  • Plant Paradox, Greenwashing, and Jeopardy!
    Join Hannah and Tareq for the pre-season finale episode about all things green (and yellow, red, orange, etc.). They address the murky folklore and fake science smatterings about The Plant Paradox Diet and its main enemy: lectins. They're a protein found in many fruits, vegetables, and dairy products but why do lectins get such a bad wrap? Are they really toxic? What are the actual documented adverse effects some people seem to go on about? Tareq and Hannah break it down. BS of the Week: Greenwashing.

  • Coconut Oil & The Health Halo Effect
    Have you ever assumed a product was the healthier choice just because it was labelled low fat? Or gluten-free? Or all-natural? No judgement, we have too! In this episode, Hannah and Tareq define the health halo effect and share some real-life examples. They also talk about why coconut oil has benefitted from this effect and why research shows it isn't the health food it's often made out to be.

  • Food Skills, Diabetes, and Vitamin A

    It's time we sharpened our knives and emptied that one drawer full of rubber bands and talked about food skills! We love talking about nutrition misinformation and giving you the real science behind popular topics. What should accompany that is the important conversations that drive the practicalities of gentle nutrition. Hannah and Tareq get into some cooking tips and food skills and how they learned them, with the hopes that they benefit you or a loved one who isn't so confident in the kitchen. Brain Bite: Diabetic Retinopathy and vitamin A deficiency in the eye.

  • How to Actually Enjoy Exercise

    What is Joyful Movement and how does it compare to regular exercise? Often times exercise is primarily associated with dieting, weight loss and changing our looks. What if we shifted our mindset around exercise to focus on self-care and the benefits that aren’t necessarily weight related? What if we stopped dreading exercise and adopted movement we truly enjoy? By doing these things, could it make exercise easier to do and more sustainable long-term? What counts as movement anyways? Press play to hear our thoughts and tips for adopting joyful movement practices. BS of the Week: “Fruit First”
