🎙️ New year, new you? We’ve all heard it but let’s be real, it’s not always that simple.

Now that the new year is in full swing (and those resolutions have been seriously tested), we’re digging into what actually works when it comes to nutrition. In this episode, STHS clinical dietitians and friends of the show Jessica Greer and Sarah Brignac help us separate nutrition fact vs. fiction, breaking down popular diets, what’s worth trying and what deserves a healthy dose of skepticism.

✨ Spoiler: no gimmicks, just real talk and practical advice.
