In today's episode, co-host Victoria Gasparini takes us through her grocery list, sharing tips and tricks on how to simplify nutrition while meeting our health goals. Whether you're focused on weight loss, weight management, chronic disease prevention, or just want to start eating better, Vic's got you covered.

the misconceptions about nightshade veggies
a conversation around fats
organic vs. not organic
whether dairy is bad for us
whether all processed food is bad for us

Protein Diet Coke, Seamoss Propaganda & Diet Fails: The Internet’s Funniest Nutrition Myths with Shyla Cadogan, RD

Girls Gone Wellness

02/17/25 • 85 min

This week, we’re joined by the hilarious and incredibly knowledgeable Shyla Cadogan, a Maryland-based media dietitian and food enthusiast known as @healthyshyla on socials. Shyla has built a reputation for breaking down the wildest wellness trends with evidence-based insights, all while keeping it real (and making us laugh).

In this episode, we dive into the most viral nutrition trends, from the protein obsession to fiber-packed snacks that may not be doing your gut any favors. We also tackle the biggest myths floating around the internet, like whether flaxseeds are really the same as five birth control pills (spoiler: they’re not). Shyla shares her thoughts on intuitive eating, blood sugar tracking, protein diet coke, detoxing hormones and why so many social media “nutrition experts” get away with making the wildest claims.

Plus, we discuss how to build a balanced plate, the power of getting back to nutrition basics, and why extreme diets like carnivore and keto might not be the miracle solutions they claim to be. Shyla also gives us her controversial takes on things like "building a healthy relationship with food" and seed oils.

If you're tired of the confusion online and just want straight-up, evidence-based advice (with a side of humor), this episode is for you.
