NMLP EP 152 : Weight Stigmas
Nutrition's My Life Podcast
Weight stigmas According to many health professionals (ahmmm doctors!) If you're in a bigger body- all your health problems are because of your weight. If you're in a bigger body- you must be gorging yourself with food all day long. If you're in a thin body- you are either underweight and need to gain or you can't have certain health conditions because you're in a small body and those health conditions only happen in bigger bodies.

NMLP EP 151 : Protein Needs
Nutrition's My Life Podcast
When trying to lose weight, building muscle mass, or generally trying to be healthier... all you hear is PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN. Butttttt How much protein should we be eating each day? If you talk to a personal trainer or an avid gym goer, you might think 1g/pound of body weight. Well the recommended daily allowance or RDA for most adults is 0.8g/kg of body weight. To get your weight into kilograms/kg you need to divide weight in pounds by 2.2. This could look like a 180lb individual divided by 2.2 = ~82kg. This could be either 180g of protein to try to eat (wowzas)...

NMLP EP 149 : Carbs
Nutrition's My Life Podcast
The topic of carbs (carbohydrates) have been in the conversation of half my patients lately and it was time for me to help you out again with understanding carbs and why we need them.. Are you on a weight loss journey? > you need carbs for T4 to T3 conversion (T3 is the active thyroid hormone and without adequate carbs, your best chance of having a metabolism you want is taken away from you as the body does not want to convert T4 to T3 when there are not enough carbs present) Constantly exhausted? > you may be only filling up your gas tank a quarter of the way and expecting your...
info_outlineMost medications people take on the regular have a nutrient that it interacts with.
Why is this important?
Zantac or Prilosec could eventually make you feel super tired and run down? How? Iron needs an acidic enivironment to be absorbed and without that stomach acid, low iron absorption can lead to anemia. Anemia leaves you feeling run down.
Anemia can negatively impact the thyroid hormone and their conversion.
In today's episode, I'm sharing a few other common medications and the nutrients that are affected (plus how it can impact your body).
Join me, Nicole Eichinger, in another episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast.
