About this episode

Layne Norton discusses evidence-based nutrition and dismantles common health myths in a deep dive into modern health discourse.

I’m excited to release this new episode with Layne Norton: one of the most respectable, evidence-based thinkers in the nutrition discourse. Layne has PhD in nutrition and has appeared in podcasts with Andrew Huberman, Joe Rogan, Megyn Kelly, and many other familiar voices. In this conversation, we deep-dive into nutrition science, exercise, chronic disease, and the illusion of consensus shaping modern health discourse. Layne breaks down protein myths, seed oils, artificial sweeteners, vitamins, fiber, obesity, metabolic health, and the impact of Covid-era messaging on public trust in science. The episode explores how online wellness culture, government guidelines, and social media gurus collide (mentioning Gary Brecka and Paul Saladino), and why statistical thinking, risk, and probability matter more than viral anecdotes. This episode is a rigorous, practical, and highly evidence-based breakdown of modern health myths.
