-assisted weight loss — and how to prevent it

✅ Lifestyle habits that support weight maintenance: strength training, stress management, sleep hygiene & nervous system regulation

✅ Myth-busting: Can you only get GLP-1 from medication? Will it keep weight off forever?

✅ RD Rapid Fire ratings: What actually works after you stop your GLP-1 (rated 1–10 by a dietitian)

Whether you're currently on Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro — or you've already stopped — this episode gives you a practical, science-backed roadmap to sustaining your results long-term.

Artificial intelligence is transforming health and wellness—from personalized nutrition plans and wearables to symptom checkers and AI health coaches. But is AI making us healthier or just more confused?

In this episode of the HUM Podcast (Well Yes), Walter Falstrouh and RD Sarah Greenfield break down the real science behind AI in healthcare, the benefits, the risks, and how to use AI responsibly for nutrition, fitness, and longevity.

We explore how AI is shaping personalized nutrition, tracking biometrics through wearable technology, and even influencing how we think about prevention and chronic disease management. But we also get honest about the limitations—algorithm bias, misinformation, over-reliance on tech, and the danger of outsourcing your intuition to an app.

In this conversation, we cover:

• How AI is changing personalized nutrition and supplement recommendations

• The pros and cons of wearable health trackers

• Can AI replace your doctor or dietitian?

• Where AI improves health outcomes—and where it falls short

• How to use AI tools without increasing anxiety or information overload

• The future of longevity, data, and predictive wellness

The bottom line? AI can be an incredibly powerful tool—but it works best when paired with critical thinking, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of your own body.

If you’re curious about the future of health tech, personalized medicine, and smarter wellness strategies, this episode will give you a grounded, science-forward perspective—without the hype.

We all grew up staring at the food pyramid in health class — memorizing grains at the bottom, fats at the top, and wondering why nutrition felt so confusing. But the food pyramid is back… and this time, it looks very different.

In this episode, we break down how the food pyramid has evolved from 1992 to MyPlate to today’s upside-down, plant-forward model — and why this shift has huge implications for how we think about carbohydrates, protein, fats, and overall health.

We dive into:

1. Why carbs were misunderstood (and unfairly villainized)
2. How protein became overemphasized — and what really matters instead
3. The difference between food quantity vs. food quality
4. Why plants now sit at the foundation of modern nutrition guidance
5. How to apply this framework in real life — without dieting, fear, or food rules

This isn’t about trends. It’s about context, evolution, and learning how to eat in a way that supports long-term health, energy, and joy.

🎙️ Tune in, rethink what you were taught, and decide for yourself what deserves to be at the base of your plate.
