10.25.2023 What is the future of bariatric surgery? A new class of obesity medications is revolutionizing obesity care. Will this make bariatric surgery obsolete?
10.18.2023 How to build a better salad in 6 steps A big salad can be the healthiest meal of your day. But it’s also possible for salads to miss the mark. Here are six steps that will help you build the perfect salad.
10.11.2023 Ozempic plateaus, muscle loss, and more I want to address some headlines that I’ve seen in the past couple of weeks regarding Ozempic, the diabetes (and, now, weight loss) drug that’s already been the subject of a lot of sensational coverage this year.

09.13.2023 How to get calcium into your bones (and out of your arteries) High-dose calcium supplements have been linked to heart risks. Are calcium-fortified foods any better?

07.26.2023 Are we depleting the soil of crucial nutrients? Today’s topic is one that I covered over ten years ago—the claim that today’s fruits and vegetables are less nutritious than they were in previous generations, due to nutrient depletion of the soil they are grown in.
07.21.2023 Celebrating 15 years of Nutrition Diva A special bonus conversation between three long-time podcasters at Quick and Dirty Tips.

07.05.2023 Farm-raised vs wild-caught fish When you get to the fish counter, you've got some decisions to make.
06.28.2023 What is berberine and who should be taking it? What research we have on berberine is primarily in the context of managing elevated blood sugar levels. And the results have been promising.

05.17.2023 Prediabetes: Is it really a lifestyle disease? Registered Dietitian Jill Weisenberger joins me to talk about prediabetes: how it’s diagnosed, what that means for your health, and what you can do to reverse the condition.
05.10.2023 How to lower high triglycerides Both cholesterol and triglyceride levels can be affected by your diet and lifestyle—and lifestyle modification is always the first step, before pharmaceutical interventions.

02.08.2023 We’re losing the sodium wars—but potassium could help turn the tide Asking people to focus on what you want them to eat more of is often more effective than having them focus on what you want them to eat less of.
02.01.2023 New research on risks and benefits of drinking alcohol Let's clear up some common misconceptions about alcoholic beverages and review some new research on the risks and benefits of regular consumption.

01.11.2023 Are keto-friendly products a healthy way to increase fiber? In order to create low-carb candy and bread, manufacturers replace sugar with artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols. As a result, a lot of keto-friendly foods are quite high in fiber.
