#25 Nutrition Myths to Stop Believing Now, Bonus Fitness & Weight-loss Myths

Short Summary
This episode is all about myth busting. Nutrition myths are everywhere. Mainly due to the fact that nutrition is a beyond complicated and fairly new science.

What happens in a lab does not always translate into real-world recommendations. For example, mice were less depressed after they were fed probiotics. That doesn’t mean probiotics are suddenly promising treatments for anxiety and depression. There may be a million other factors when it comes to humans. What else are you eating with that probiotic? What other habits do you have that affect depression? It’s seriously so complicated.

On top on that, science is constantly changing. We used to think low fat was what we wanted when purchasing things like yogurt or dressing. Now, we drink bulletproof coffee, we favor eggs and bacon over oatmeal and berries for breakfast and we dip our veggies in guacamole. It's a complete 180.

It's overwhelming. We know! That's why we are here to bust these nutrition myths for you. Are you ready to myth bust? Of course you are. Let's do this!
