Tina Gowin Carlucci is in the studio this week! My first in-house guest for the podcast, and her first time podcasting. We talk about her baby Burrito, entrepreneur lessons, and of course, some actual nutrition topics.

Allison Tepper, another DC-based dietitian, joins me this week. We cover topics ranging from Whole30 to weight stigma to Leonardo DiCaprio's latest sustainability recommendation. In the nutrition news: - Things we should talk about more: Weight discrimination and health - Why Leonardo DiCaprio thinks farmed fish is a fresh choice (and we don't necessarily disagree) - The many things you're doing right (permission to ignore the list of "nutrition mistakes" made) Allison: www.teppernutrition.com | Twitter: @AllisonMTepper Heather: heathercaplan.com

Kelly Jones is back! And Bob Harper has reentered our lives. It was a weird week for nutrition... In the nutrition news: It's National Nutrition Month. What does "Put Your Best Fork Forward" mean? What can we learn from Bob Harper's heart attack? Why are we still (un)scrambling the nutrition content of eggs? FDA says we can chime in on how to define "healthy," so, whatcha think? (Bonus! A thing about cookie dough. We're INTERESTED.)

In this episode, we bond over a mutual distaste for the idea that dietitians don't eat french fries. In the nutrition news: The article that poses an odd question: is sugar or salt worse for you? The study that gives us an interesting insight into the many benefits of gut health, including a good night's rest The top cardiologist who is "blasting" nutrition guidelines, and why

This week’s RD Real Talk guest is Kim Hoban, of KHNutrition.com. We met two years ago, on an almond tour in California (because sometimes RDs take trips to learn about almonds). Now, we talk almost every week. This time it happened to be recorded! In the nutrition news: A bleeding plant-based burger is one food scientist’s solution to eating less meat. We’re not totally convinced. Some other (behavioral, computer, and exercise) scientists are in a fight against health apps, and the 10,000 steps per day theory. The ideal world of eating every vegetable (and fish) you buy before it goes to waste is not the world we live in. We share some real talk about our recent food purchases and subsequent waste. It happens. (But it doesn’t have to!)
