Scrolling through social media for health tips can feel like navigating a minefield. One minute you’re told carbs make you gain weight, the next you hear metabolism tanks as you age — but what’s actually true?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dan Feldman, a registered dietitian and personal trainer who’s uniquely positioned to decode the wellness chaos online. We dive into:
- Why certain health trends blow up, even when they’re not backed by science
- The biggest nutrition myths you’ve probably heard (carbs, insulin, metabolism, creatine, abs are made in the kitchen — we’re tackling them all)
- How to tell helpful advice from harmful hype in the wellness world
- The challenges of balancing evidence-based info with the need to capture attention online
- Practical tips for health pros struggling to find their voice amid the noise
- If you want to stop spinning your wheels on confusing health advice and finally get clarity on what really matters, this episode is a must-listen.
