Nutrition Questions, Answers, and Shockers

About this episode

This episode features nutrition expert Sarah Weitz answering listener questions about various nutrition topics.

I hope you are having a most amazing day! Get your listening ears on cuz this episode is FULL of nutrition questions, answers, and shockers! And, to answer these questions, I invited back one of our favorite guests, Sarah Weitz, MS, RD. Since our last visit, she was super busy getting promoted to the Administrative Director at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine AND becoming a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist. Sarah, you've been busy, girl! And, she shared so much of her knowledge with us. These are the questions YOU have been asking so Sarah was here to answer. Here are just a few we talked about: Can mushrooms help decrease memory loss and dementia? What is inflammation and what foods do we need to eat to reduce it? What are the only two types of plants that contain complete proteins? (Vegetarians and Vegans, listen up!) Does soy cause cancer? Does a plant-based diet help with autoimmune diseases? And tons more! I always love conversing with Sarah on all things diet and nutrition. And, I hope you do, too! So grab a coffee or wine or lace up your running shoes and hit play. We packed a whole lotta info in this one! And, I know I say this often…
