Shyla's Guide to Electrolytes, Fiber, Balanced Nutrition and Poop!

In Moderation

Have you ever witnessed a nutrition transformation first-hand? Our esteemed guest, Shyla, a registered dietitian from Maryland, shares her incredible journey from staunch veganism to embracing a more inclusive, adaptable approach to eating. She brings to the table a refreshing perspective on personalizing nutrition, steering clear of one-size-fits-all diets, and the importance of respecting individual dietary needs. Together, we peel back the layers of our nutritional education and the challenges of disseminating sound dietary advice in the era of social media echoes.
As we chew over the topic of fiber and sugar alcohols, brace yourself for a gut-busting discussion, literally! Ever wondered why SmartSweets might send you sprinting to the restroom? Shyla and I explore the digestive quirks associated with these food components, alongside the economic factors that make healthier food options like OLIPOP a tough swallow for some budgets. You'll come away with a nuanced understanding of the fiber in your diet and why a good bowel movement can be a source of joy.
Gather round as we slice into the meat of misconceptions surrounding protein, carbs, and the artistry of crafting a balanced meal. Discover why nuts and plant-based proteins deserve a break from the bad rap they often get and how fibrous foods can keep your blood sugar in check, even when indulging. We also spill the beans on why homemade stock is a chef's secret weapon and how you can eat well without emptying your wallet. And for the cherry on top, we'll serve up the truth about lemon water and those detox fads that seem too good to be true. So tuck in your napkin and get ready for a hearty serving of humor and insight in this feast of a conversation.
