It was a pleasure having Dr. Adrian Chavez on the show to talk about our current public health affairs and how much of our health is really within our control. Topics discussed:

-Discrepancies between health experts and social media influencers online

-Public vs. individual health and where responsibility really falls

-Changes and defunding to the NIH and what this means for science/research

-Recent cuts to healthcare, research and assistance programs

-How politics shape health + who it hits the hardest

-MAHA then vs. now. What the original message vs. reality and where they stand today

-The illusion of progress vs. actual improvements in population health

-Conversation around the new Dietary Guidelines, processed foods and consumer marketing

-Why we need to keep talking about politics and what we can do about it

+ so much more in-between. These are conversations that directly shape our health and deserve ongoing attention, regardless of political affiliation. I enjoyed this chat and I know you will too.

Such a great chat with my friend + colleague - Abby Langer - on this episode. Abby's been an RD for 25+ years and calling misinformation out for longer. Give her a follow if you don't already! Topics discussed:

-Importance of being loud and taking up space

-Why speaking your mind and calling people out on social media can be a good thing

-'Skinny' and 'thin' is in again.. why is that a problem for women?

-Why are so many women selling women unrealistic beauty standards online?

-How politics can shape/influence the health sphere

-Peptides, supplements and products/procedures being sold to women especially

-Anti-aging and why this obsession of always trying to look younger can be harmful

-Making informed decisions instead of society/cultural norms making them for you

+ so much more in-between.
