Hi friends,

Okay, we know. 2021 hasn't exactly been the dream come-back year we had all hoped for yet—at least here in the US. It's been rough. But we hope that you've been doing okay and at least using this fresh new year as an opportunity to recommit to some bigger picture life goals (like health). 

This is the time when we all have a tad more motivation in the tank to strive for improved health and nutrition so we thought we would kick off the new year with a podcast to figure out the best ways for us to be healthy!

There are so many trends and fads revolving around the wellness space like...

• keto
• paleo
• low-carb diets
• bone broth hype
• collagen hype

It can bee hard to sort through the noise and get to the bottom of the facts. So we thought we’d bring on our friend Dr. Matthew Nagra to help us navigate through the truth regarding these trendy diets with evidence-based nutrition science.
