Does Insulin Make You Fat or Metabolism Slow Down with Age? (with Dan Feldman, MS, RD, CPT)
About this episode
Scrolling through social media for health tips can feel like navigating a minefield. One minute you’re told carbs make you gain weight, the next you hear metabolism tanks as you age — but what’s actually true?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dan Feldman, a registered dietitian and personal trainer who’s uniquely positioned to decode the wellness chaos online. We dive into:
- Why certain health trends blow up, even when they’re not backed by science
- The biggest nutrition myths you’ve probably heard (carbs, insulin, metabolism, creatine, abs are made in the kitchen — we’re tackling them all)
- How to tell helpful advice from harmful hype in the wellness world
- The challenges of balancing evidence-based info with the need to capture attention online
- Practical tips for health pros struggling to find their voice amid the noise
- If you want to stop spinning your wheels on confusing health advice and finally get clarity on what really matters, this episode is a must-listen.
