Let’s be honest, nutrition advice is confusing as hell.

One person says carbs are the enemy, another says fat will kill you. Detox teas are still a thing for some reason. And eggs are still getting unnecessary hate.

If you’ve ever felt like you have no idea what to believe… you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re breaking down 6 nutrition myths that are still screwing people up—and giving you the truth, the science, and the actual pr...

In this episode, we’re calling that out and helping you reconnect to the only nutrition plan that actually works long-term—the one built for your b...
