Episode notes

In this episode, we’re busting some of the biggest health myths that just won’t die. From cholesterol and snacking to intermittent fasting, cortisol, and even the sun — we’re breaking down what’s really true (and what’s just outdated wellness propaganda).

We dive into the science, the context, and the nuance that most headlines miss — because your body deserves more than clickbait advice. You’ll learn why cholesterol isn’t the villain it’s been made out to be, why your metabolism doesn’t need constant snacks to stay “fired up,” how cortisol is actually your ally, and why the sun isn’t your enemy after all.

If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition or wellness info online, this episode is your clarity moment. Tune in as we unpack the myths, share what the latest research really says, and help you see your health from a more holistic, functional lens.
