109. Nutrition Is A Science, Not An Opinion & Finding Credible Info Online With Dr. Adrian Chavez

Welcome back to the Down To Earth PCOS podcast!

Have you ever gone on social media to find helpful information about PCOS but left more confused and overwhelmed than ever before?

It's challenging to figure out which sources you can trust and which are just speaking without any experience or knowledge about nutrition in general, and PCOS in particular!

My guest today is Dr. Adrian Chavez. He holds a Ph.D. in Nutrition and Health Promotion from Arizona State University and he specializes in making nutrition science easier to understand and implement, while also calling out the misleading information that is so prevalent in the nutrition space. 

On this episode we discussed:

1. Why nutrition is not about someone's opinion but rather a science with clear findings and evidence to support (or refute) certain claims.
2. Why we hear so much about certain supplements, greens powders and other products with a "wellness halo".
3. How to spot fear-mongering around food and tune it out!
4. Why it's important to be a critical thinker and have your "guard up" when consuming content online. 
5. What Dr. Chavez recommend to do to guarantee you're improving your health daily.
