We are joined today but a VERY special guest, Stanford University's Director of Football Performance Nutrition, Seb Zorn, MS, RD, CSSD. You might recognize this last name.. Seb is also Emily's husband!

Seb gives us his insight on "biohacking" - the idea that you can use diets and/or supplements to change your biology for the better. We talk through which concept have a little bit of evidence, which are total quackery, and how much a "bio hack" will really change your health and biology outcomes in the long run.

200 years ago, a Belgian mathematician created an equation to represent the statical bell curve of the population of white men in Western Europe. Today, for some reason, we use this height-for-weight measurement to immediately make judgements on a person's risk for health complications. After our discussion, we feel like it might be time to toss out this archaic measurement.

We also start our episode with a brief continuation of last week's Ozempic conversation, plus we end with a BS PS on Joel Greene's Veep Nutrtion.

This weight loss pharmaceutical is all the rage right now, but do you know its actual purpose? Today we discuss Ozempic and the rise of semaglutide medications for weight loss. Although today's topic is not nutrition related, it is related to diet culture and the pursuit of thinness. Today's BS PS is fertilized eggs: with today's high price of eggs, is it worth the extra few dollars to opt for this option at the grocery store?

Today we continue our documentary  review by taking a magnifying glass to the popular Netflix documentary "The Game Changers". At first glance, this documentary may seem to make a pretty convincing argument for athletes of all kinds to switch to a vegan diet. However, we took a closer look at the evidence cited and found that the arguments crumble under the tiniest scrutiny.

Is the secret to all your health concerns found in a capsule of dehydrated fruits and vegetables? Today we dive in to Juice Plus+, an MLM company with some wild claims about the benefits of the product. Our conversation leads us to talk about other greens powders, juicing, and the benefits of chlorophyll (we promise this episode isn't a bore-ophyll!)

What the health did we just watch... on today's episode, we review the documentary "What the Health", which is basically an hour and a half of bad science and fear mongering. We explain what research actually shows about the vegan diet and consuming animal products as we debunk this mess of a documentary.

We're back starting off the new. year with a bang! Today we are joined with Elaina Efird, a fellow RD, who has within the last few years taken to Instagram and TikTok to fight off the nutrition BS on social media. Elaina has an extensive background of working with chronic dieters at her job at the Kahm Clinic, where she measures the metabolic damage to those who cycle through restrictive eating patterns.  We discuss BMR, what happens metabolically when someone is on and off fad diets, and transition to a conversation about her social media content. This is NOT an episode you want to miss!

Some people claim that you can take a ketone supplement, thrust your body into ketosis, and be a fat burning machine! We say this claim is probably too good to be true... On today's episode we discuss ketones, including the forms of ketone esters, ketone salts, and raspberry ketones. Is burning up body fat as simple as taking a pill, or will we call BS on this supplement?

Today's BS PS is on the supplement UCAN, a powder/gel marketed to runners.
