On the release of this episode, it didn’t feel right to ignore or fail to address the tragic, heartbreaking developments in Ukraine.Depending on our schedules, we often pre-record our episodes before they goes live and for this reason, we haven’t acknowledged the devastating events that are currently unfolding in this upcoming episode.  While we’re still not entirely sure what we can do to help in even the smallest way, we are currently speaking with trusts and charities on how best to bring more light to the situation and share with you. Unfortunately, time isn’t always on our side and we haven’t been able to make this happen as quickly as we would have hoped. We’re sending love out to everyone and hope that we can help direct you to channels that share the facts on the situation and also what we as individuals can do to help.This week, we grill Dr. Joshua Wolrich on common dieting misconceptions. He busts myths about sugar, gluten, diet coke and even microwaves...You can find Dr. Josh's book here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1120378/food-isn_t-medicine/9781785043451.htmlAnd you can follow him on Instagram @drjoshuawolrichShow timestamps:Good, Bad & Awkward - 00:02:20Interview with Dr. Joshua Wolrich - 00:18:40Is It Just Me? - 01:17:00Follow us on Instagram @shouldideletethatEmail us at shouldideletethatpod@gmail.comSponsored by Butternut Box - visit www.butternutbox.com/alexandem for 50% off your first two boxesProduced & edited by Daisy GrantMusic by Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.
