☑️🤔Substack: Andrew Huberman and the Problem with "Cutting-Edge" Research by Christy Harrison, MPH, RD (note: you can listen to this or read it)

“…Like many advocates of self-optimization and “biohacking,” Huberman often seizes on early-stage research that isn’t ready for prime time—studies in animals, cell cultures, and tiny groups of volunteers—and uses it to advocate making intensive changes in your diet and lifestyle. These kinds of studies can be useful as jumping-off points for *other scientists* to do further research, but they aren’t meant to guide clinical recommendations or everyday choices about our health—only well-designed, replicable, randomized controlled trials in large numbers of humans can do that. What’s good for a lab rat isn’t necessarily good for a person….”

☑️🎙️Podcast: Science Vs - “Weight Loss: Why Won’t it Stick”

A good listen on what makes weight loss complicated and myth-busting on weight loss issues.

May be an image of phone and text that says 'Dietitian Live permanently closed and filed for bankruptcy effective July 27, 7,2026, shutting down abruptly after notifying staff and clients. The telehealth nutrition platform ceased all active operations, and individual care transitions were intended to be communicated directly by providers. Reddit r/dietetics +1'

Natalie D. “Am doing that now just signed up for telehealth. I like what I do and am not ready to retire.”

Kim K. “Absolutely not. There’s more to life than work. I plan on retiring as soon as financially possible.”

Anne S. “Probably just to keep my mind fresh.”

Tara C. “I will likely work until I’m 70…if the mind is able….because let’s face it, dietitians don’t make enough money to retire. It may not be one on one clinical, but as long as I have some schedule flexibility, why not?”
