In this chat, I talk about how food waste can actually mess with your weight loss goals.
You know those times you finish your kids’ meals or eat the scraps left on the table? Yeah, that stuff adds up and can totally slow down your progress.
I get it—it feels wasteful to throw food out. But here’s the thing: eating extra calories your body doesn’t need is just as wasteful, if not more.

So in this chat, I’m talking about parasite cleanses and some of the big misconceptions around them.
They sound tempting because they claim to fix all these vague symptoms, but the reality is that actual parasite infections are pretty rare in developed countries.
I wouldn’t recommend self-diagnosing—if you’re worried, it’s always best to see a doctor and get proper testing.
We also get into the importance of overall diet quality and why anecdotal stories about cleanses can be super misleading.

In this chat, I talk about preservatives in food and why it’s not worth stressing over every little ingredient.
Instead of getting caught up in avoiding certain foods, I focus on the bigger picture—eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods without overcomplicating things.
I also share my thoughts on those food-rating apps that make quick judgments based on preservatives (spoiler: they’re not super helpful).
The main takeaway? It’s better to focus on overall eating habits and setting positive goals rather than just cutting things out.
