Plant-based nutrition for hormone health with Rohini Bajekal MSc 1:07:25

1M ago1:07:25

1:07:25

If you’ve been inundated with people talking about hormone health online, you’re not alone… it’s definitely a big trend. And in some ways, I am happy it is. As a dietitian, I know how common reproductive issues like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are and I also know how little we talk about them. But there is another side to thi…

1M ago58:33

58:33

Our bodies are meant to change…which means the way we care for them might need to change too. For women over the age of 40, who have entered the menopause transition (AKA perimenopause) there are shifts in our minds, muscles and metabolism function that might have us wondering what the heck is going on. And if so, this is the episode for you. We ar…

The Science of Menopause with Dr Nitu Bajekal MD 1:11:01

2M ago1:11:01

1:11:01

If you’re the proud owner of a pair of ovaries, and you’re “of a certain age” you may have noticed that things are starting to change. Could it be…perimenopause??? It can be hard to talk about perimenopause and the menopause transition…not the least of which is that there is still such a ridiculous stigma about women getting older. Like it’s a “use…

Wondering if you’ve got irritable bowel syndrome? Or, newly diagnosed and trying to figure out what the heck it all means?

Probiotics 101 with Bailey Hanna RD 58:31

4M ago58:31

58:31

Of all of the supplements on the shelf, by far the most complicated ones are probiotics. How complicated? Even health professionals don’t always fully understand them! Because probiotics aren’t just one thing: every individual strain of probiotics - or combination of strains - is a totally unique entity so we can’t just paint them all with the same…

Comfort Baking with Blogger Amanda Paa 52:11

5M ago52:11

52:11

When the going gets tough, do you get going… right into the kitchen? What is it about baking that is so deeply satisfying and comforting? I mean, eating your baking is deeply comforting but what about the act of baking itself? Why do so many of us reach for our apron when we need to chill? It was these questions and more that drove my conversation …

Nutrition for Heart Health with Dr Adrian Chavez PhD 58:38

6M ago58:38

58:38

As a dietitian on the internet, it’s not lost on me that there is a MAJOR difference in what people want to see versus what will actually make the biggest difference in their health. Case in point: the enormous amount of content debating the “dangers” of oats or the “benefits” of colostrum and how so very few people actually talk about heart health…

Is sugar bad for you? Solo ep with Desiree 45:04

7M ago45:04

45:04

Sugar: the stuff of celebratory birthday cakes and wellness myth.

Culture, Connection and Community with Asha Wheeldon 45:16

8M ago45:16

45:16

Growing up, life happened around my grandparent’s kitchen table. Food formed the rhythm of our days…so I feel a special connection to others who share that love of connecting over a meal. And a few years ago, I had the pleasure of connecting with our guest, Asha Wheeldon, over a meal that she co-hosted with a mutual friend. Especially at this time …

Feed Your Cravings with Sam Turnbull 44:29

8M ago44:29

44:29

If you’re one of those folks who shies away from vegan food because you love all the eggy, cheesy, meaty goodness of omnivore life…well, I get it. I was a vegetarian for a looooong time because I couldn’t imagine not eating cheese. I think that’s probably one of the biggest misconceptions about vegans and plant-based eaters: no one goes vegan becau…

1:03:49

There are few things that unite us as much as a good loaf of bread. Humans have been consuming the stuff for thousands of years, starting with the the preparation of simple flatbreads from wild grains to the large scale production of breads from domesticated wheats in ancient Egypt…quite literally, bread in all its forms, from tortilla to naan to b…

Busting Wellness Myths about Anxiety with Dr Nicole Lippman-Barile PhD 51:19

10M ago51:19

51:19

Feeling anxious lately? I don’t know about you…but my mental health went down the toilet in 2020. I’ve always been anxious by nature but since turning 40 - which was followed closely by the pandemic - I’ve had to make my mental health more of a priority and I know I’m not alone: according to the world health organization, global prevalence of anxie…

Hold on to your knickers: the number of people with irritable bowel syndrome is now roughly 11% of the world’s population. Yep, you read that right. This is something that a LOT of people are dealing with, and as a gut health dietitian with IBS herself, I see everyday how much confusion and misinformation there is out there about what IBS actually …

Navigating Baby's First Foods with Nita Sharda RD 52:27

1y ago52:27

52:27

I don’t know about you…but I thought a LOT less about my food choices before I had kids. And I am a dietitian, so that’s saying a lot! Navigating baby’s first foods can feel a bit overwhelming because there are so many differing opinions out there: finger foods vs purees, baby led weaning, sippy cups or no…with our first born, we invest so much ene…

How do you know if you want kids? With Keltie Maguire 1:10:28

1y ago1:10:28

1:10:28

How do you know if you want to have kids? As far as adulting goes, having children is the biggest commitment a human can make. I mean, you can change careers, sell that condo, move across the planet or even get help in caring for elderly parents…so it’s kind of interesting that there is relatively little dialogue about the decision to have children…

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the most misunderstood - and overlooked - endocrine disorders affecting women and those assigned female at birth.
