The podcast dives into the concept of 'food noise,' sparked recently by GLP-1 medications. Hosts explore varying definitions, from Bethany Frankel's perspective to its rise on social media. Personal stories reveal how some report reduced food noise on medication. A scientific lens is applied, examining food-cue reactivity and debating whether food noise is merely a symptom of normal hunger. Cultural implications of who gets to discuss food noise are unpacked, alongside critiques of its commercialization and addiction framing.

Hydration recommendations abound. Some claim we should all be drinking 8 glasses of water daily, while others argue a gallon everyday is beneficial to our health. So how much fluid do you actually need to be drinking in a day? What about water enhancers that claim to hydrate you even faster than water alone? And is there anything to this new trend of drinking hydrogenated water? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dive (pun intended!) into the world of hydration and answer all of these questions and more!Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

Jessie Inchauspé, also known as The Glucose Goddess, burst onto the Instagram scene in 2018, where she began educating people on how to manage their blood sugar and control glucose ‘spikes’.

And are her glucose ‘hacks’ really revolutionary?
