Should all lectin containing foods (aka most plant food) be avoided? Can his diet keep you from ever needing another surgery? Get ready for another heavily eye-roll inducing episode.

  • Yuka, European Nutriscore, and Thrive
    Mar 25 2024

    In another two-parter episode, we first discuss the French based app Yuka, which determines whether a food is "excellent", "good", "poor" or "bad". These classifications are based on the same criteria as the European Nutriscore classification system. We discuss what we think of this government backed program, and whether we recommend this classification app. Second, we discuss the MLM Thrive by Le-vel, which sells (this isn't a joke) health stickers. Take a listen to what we have to think about the product line of this company.

  • The Special K and South Beach Diets
    Mar 18 2024

    In this two-fer episode, we turn the clock back to the mid 2000's when diets like "eat cereal all day" was somehow just completely accepted. The 2000's saw some pretty wild diet trends, and we enjoyed taking a look at these two programs.
