In this episode, I sit down with registered Dietitian Doug Chironno, MS, RDN for a follow-up conversation on salt, sodium, and heart health—cutting through the noise to focus on what actually matters.

Together, we dive into:

* The history of salt and how it became a dietary staple

* Recommended sodium limits and how excess intake impacts blood pressure

* Practical, evidence-based strategies for lowering sodium without sacrificing flavor

* How herbs, spices, and salt-free seasonings can elevate heart-healthy cooking

Building on Doug’s recent community nutrition workshops, this episode translates nutrition science into real-world guidance you can actually use—whether you’re cooking at home, grocery shopping, or focused on long-term heart health.

If you’re interested in nutrition education, heart health, aging well, or simple, sustainable dietary strategies, this episode is for you.
