PMS Superfoods plus Wellness Scams & $90 Hot Chocolates: What’s Worth It (and What’s Not)


Listen Later

Are you paying $90 for "influencer-approved" collagen or magnesium blends (that cost just cents to make)?

In this explosive episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell expose the truth behind overpriced wellness supplements — including why some $90 “hot chocolates” and $5-per-serve hydration drinks are nothing more than marketing spin.

Then, they unpack new research that’s a game-changer for women’s health: a study just published in The Journal of Nutrition shows that PMS symptoms can be reduced by up to 41% — simply by adding more nuts, seeds, and legumes into your diet. Meanwhile, giving in to PMS sugar cravings might make symptoms 33% worse.

Also in this episode:

  • Aldi soup review: The $2.99 pantry staple that punches above its weight

  • High-protein milk drinks: convenient or ultra-processed minefield?

  • The supplement ingredients you should never overpay for

  • Why Designed by Dietitians keeps ingredient sourcing and clinical doses transparent — unlike many trending brands

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the supplement aisle or frustrated by the health promises plastered across social media, this is your no-BS guide to smarter, evidence-based choices.
