You might have noticed that “seed oils” are all over social media lately — and not in a good way. So are they really as bad for you as influencers say?

Cancer changes everything: your body, your relationships, and of course, what you eat. Nutrition can’t cure cancer (spoiler alert), but it can be a powerful tool to manage symptoms and side effects.

Today she joins me for a holistic, evidence-based conversation about GLP-1s, where we cut through the misinformation around these drugs and offer information you can really trust.

• The place of medication and are these long term drugs?
• Micro-dosing and low-dosing GLP-1s
• Which doctors should be prescribing metabolic drugs
• Regenerative healing from GLP-1s
• The causes of food noise
• Hunger vs appetite
• The triggers for emotional eating
• Why eating for comfort makes sense
• Reclaiming your agency so you want to change (rather than feeling like you “should”)
•
