Food, We Need To Talk

Stanford Scientist Breaks Down Health Trends


Listen Later

In this bonus episode, we’re back with Dr. Rachele Pojednic for one of our favorite games: Overrated vs. Underrated — wellness edition. Rachele gives brutally honest takes on cold plunges, wearables like Oura and Whoop, continuous glucose monitors, greens powders, zone 2 training, and IV drips. You’ll hear what she thinks is genuinely useful, what’s wildly overhyped, and what the science still doesn’t know yet. (Yes, she straight-up says cold plunges are overrated and greens powders are a hard no.) If you love hot takes and you want to stop wasting money on wellness nonsense, you’re going to love this one.
