  • Weight Loss After Breast Cancer: Deep Dive in to a Large Clinical Trial

    Weight Loss After Breast Cancer: Deep Dive in to a Large Clinical Trial
    Feb 9 2026

    I break down a new large clinical trial that examined weight loss outcomes in women with stage II–III breast cancer after treatment. We explore what the year-long lifestyle intervention included, how much weight participants lost, and why average numbers don’t tell the full story. I discuss differences in weight loss by menopausal status and race, common frustrations survivors experience, and where GLP-1 medications may fit into weight management after breast cancer.

  • The Dietary Guidelines for Americans: What Changed and Why It Matters

    The Dietary Guidelines for Americans: What Changed and Why It Matters
    Jan 26 2026

    This episode covers the release of the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. I walk through how the Dietary Guidelines are traditionally developed, including the role of scientific experts, public comment, and the translation of evidence into policy. I then share my concerns about changes in transparency and scientific rigor in this edition, highlight specific contradictions within the guidelines, and explain why these recommendations will not be changing how I practice or communicate nutrition.
