Lindsay sits down with Dr. Allen Bacon, a certified nutrition coach, who drops truth bombs on the misconceptions oft-seen on social media. They delve into topics like misconstruing credentials, credibility and follower counts. Drawing from his background in medical science, Dr. Allen admonishes multiple 'good vs bad' fallacies in food and fitness information while advocating for smart omnivore diets and verifiable, peer-reviewed research. He also discusses his career transition from dental surgery to fitness coaching and how people can approach determining a fitness or dietary intervention's success.
