Nearly everyone has an opinion on nutrition.

Listening to everyone's opinion will leave you confused and overwhelmed.

So how do we know what to listen to and who to trust?

In this episode, I discuss the difference between opinion-based and evidence-based nutrition. 

And discuss why you must get your information from people providing evidence for their claims and not just giving their opinion.

I have a great episode for you all today!

My guest, Andrea Ellis, is going to tell her story of building a very profitable integrative health coaching business and deciding to shut it all down after "seeing behind the curtain". 

She explains how her chronic health condition led her to feel unserved by conventional medicine which led her to seek alternative health solutions and sparked her to become a health coach herself. 

She describes the training that she went through to be "qualified" to start running labs and the experiences that led her to realize that much of the functional medicine space was built on misinformation and hypocrisy. 

This is going to be an eye opening episode for so many people!

Welcome back!

In this episode, I discuss the future of the podcast and my thoughts about how we can make evidence-based nutrition a more integrated part of the healthcare system.

When I first started working online, I joined several marketing programs to learn how to build a business. 

Through those experiences I learned some of the insider tactics for "persuading" people and in this episode I break down some of those tactics to help you to identify them when they are being used on you.

In this episode we are going to talk about a topic that is a lot more controversial than I realized: artificial sweeteners.

Artificial sweeteners have been used as an alternative to sugar for decades and over the years various claims have popped up about their safety and potential negative health effects.

Today, we are going to review some of the science examining those  claims and discuss whether these can be a part of a healthy diet or if you should avoid these food additives as much as you can.
