The one and only Jenny Hutt– host of the Just Jenny  show on SiriusXM (Stars Channel 109)-- joins me today for some real talk about her 70lb weight-loss (and maintenance); the backlash she’s encountered for posting “What I Eat In A Day” content on Instagram & TikTok, and the current landscape about and around food and health on social media. Jenny’s got a few q’s for me (she can’t help it! It’s what she does for a living!) about the dynamics of anti-diet dietitians & influencers vs. other practitioners online; the nuances of clinical judgment, and another podcast we’re both listening to right now (ahem, Fed Up). Plus, we talk about Jenny’s experience with gaining and losing weight through her teens, 20’s and 30’s; why she decided to take meaningful, lasting action to start living the life she really wanted at age 39– and how she’s navigated taking care of her mental health after suffering a rib injury earlier this summer.

When creators on TikTok & users of Reddit shared their serious gastrointestinal symptoms (ranging from abdominal pain to hospitalization and ultimately, gallbladder surgery) after eating a product made by vegan food delivery service, Daily Harvest, national news coverage escalated and nearly 500 formal complaints were filed to the FDA. My guest today is Lisa Bruno, MS, RD, dietitian and nutrition communications pro who was also affected by the outbreak. We get into the details on Lisa experience as a Daily Harvest customer; what to know about foodborne illness outbreaks; what brands, food product marketers, and PR pros can learn from the mishandling of this disturbing event, and how to stop something like this from happening in the future. This episode is a MUST-LISTEN if you’re interested in PR, marketing, communications, and brand strategy, including some best practices on how to move forward if you/your employer is “canceled.”

Nicole is a Registered Dietitian, founder of Nicole Groman Nutrition, fellow native New Yorker, and the brains behind @thehungryclementine on Instagram, and also my former (rockstar) intern! Working in the fitness industry after college, Nicole struggled with her relationship with food– and credits her own grad school education in clinical nutrition and work in therapy in helping her heal.

Today,  she works with clients to help them find food freedom and build  healthier relationships with food and their health from a weight-neutral standpoint.

We chat about: Our shared confusion about “adrenal fatigue;” celebrity diets of the ‘00’s and how coverlines on the topic helped sell magazines, and why TikTok is the new tabloid. Plus, we chat about what a “weight-neutral” approach actually means (and sounds like in practice). This episode is pure GOLD– I can’t wait for you to hear more from Nicole!

Today I’m chatting with Keri Gans, MS, RD, an NYC-based dietitian, author, yoga instructor & host of The Keri Report Podcast. She’s zoom-ing in from her countryside retreat to talk about: The non-judgmental role of R.D.’s as practitioners (and how that’s antithetical to current social media algorithms); our favorite ways to eat pizza & drink martinis; how it’s possible to love a restaurant (even when the food is downright mediocre); the joys of a great diner breakfast, and why our profession needs to give a little less power to singular data points (e.g. the number on the scale & the word “calories.”) As two self-proclaimed skincare junkies, we also spent some time on collagen supplements; Hailey Bieber’s Strawberry Glaze smoothie, & vitamin C.

Welcome, listeners! Today I’m diving into my bread and butter (so to speak), and talking about some trends on the rise in food & nutrition content marketing: What transparency means (and what it looks like); search terms & keywords on TikTok, Google, Reddit; what problems are on the rise from creators, “niche-ing down,” and “wellness-influencer” culture's impact on credibility & subject-matter expertise.

I’ve also got a quick  product marketing case study comparing the health claims of the ever-popular Olipop vs. KIND Snacks, and give my ONE fool-proof way to make sure you’re creating and purchasing food products that are actually tasty & nutritious.

This episode is for everyone, but especially YOU if you work in brand marketing, food & beverage, or consumer health & lifestyle media.

Laura is a Los Angeles-based, U.K.-born-and-raised personal trainer who you probably already follow on TikTok (and if not, you will be by the end of this episode). Her bullsh*t free approach is refreshing and right up my alley, so I KNOW my listeners are going to LOVE this episode. We discuss: Toxic food and fitness marketing myths on social media; starting a new career in the fitness industry; why Laura’s work as a trainer does NOT include weight-specific goals, and how her past life as a flight attendant impacted her personal health. 

Q&A: What are the “hateful eight” and should you avoid them?

Welcome to one of my favorite episodes to date. Nick Davis is one of my best buds & the CEO & Founder of Gridmarket, a digital platform that designs customized energy plans for international governments, corporations, universities, and facilities to create efficiencies, cut cost, and optimize energy security. We discuss: Nick’s bio(qua-)hackery (& what’s problematic about it…); why the cost of gas is so insane right now (and what we can actually do about it), and why words like “clean” and “natural” are vague and misleading in both food / nutrition and energy efficiency. Reminder that Nick’s supplement regimen is actively NOT endorsed by yours truly, but otherwise… ENJOY! ;)

Listeners, welcome back! I’m here with Toni Marinucci, host of the Tips with Toni Podcast– she’s as joyful and wise as I could have hoped for on a Friday afternoon. We discuss: The overlap between dating and dieting– why they’re so similar, what we get wrong about the “honeymoon phase,” and what to do when we’re feeling totally burned out and spiraling. We also cover confidence– how to build it, where to find more of it, and why we all need to stop WAITING to live our damn lives.
