Too good to be true? Kourtney Kardashian's vitamin and supplement brand, Lemme, recently released a new product: GLP-1 Daily Capsules. This sparks the question: how can they name this product "GLP-1" when this isn't even included in the ingredient list? Are supplements safe to take if the industry is unregulated? How does GLP-1 promote weight loss? In today's episode, Abbey does a deep dive into Wegovy, Ozempic, and Lemme. She shares the roles and actions insulin, glucose, and GLP-1 naturally have in our body. If you've ever wondered if these drugs and supplements are right for you, this is the episode you need to listen to.

We love acting like food in the US is the sole contributor to Americanâs health status. We love saying âthese are the US foods banned in other countriesâ and then fail to acknowledge that life, laws, regulations, politics, healthcare, etc. is different in each country. Health is nuanced and the social determinants of health matter. So, is red dye 40 safe? At what dose? Is the consumption of red dye 40 linked to ADHD? Let's chat about it!

Have you ever wondered where 2,000 calories came from for nutrition label standards? The most common belief(s) are either that 2,000 calories is what you're "supposed" to eat or it's the "max you should eat". Maybe you've never paid much attention to it or assumed it's based in scientific evidence...because why wouldn't it be, right? In today's episode, Abbey breaks down the history of nutrition labels, nutrition label terms, health claims, and connections between diet and health.

Part of breaking free of dieting and moving towards body acceptance is grieving what youâre leaving behind. Even if you embrace size acceptance, itâs common to still have negative feelings about your own body. You may know that diets don't work, and yet still feel the desire to diet. In today's episode, Abbey talks about size acceptance as a grief process. This is the grief you may experience when you realize diet culture has been selling lies and that you are essentially giving up the fantasy of having an "ideal" body, as well as the life you imagined with it. Abbey shares what happens in and recommendations to cope with each stage of grief.

"I was diagnosed with diabetes, can I still explore intuitive eating?". This is a common question Abbey receives - and it makes sense! There is so much fear mongering and misinformation present around nutrition, it makes it difficult to figure out how to eat (especially with a chronic condition). Abbey covers the three types of diabetes, focusing more on Type 2 Diabetes. She touches on each of the 10 principles of intuitive eating and describes the ways you can engage in health promoting behaviors while managing diabetes.
