On my Sound Bites Podcast I delve into the science, the psychology and the strategies behind good food and nutrition. I interview a variety of guests on a variety of topics pertaining to the latest research on food, nutrition, diets, medical conditions and agriculture. I strive to promote sound science, smart nutrition and good food, so that my listeners can make their own, well-informed nutrition and health decisions based on facts, not fear. Join in on my conversations with some of the best and the brightest in the field of nutrition and learn about tips and resources to help make meaningful steps toward better health.
