For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Episode 100: How Much Protein is Too Much? 9:50

4 days ago9:50

9:50

In this episode, I chat about the difference between getting enough protein and getting the right amount for you . I break down why those standard government guidelines around protein might keep you out of deficiency, sure—but they’re not necessarily helping you feel your best, especially if your goals include things like holding onto muscle, managing your appetite, or just having more energy day-to-day. I also touch on how your ideal protein intake depends on your body and your goals—it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all thing. And while I’m all for people getting enough protein, I also think we need to chill out a bit with the obsession over it. Not every snack needs to be packed with protein powder. So in short: more protein might help, but it’s all about balance.

Episode 99: Are Fake Meats Healthy? 8:32

11 days ago8:32

8:32

In this conversation, I dive into the whole fake meat thing—what’s actually in them, how they stack up nutritionally, and why some of the hype (both good and bad) doesn’t always hold up. A lot of people assume fake meats are automatically healthier than the real deal, but it’s not that simple. I talk through the differences between products, what to look out for on the label, and some of the sneaky stuff no one really talks about.

18 days ago9:47

9:47

In this chat, I talk about how food waste can actually mess with your weight loss goals. You know those times you finish your kids’ meals or eat the scraps left on the table? Yeah, that stuff adds up and can totally slow down your progress. I get it—it feels wasteful to throw food out. But here’s the thing: eating extra calories your body doesn’t need is just as wasteful, if not more.

7:01

In this episode, I talk about a different way to approach weight loss—by breaking it up into manageable phases. I explain why having clear targets and deadlines can actually boost motivation and help you stay on track.

5 weeks ago12:10

12:10

In this chat, I’m diving into the messy, often confusing world of hunger—especially when you’re trying to lose weight. I talk about how hunger is totally normal during a diet and why it’s so important to actually understand it, not just try to ignore or fight it. I share some down-to-earth strategies to manage hunger, from tweaking meal timing and what’s on your plate, to looking at how things like poor sleep or your menstrual cycle can mess with your hunger levels.

Episode 94: Parasite Cleanses 6:41

7 weeks ago6:41

6:41

So in this chat, I’m talking about parasite cleanses and some of the big misconceptions around them. They sound tempting because they claim to fix all these vague symptoms, but the reality is that actual parasite infections are pretty rare in developed countries. I wouldn’t recommend self-diagnosing—if you’re worried, it’s always best to see a doctor and get proper testing. We also get into the importance of overall diet quality and why anecdotal stories about cleanses can be super misleading.

Episode 93: Should I worry about preservatives? 10:14

8 weeks ago10:14

10:14

In this chat, I talk about preservatives in food and why it’s not worth stressing over every little ingredient. Instead of getting caught up in avoiding certain foods, I focus on the bigger picture—eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods without overcomplicating things. I also share my thoughts on those food-rating apps that make quick judgments based on preservatives (spoiler: they’re not super helpful). The main takeaway? It’s better to focus on overall eating habits and setting positive goals rather than just cutting things out.

11:11

In this episode, I set the record straight on oats and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions out there. People often question whether oats spike blood sugar, lack protein, or contain too much phytic acid—but I break down the science to show why oats are actually a great addition to a healthy diet. From improving cholesterol to helping with blood sugar control, they’ve got some solid benefits.

In this episode, Jenna and I break down the connection between healthy eating and weight loss. We chat about what a healthy diet really means, why a calorie deficit is key for shedding pounds, and the tricky balance between eating well and managing calories. Jenna points out that just because something is “healthy” doesn’t mean it’ll help you lose weight if you’re not keeping an eye on portions. We also touch on the calorie density of the Mediterranean diet and the trade-offs between fueling your body and hitting weight loss goals.
