May 05, 2022 18:08 - 47 minutesOne thing that bothered me when I had social media was the amount of information, or rather misinformation, about nutrition that people would share.

Abby Langer, a Registered Dietitian, joined me to help guide my listeners on what...

January 26, 2022 09:00 - 1 hourOne topic I didn’t know much about and wanted to educate myself on more was the “clean beauty” concept.
