What matters more—quality or quantity when it comes to nutrition? And how does diet connect to stress, longevity, and overall health?

In this episode, we’re bringing together highlights from some of my favorite past conversations on nutrition and lifestyle. You’ll hear from:

  • Brigid Titgemeier on how changing her diet transformed her health and why food quality comes first
  • Dan Buettner, author of Blue Zones, on what the world’s longest-lived communities teach us about diet, environment, and relationships
  • EC Synkowski on foundational nutrition principles, the 800g Challenge, and protei
  • Chris Kresser on how stress and restrictive dieting can slow metabolism
  • Dr. Cate Shanahan on the impact of seed oils and dietary toxins on cellular health

It’s a packed episode with practical takeaways to help you think about food—and health—in a more holistic way.
