In this very special edition of the Random Show, Jackson sits down with Allen Saakyan - a polymath, empath, and passionate science communicator. He's the founder of the Eureka! comedy series that aims to make complex issues in science relatable through humor and entertainment. We discuss the importance of science communication in nutrition and beyond in the Mission District of San Francisco. We also broadcasted this live on Facebook if you want to see the video: bit.ly/2hIaxyW

Hey there, long time no talk! Quick episode sharing my brand new podcast, In The Flow, for the awesome listeners of TFF (if you're still subscribed!). I really think you'll like it, as I'll cover a lot of the same ideas as TFF and will have a very similar feel. I'd be honored if you checked it out and subscribed on Apple Podcasts and wherever else you get your podcasts. You can also check out my website at http://intheflownutrition.com and sign up for my newsletter. Onwards and upwards to the next adventure!

Introducing In The Flow


It's time to close the chapter that is Thought For Food. It's been an incredible experience, and one that has changed the course of both of our lives tremendously. However, this is just a stepping stone to bigger things, and we aren't going anywhere. We have new projects on the horizon, new ideas, and we plan on making more epic shit happen very soon.  We're also keeping the Thought For Food Club alive so keep having awesome conversations.



We're hugely grateful for the support, whether it's through simply listening to the podcast, to interacting in our Facebook group, to supporting our work through Patreon. Thank you for being a part of this project, and we wish you the best of luck on your own journey through this amazing life we all get to live. 



Love, 



Jackson and Aaron

Favorite Books of 2018!






Trying out a new idea for a series on the podcast this week! Between school and just my nerdy interests, I read and synthesize a lot of scientific papers. So, if I find a paper that I find particularly interesting or of value and relevance to the podcast audience, I will dissect it on the show. One of the goals of this podcast is to create a more scientifically literate community so that we may wade through the murky and confusing waters of nutrition science. 



First up is a review published in the journal Science written by renowned sports scientist Louise Burke. The paper, titled Swifter, higher, stronger: What's on the menu? is a deep dive into the latest research as it relates to fueling the endurance athlete. She and her co-author John Hawley discuss carbohydrates vs. fat as fuel, supplements, relative energy deficiency in sport, and more. So I talk about it. Let me know what you think!
