In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. — investigative science journalist, bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, and founder of the Nutrition Coalition. Nina’s fearless work has challenged decades of nutrition dogma, exposed the shaky science propping up our national dietary guidelines, and sparked a global rethink of how we eat. Her reporting on seed oils and trans fats pulled back the curtain on how industry, politics, and media shaped what we’ve been told about food — and why so much of it was wrong. What began as a single assignment became a decades-long investigation into fat, food, and the politics of nutrition science.Upcoming EventI am thrilled to share that Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. will be joining us as a special guest at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025.🎟️ Save $100 on in-person tickets w/ code EMPOWER (by Oct. 1)💻 Virtual Watch Party option available (discount does not apply)👉 Get your tickets today: metabolichealthday.life📲 Connect With Nina: Website: https://ninateicholz.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/ninateicholz/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/NinaTeicholz LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninateicholz/ X: https://twitter.com/bigfatsurprise About Your HostI’m Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.
