Space, the final frontier! Have you ever wondered how the nutrition needs of an astronaut change when they enter space?

Diet foods have been around in some shape or form for well over a hundred years. Whether they are low-calorie, low-fat, low-carb, or claim to possess some type of magical fat-burning property, diet foods are staple of diet culture. But just how have diet foods changed throughout the decades? And how exactly might they impact our relationship with food? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we answer these questions and take a romp through some of the most infamous diet food trends of the past century.

In the final installment of this three-part series we’re digging into the world of metabolic response testing. Currently, there seems to be increasing emphasis on the importance of understanding your unique response to macronutrients, especially carbs and fat. Companies like Zoe are encouraging everyone to wear continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) while influencers like the Glucose Goddess are extolling the virtues of flattening your glucose curve. But is personalized metabolic response testing necessary for everyone? And do these expensive programs lead to clinically significant health improvements? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore these questions (and more) in this look at personalized metabolic response testing.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

In the second of this three part series, we’re digging  into the world of nutrigenetics. Over the last several years, there has been a huge uptick in companies offering personalized diet recommendations ‘based on your own unique DNA!’. But how evidence-based are companies like GenoPalate? And are there potential downsides of over-focusing on how your DNA interacts with the foods you eat? Join us, two Registered Dietitians (well mostly Matt), as we answer these and a whole host of other questions about the science of Nutrigenetics. Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?
