It can be hard to look at any packaged food in the grocery store and know if it is healthy or not. Is the candy that is made with real fruit better than candy that does not put that on the label? What is the difference between cage free and free range eggs? What does a good source of fiber really mean? We answer all those questions and more on today's episode.

In today's episode, we look to the literature to answer the questions: Does Leaky Gut Syndrome exist? Why is it such a controversial topic? We end the episode with a BS PS on Berberine. Is it really as effective as Ozempic?

You've probably heard fiber is good (or maybe some carnivore diet folks have told you it's bad), and maybe you associate it with regularity. There are so many types of fibers and so many benefits and considerations, that we decided to dedicate a whole episode to this topic. You may be surprised at what fiber can do in the body!

There are so many protein shakes available on the market. Some claim they are replacements for meals, some claim they will help you lose weight, and everything in between. Today we discuss what to look for in a protein shake and what, if any, might be best for your goals. Today's BS PS is on MLM company ItWorks, where we take a look if their skinny coffees, skinny gummies, body wraps and more. Does It actually Work?

Today we dive into another influencer "Glucose Goddess" who proclaims inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and even "frying yourself from the inside out" is a result of your blood sugar rising after a meal. Do we really need to be constantly concerned about our body's blood sugar numbers, and do we need to follow Glucose Goddess's rules to avoid all chronic diseases?

If you have ever followed Bobby Parrish on social media, you may be overwhelmed at the amount of foods that are poisoning your body! This finance-bro-turned-fear-mongerer would have you believe that almost everything, including certain fruits and vegetables (!!!) are slowly killing us all and should be avoided at all costs (and, of course, replaced with his supplements and products). We take a look at his social media to point out hypocrisies, scary medical advice being touted, and more.
