This podcast is an excellent source to learn the dangers and misinformation surrounding the diet and food industry. Each episode discusses nutrition-related topics like healthy meal plans and safe ways to lose weight. This podcast examines popular diets, myths about protein, and calorie counting.

The Maintenance Phase podcast dives into the science behind popular food fads and strips away the hype. Informative, well researched, and educational, it is a great listen. Whether it is the latest trend or a longstanding diet hack, the science behind what we eat gets put to the test.
