#19: NUTRITION - The Anti-Diet movement, Weight Stigma & Do 95% of Diets Really Fail?

This episode is probably going to ruffle some feathers. As Plato said: "No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth."

I talk about some big topics in this episode & very few people will be able to see past their bias & actually understand the truths I am speaking. There are nuanced topics and I really want BOTH sides to hear this and be challenged to THINK more!

"I don't think I'm smarter than anyone, I just see things others don't see. I'm not here to judge, I'm here to point out things you may or may not understand and make you think."
