Real World Nutrition

Have you ever found yourself judging food choices? 

The food choices of others? 

Your own food choices? 

Both? 

This isn’t just observing what other people are eating but also commenting on their choices, either in your head or out loud. 

In today’s episode, I address why we should not shame people about their food choices and even consider how we judge our choices.

Have you heard of IV therapy?

IV therapy is getting intravenous fluids outside a medical or hospital setting for therapeutic use and not for medical "need."

But recently, it seems like it is advertised a lot more. So what is it and is it beneficial> 

Anyone who's ever been to the hospital, emergency department, or urgent care (or even seen this sort of thing on television) knows that an IV is a common way for the medical staff to deliver medications and assist with overall hydration. 

IV therapy is available outside of this setting for apparently healthy people at medical spas, wellness centers, and even in your own home (not self-administered, but someone coming to your home to administer it).

Are you familiar with the term “clean eating” and what it means? 

There is no official definition of clean eating. 

Many "diets" or ways of eating are flexible, and the approach varies based on the individual. However, people generally consider "clean eating" as eating foods in their most natural state possible. At least, that's what I've gleaned from individuals and a search for this term on the internet.

The term "clean eating" is so vague it is difficult to quantify what it is AND if this is a healthier way to eat. 

And based on these definitions and my experience, I find people who claim that they "eat clean" don't do it all the time. And will have a long list of exceptions.

I take a look are the various iterations of clean eating and whether it is healthier and sustainable.

For many years, I’ve heard people spouting the benefits of coconut oil. There are all kinds of claims related to coconut oil and how it can prevent heart disease, treat Alzheimer’s disease, is antibacterial and antimicrobial, and can treat cancer. Even help hormone balance and cure diabetes? And help with hair and skin. 

Coconut oil is the best oil under the sun, and we should buy it by the bucketful. Or should we?
