NEW PODCAST EPISODE: HOW TO NAVIGATE (MIS)INFORMATION OVERLOAD In HEALTH TODAY

I’m on Danish podcast show “Rikke Paa Vrangen”. We’re talking about how to navigate the overload of (mis)information in nutrition and health – a world where everyone seems to be an “expert” these days, but only few actually have a nutrition-related educational background - unfortunately adding to a wealth of misinformation.

How do you know what’s real, what’s marketing, and what’s just plain dangerous?

We go over tools to think critically, act strategically, and navigate the chaos of information.

To grain or not to grain?

That seems to be the main question on most people’s mind these days. Personally I always recommend taking advice on matters from professionals who are educated in the field you seek advice in, i.e. seek nutrition advice from professionals who are educated and hold a degree in nutrition science and seek medical advice and diagnostics from professionals who have a medical training. If we did that, and if we as professionals respected different educational backgrounds and trainings, instead of thinking “we know it all”, it would lead to a lot less confusion and malpractice in the health arena.

Anyway, today I want to share this video on the subject of grains with two very different takes on the matter - Dr. Perlmutter, a Medical Doctor and author of “Grain Brain” and Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP a globally recognized leader in the fields of natural health, Ayurveda, and sports medicine. I find it incredibly nice that these two personalities in their own right are able to discuss their different takes on this almost religious matter in such a civil manner.

I'm talking about our toxic relationship to food (podcast interview)

I'm talking about health myths and facts and what a healthy relationship to food really is.

Too many of us have a toxic relationship to food and our body, and it is time we focus on thriving, rather than depriving ourselves. Afterall, life is too short to be miserable.

Listen in on the Danish podcast show #tothemoon here (in Danish only).

Is red wine healthy? (Interview feature in Vogue Scandinavia)

Should you cut out wine this year or is red wine really healthy? (I am interviewed for an article in Vogue Scandinavia).

Well, sort of and sort of not.

We know that happiness adds to longevity, and that a glass of red wine can add to that sense of relaxation and ease the tension. And that's a fine reason to drink a glass with your dinner 3-4 x week. but don't drink it for the resveratrol though. And also: if a slice of double chocolate cake does it for you, then cake is just as good as a glass of vino. Life is too short to be miserable and only eat salad (and that is not healthy for you anyway!)- and happiness does add years to our life. So live your life and drink that glass with your dinner, if it makes you happy (but not everyday - yeah, I still had to kill the party like that).
