October 17, 2023 Navigating Nutrition in a Sponsored World
Is it okay for nutrition professionals to have sponsored posts on social media paid for by food industry groups? Are they being unethical by posting their "professional opinion" on a sponsored post?

Do Beth and Jessica have a price they would accept to promote products or ingredients? Listen in to find out.

September 05, 2023 Nutrition & Hormones
This week we are doing a brief chat on how nutrition supports our hormones. We have a lot of hormones to make our body hum and they all require something from the nutrients in the food we eat. So just another friendly reminder that food is more than just controlling your weight. Before we dive into our main topic we discuss the Pendulum probiotics ads. Their marketing went from gut health to weight loss. Grr. Why does everything we market have to be about weight loss? Can’t we just support our guts without a weightloss tease?
