Nutrition advice has never been easier to find. Knowing which advice you can trust has never been harder.


Every day brings another headline, social media trend, or viral nutrition claim telling you what to eat, what to avoid, or which supplement will change your life. Much of it sounds convincing. Much of it isn't supported by the evidence.


Nutrition Diva helps you separate nutrition science from nutrition myths so you can make confident decisions about your health.


Each week, Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN, translates evidence-based nutrition into plain English, breaking down the latest research and explaining what it really means for your everyday life. Instead of sensational headlines and fad diets, you'll get practical nutrition guidance you can understand—and use.


Whether you're trying to build healthier eating habits, lose weight, improve metabolic health, support healthy aging, or reduce your risk of chronic disease, every episode helps you make smarter nutrition decisions with confidence.


Topics include healthy eating, balanced diets, gut health, probiotics, supplements, vitamins, weight management, intermittent fasting, Mediterranean and high-protein diets, food labels, processed foods, cholesterol, inflammation, diabetes prevention, heart health, longevity, and the latest nutrition research.


You'll also hear Monica break down popular wellness trends, explain emerging nutrition science, evaluate supplement claims, and separate food myths from nutrition facts so you can spend less time wondering who to believe and more time building healthy habits that last.


Regular features include listener questions, myth busting, fact vs. fad, and expert interviews exploring the science behind the nutrition questions people ask most.


If you're looking for nutrition science you can trust—and practical guidance that fits real life—subscribe to the Nutrition Diva.

  • What to eat while breastfeeding and what to skip

    What to eat while breastfeeding and what to skip
    Oct 14 2026

    883. You've probably been told to skip broccoli, garlic, spicy food, sushi, peanuts and even your morning coffee while breast-feeding. How much of that advice holds up?

    Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN, sorts fact from folklore on what to eat and what to avoid while nursing. She covers the colic theory about cruciferous vegetables, the open question of whether eating peanuts during breast-feeding affects a baby's allergy risk, and the NIH ESCAPE trial now testing it.

    In this episode, Monica explains

    • Whether cabbage, broccoli and garlic really cause gas and colic in breast-fed babies
    • Why spicy food doesn't harm breast milk, and how your diet shapes your baby's food preferences
    • What the research says about peanuts during breast-feeding, and why early peanut introduction cuts allergy risk
    • How much caffeine and alcohol are considered safe, and how long to wait before nursing
    • Why the pregnancy rules on sushi and soft cheese don't apply while nursing
    • Which fish to choose, how many extra calories and fluids you need, and what to know about vitamin D for baby

  • Fasting-mimicking diets: Medical therapy or anti-aging hack?

    Fasting-mimicking diets: Medical therapy or anti-aging hack?
    Oct 7 2026

    882. Someone in your office comes back from vacation with a box of soups and shakes and announces they're doing a five-day fast. Except they're eating.

    Fasting-mimicking diets are unusual among viral wellness protocols in that there is a real body of peer-reviewed research behind them. There is also a company selling the five-day kits, founded by the researcher who developed the protocol and funding many of the trials. Both of those things are true at the same time.


    In this episode, Monica breaks down what the research actually shows:

    • What the five-day protocol involves, including the calorie targets and why it's deliberately low in protein
    • What "fasting mimicking" means, and which effects of a multi-day fast it's trying to reproduce
    • The 2017 trial in 100 healthy adults, where participants lost about five and a half pounds over three months but saw no change in blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, or inflammation
    • Why the subgroup findings are interesting and why they aren't proof
    • The 12-month trial in people with type 2 diabetes, where 40% reduced their diabetes medication compared with 5% in usual care
    • What the cancer research has shown in mice, what it hasn't yet shown in people, and why anyone in treatment needs their oncology team in the conversation first
    • Why the claim that five days can make you two and a half years biologically younger is the weakest part of the evidence, and what happened to the third of participants whose scores got worse
    • Whether you can replicate the protocol without buying a branded kit, and what you might be giving up if you do
    • What the dropout rates in these studies say about how doable this really is
