RDs vs. BS

If you want to lose weight, did you know all you need is $5000 for a brain scan, hundreds of dollars for supplements... and that's it? In this episode, we discuss psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Amen and dietary and weight loss advice. He's been described in the mental health industry as a "snake oil salesman", but is his nutrition advice BS?

Our BS PS is a Patreon preview, where we each give 2 pieces of advice that have worked for us to make healthy eating easier.
