Dale Dietitians: Recent Episodes
Ashlen and Courtney
Twin sisters here! We are both registered dietitians who are passionate about getting the nutrition facts straight. We are here to provide reliable information around popular nutrition fads and myths. For example, is juicing healthy? Do carbs make you fat? Should I do keto? Join us for a quick 5-15 minute episode to get the facts straight!
This episode is all about supplements! We are going to talk about who regulates supplements, whether or not they are beneficial, and how to choose a safe supplement.
We discuss the role of protein in our body, different types of protein to consider, how much we need, how to incorporate protein at meals, and some myths around protein.
We're busting one of the most common nutrition myths out there.... "carbs make you fat." Listen in to hear just how important carbohydrates are for your athletic performance. We talk about foods that contain carbohydrates, role of carbohydrates, pre and post workout snack ideas, and how to build a balanced plate.
Check out one of our favorite pre/post workout snacks below:
