Today’s topic is “superfoods”, supplements and CBD. It might seem like a strange combination, but I find that sales tactics and marketing efforts for all three are very similar, and play on some misunderstandings that most people have about nutrition, how our bodies work, and what the current evidence shows.
To be honest, this topic was just going to be about the idea of superfoods, but with all the CBD craziness, I had an oncologist almost beg me to talk about CBD. So… I decided to throw it in with this one!
In typical “Julie style”, this episode is full of the practical, evidence-based nutrition information that you crave, with none of the sensationalism, guilt or pseudoscience. Get your info from the expert!
