Nutrition For Mortals

If you’ve ever left a medical appointment feeling dismissed, judged, or like your body size became the diagnosis... then this episode is for you — and honestly, for your doctor too. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the very real stigma larger-bodied people face in health care settings—and how often weight bias gets in the way of actual care. We’re joined by you, our listeners, through powerful voicemails sharing both painful and healing experiences with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. From being told to “just lose weight” to finally being listened to and taken seriously, these stories highlight what’s broken, what’s possible, and the power of weight inclusive care.

The new dietary guidelines are out, and if you felt a mix of confusion, skepticism, and mild dystopian dread… you’re not alone. From the upside-down food pyramid (yes, South Park called it) to a big reversal on saturated fat, these new guidelines are chock-full of both nutrition and philosophical issues. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we dig into concerns around ‘healthy fats’, conflicts of interest and a blatant disregard of health equity and real-world access to food.

In diet culture, hormones are frequently blamed for everything from weight gain and fatigue to irregular periods and mood changes. Scroll long enough and you’ll find promises to “balance your hormones” through food rules, cleanses, or cutting out entire macronutrients. But what actually supports hormone health, and what’s just another diet in disguise? In this episode, Matt sits down with endocrinologist Dr. Gregory Dodell for a grounded conversation on hormone health, GLP-1 medications and how to approach endocrinology through a non-diet lens.
