I’ve said I’m done with this topic so many times…but I just keep coming back to it, even for the Season 4 finale! I feel like Ozempic has become the Kleenex of anti-obesity drugs - even though it’s far from the only one on the market (hello - Wegovy and Mounjaro!) Ubiquitousness aside, their huge popularity has me wondering…is healthy eating out the window now thanks to these so-called “miracle weight loss drugs”??
I’m joined by returning guest and registered dietitian bestie, Samantha Cassetty. We discuss our different opinions, as well as the kinds of drug categories exist under the affiliated GLP1 hormone spectrum, what you need to know about these medications, the fine line between weight loss treatments versus obesity prevention, and more. Stay tuned!

Victoria Beckham is on blast thanks to her husband, David Beckham, sharing her eating habits on a recent podcast - so, I weigh in on HIS weighing in on her diet…and, of course, the diet itself (I am a dietitian, after all.) I also discuss the prebiotic soda Poppi and the value of a newly announced class-action lawsuit that alleges it’s not as healthy as they’ve led consumers to believe, as well as Yahoo’s advice on how to safely eat cicadas. I wish I was joking, but yes, cicadas can be on your dinner menu!

As the temperatures are starting to rise, I know a lot of people have questions about how to safely exercise in the summer - what’s the best time to do it outside to stay cool, and what you need to know in order to stay properly hydrated in the heat? Well, we have the answers!
I’m joined again by exercise expert Amy Stephens (who you previously heard on Episode 54, Things You Should Know About Intermittent Fasting), a registered dietitian, certified specialist in sports nutrition, blogger, runner, and food coach. Amy has over 20 years experience working with athletes from amateur to Olympic-level - so, she really knows her stuff when it comes to all things exercise and nutrition. We talk about how much water you need to be drinking this summer, how your gut plays into hydration and exercise, the kinds of electrolytes you lose when you sweat, how much water weight you lose from working out, the advice from Amy’s on-call meteorologist about when in the day you should be working out to avoid peak heat, and - much to my chagrin - pickleball. All this and more!

Processed food, ultra-processed foods, whole foods…the way the media discusses this topic, they use so many different terms that it’s enough to make your head spin - and they definitely paint processed foods as the bad guy.

There's lots of judgements that get made based on people’s size - if someone is “too thin” they get told to eat more; if someone is “too big” they get told they should be eating less. There’s this concept that you can tell if someone suffers from disordered eating based solely on the way they look. But what really matters is whether or not problems exist when someone eats - not their size, or any societal judgments like ordering dressing on the side or a scooped bagel.
Registered dietitian Jessica Setnik is one of the most recognized experts on the topic of eating disorders - and my guest for this discussion. We talk about problems with eating that are more and less acceptable in society, shame and judgment around eating, which labels and definitions are not helpful in navigating disordered eating, is weight loss okay, and more. Stay tuned!

My guest for this episode, Toby Amidor, is a 20-year veteran of the food and nutrition industry and is a spokesperson, media expert, and award-winning author of 10 cookbooks - yes, you read that right, 10!

How’s your New Year’s resolution going? Well, if you’re like two-thirds of the typical population, you’ve probably already given up: only 36% of resolutions on average make it past January…and only about 9% get carried out for an entire year. Why are we so bad at keeping our resolutions? How can you make sticking to a resolution for better health and nutrition easier and more compatible with long term success?
Returning guest Bonnie Taub-Dix (BTD and “roomie” as she’s affectionately known by me!) is a registered dietitian/nutritionist, celebrated media personality, and the award-winning author of Read It Before You Eat It: How to Decode Food Labels and Make the Healthiest Choice Every Time and the founder of betterthandieting.com. We talk about how to make attainable, realistic weight and health resolutions - or, rather, real solutions - and how we’ve managed to succeed at our own “resolutions”. All this and more - stay tuned!

It’s a brand new year, so it’s the perfect time to look back at the hottest diet and nutrition trends from 2023 and discuss which ones were great, which ones were not-so-good, and which ones we hope fade into the abyss of last year…plus, what will be the new “it” thing for 2024?
One of my bestie RD friends, and returning guest, Samantha Cassetty, a nationally recognized food and nutrition expert, joins me to talk about intermittent fasting, keto, plant-based eating, the Mediterranean diet, Ozempic and Wegovy (I just can’t stay away from this topic!), hydration, and so much more.

In this episode, I tackle 3 news headlines I’ve been interviewed for by the media lately: whether 5 top health trends are actually more harmful than healthy; what the heck is a scooped bagel, and is it actually healthier than a non-scooped bagel; and what is brominated vegetable oil (BVO), and why might it be banned in the USA soon? Tune in for my take on these topics while I dispel myth from fact!

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve been asked over the years to explain the difference between plant-based, planet-forward and vegan diets - and to explain how you can follow any of these diets and still get enough protein. So, here it is: the DEFINITIVE conversation to answer these questions!
I’m joined by Jackie Newgent, plant-forward Registered Dietician/Nutritionist and author of The Plant-Based Diabetes Cookbook. She also happens to be my fellow co-founder at Peterra Kitchen. We discuss the difference between plant-based, plant-forward, vegetarian, and vegan diets, how to ensure you’re getting enough protein from any of the above (spoiler - it’s easier than you think, but like most diets it also depends on YOUR body and meal planning!), as well as the other benefits of plant-forward diets.

With Halloween right around the corner, I figured it might be time for a little refresher on our relationships with sugar (especially if you’re as psyched about it as my grandkids are!) On average, Americans eat 70% more sugar than their recommended daily requirements. So when it comes to reducing sugar in our diets, where do we even start?
In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian and co-author of Sugar Shock, Samantha Cassetty. We discuss the impacts of overeating sugar, the types of sugar to avoid, sugar and habit-forming behaviors, managing cravings, and training your tastebuds.

I’ve been asked to speak about several headline-grabbing nutrition topics in the last couple weeks by various media outlets - and most of them have ranged from somewhat ridiculous, to VERY ridiculous. I dive into four of the top ones:
- Whether morning workouts are really superior for weight loss.
- Is psyllium husk the “the poor man’s ozempic”? (Listen to earlier episodes on ozempic fro, December AND June of last season!)
- One of the latest TikTok trends includes #lemoncoffee for weight loss. (And you know how much I love TikTok!)
- And, sadly, the deadly case of a teenager who sadly passed away after participating in the “One Chip Challenge”.
Take a listen as I try my best to make sense of it all.

The Washington Post recently published an inflammatory article titled: “The food industry pays ‘influencer’ dietitians to shape your eating habits: Registered dietitians are being paid to post videos that promote diet soda, sugar and supplements on Instagram and TikTok”. The thing that this article ignores is that so much of RDs’ work is based on conclusive scientific research and we are out there sharing the facts, not fear.
I’m joined by Amy Gorin, a registered dietitian and Founder & CEO of Master the Media, where she teaches health professionals how to be featured in the media and partner with brands they love in an ethical way. We discuss these partnerships, the work that goes into being a responsible registered dietitian and influencer, what proper disclosure looks like, and why we can most definitely be trusted as a profession.

Welcome to the premier of Season 4 of the Keri Report! To kick off this season, I dive deep into a topic that concerns a lot of us - especially me! - by looking at the latest news on alcohol that has caused quite a ruckus in the nutrition community.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Eric Rimm, a Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and Director of the Program in cardiovascular epidemiology in the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, and Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School. He’s internationally recognized for his extensive work in the study of the health effects of light to moderate alcohol consumption. We go over the latest studies, what exactly moderate drinking is by the numbers, and whether the research on drinking actually has changed at all. Stay tuned!

Welcome to the last episode of Season 3 of the Keri Report! It’s not very often that I revisit a topic twice in the same season (if you want a refresher, listen to Ep 62 Ozempic, The Celebrity Weight Loss Drug: Should We Be Concerned?) but I just can't seem to get away from Ozempic. It is STILL making waves in the media thanks to celebrity use (and MISUSE) and I have SO much to say. I thought this time I’d bring in backup to dig more into how this drug is affecting individuals with eating disorders, and why overall its continued popularity is such a problem.
In this episode, I’m joined by registered dietitian Laura Pimello, an eating disorder specialist and somatic and trauma-informed practitioner with a private practice in New York City. We discuss how long this drug can be effective for, the problems that may come along with abusing this family of drugs, and what worries us as dietitians who are seeing people taking Ozempic, or Wegovy, without understanding the potential risks. All this and more - stay tuned!

The first time I was asked about Berberine was back in February, and thanks to our favorite app (TikTok, of course) it’s going viral again as “nature’s Ozempic” (if you need a crash course on that, check out my episode from last year about it.) But what is Berberine? Does it actually work for weight-loss? What are the side effects - and is it safe?
The other hot topic from this week is - believe it or not - coffee. The debate about coffee has been raging for decades now, and I’m pretty confident in my stance…BUT it doesn’t hurt to review the most up-to-date science, which is exactly what I did. All this and more - stay tuned!

One of the TikTok trends that’s been making the rounds lately is a fad where people eat at a particular fast food restaurant (hint: it’s the one with the golden arches!) every day for anywhere from a month, to 100 days - and the reason it’s going viral is because shockingly, people are saying they are LOSING weight doing it! When I heard that one of my fellow dietitians was giving this trend a try, I knew I needed to talk to her and find out how it went.
In this episode, I’m joined by Nicole Rodriguez, an award-winning dietitian /nutritionist based in the New York Metro area and the co-founder of Step Bite Step. I talk to her about how exactly she did her 30-day McDonald’s challenge, whether it’s possible to eat fast food in a health conscious way, and if she can still stand McDonald’s after a MONTH of eating it every day. All this and more - stay tuned!

Videos of green drinks are all the rage on TikTok right now (insert eye roll here as you all know how I feel about TikTok) and these clips often come with some pretty incredible health claims. In this episode, I talk about what exactly green powder is, the validity of some of the claims the Internet is making about green powders, and potential risks that you might be missing in the small print on these products.

Last month, it was announced that WW (formerly Weight Watchers) was set to acquire Sequence, a subscription telehealth platform “offering access to healthcare providers specializing in chronic weight management”. Since that announcement, there’s been some pushback - but we know on this podcast that mainstream media doesn’t always get it 100% right. So, I decided to go straight to the source so I can make up my mind for myself!
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Michelle Cardel, a registered dietitian and obesity and nutrition scientist who oversees WW’s academic research partnerships and clinical trials, nutrition portfolio, and science communication. We discuss what Sequence is, why WW is pursuing this acquisition, and what it means for the future of WW. All this and more - stay tuned!

Every year, the Environmental Working Group releases the Dirty Dozen, a list of conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables with the highest levels of pesticide residues. And every year, this list generates unnecessary consumer concern - it did when this episode first aired in 2022, and no surprise, it's still doing the same in 2023.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tamika Sims, Ph.D., the Senior Director of Food Technology Communications for the International Food Information Council. We talk about the difference between organic and conventional farming, natural and synthetic pesticides, and how consumers shouldn’t be worried about the Dirty Dozen.

It feels like we’re constantly being bombarded by guidelines to “eat less sugar”...but in fact, the best advice for now might be to drink less sugar - at least when it comes to replacing sugar-sweetened beverages like soda. Low- and no-calorie sweeteners have gotten a bad rap for a long time, but experts will be the first to tell you that a lot of the media-reported negative results are based on skewed study findings and clickbait headlines.
Joining me in this episode is Dr. John Sievenpiper. Dr. Sievenpiper is a Medical Doctor and Associate Professor at the Department of Nutritional Science in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada. Together we dispel some popular myths surrounding low- and no-calorie sweeteners and get to the real science about low- and no-calorie sweeteners!

Every new year is a time to reflect on the trends and fads from the year behind us - and to look ahead to what might be on the horizon. Whether it’s plant-based diets, wearable tech, weight-loss no longer being a dirty word, healthier charcuterie boards (I want to believe it WON’T be butter boards again) or even just good old mushrooms, there’s always something new that we should be keeping an eye on.
Joining me in this episode is returning guest Bonnie Taub-Dix. Bonnie is a registered dietitian/nutritionist, media personality & trainer, spokesperson, motivational speaker, journalist, and corporate and brand consultant. She takes me through the difference between a fad and a trend, her list of in and out predictions for 2023, and what we hope to see (and not see) in the coming year.

The drug Ozempic is a trending topic lately. Originally designed to help control diabetes, it’s been picked up by the media as the latest and greatest off-label fix for weight loss. In fact, my own husband tried this drug - and he’s not even a celebrity! So, I wanted to find out: what is this drug, what exactly does it do, and does it actually help people lose weight?
Joining me for this conversation is Lauren Harris-Pincus, a nutrition communication specialist, speaker, spokesperson, and registered dietitian in the New York/New Jersey area for 25 years. With Lauren’s help, we explore the molecular nitty gritty of what semaglutide (aka the active ingredient in Ozempic) does in the body, whether the drug Hollywood is infatuated with is actually Ozempic or Wegovy, and overall the world of problems associated with glorifying weight loss drugs as a “silver bullet”. All this and more - stay tuned!

Bloat is a puffed up topic in the media these days, but there’s a lot of misconceptions out there - so I decided to let some of the air out of this issue and get to the bottom of whether or not “flat belly foods” actually exist.
For this episode, I’m excited for Tamara Duker Freuman to join me to dive deep into the discussion of belly bloat. Tamara is a New York City-based registered dietitian with 12 years of experience in clinical gastroenterology practice settings specializing in dietary management of digestive symptoms and diseases. She’s also the author of The Bloated Belly Whisperer, and her next book, Regular, is now available for pre-order ahead of its April 2023 release.
We discuss why knowing the cause of your bloating is the key to fixing the problem rather than searching for a one-size-fits-all solution (because frankly, it doesn’t exist), whether or not “flat belly foods” are actually effective (I mean if you think about it, does adding more food to an already full system really make sense??), and the number one fiber-related reason the majority of people are probably feeling bloated (or should I say, number 2). All this and more in this episode!

For my diehard fans, you might remember that I covered frozen food once already way back in Episode 29 (Should you spend more time in the frozen food aisle?) but I think it’s so important - and misunderstood - that I’m throwing this discussion back into the microwave for a reheat.
In this episode, I’m joined by Ali Rosen, the Emmy and James Beard Award nominated host of “Potluck with Ali Rosen” on New York City Life. She is the author of cookbooks Modern Freezer Meals, and Bring It, and has been featured on shows like The Today Show and Food Network Kitchen. She also has a new fiction novel, Recipe for Second Chances, arriving in September 2023 (can’t wait to read it!) Hailing from Charleston North Carolina, she now lives in New York with her husband and 3 kids. Ali is the perfect guest for this discussion about whether frozen foods are less healthy than fresh (spoiler: they are NOT!), as well as how food and freezing technology has come a long way from your grandma’s fridge, the biggest mistake you probably don’t know you’re making (hint: it’s got something to do with serving size) and the benefits that you could be reaping from opting for certain easy picks in the frozen aisle at the grocery store.

It’s fast approaching that time of the year that brings colder weather, warm gatherings with family and friends - and for some, a lot of anxiety about how to stay on track with healthy eating, despite the holidays. While I advocate for eating what you want on the day of, I know that advice doesn’t work for everyone. You see, for many people it’s not just a single day, or two, of celebration that there’s pressure to over-indulge…it may be the full six weeks from Thanksgiving to New Years. So, in that spirit, I have 10 healthy tips that you can put into practice now - before the season officially kicks off - to help you feel better and maintain some balance as we approach 2023.

SO many people try one diet or another in the pursuit of eating healthier, but are they succeeding? In this episode I am joined by Dr. Zach Conrad, a nutritional epidemiologist, who has recently published a study titled “Quality of popular diet patterns in the United States: evaluating the effect of substitutions for foods high in added sugar, sodium, saturated fat, and refined grains.” It might be a long title, but it barely scratches the surface of how interesting their findings are. For example, 50% of the US population has tried some kind of popular (or as I would say, fad) diet in the past year (many of them more than one!). And according to the study’s findings, the general population diet is scoring around 57% out of 100%, with many of the other diets falling close behind. Dr. Zach discusses some of the study’s other surprising results, why he himself is an advocate of small changes for healthy eating, and why step number one in getting our diets healthier might just be getting rid of labeling them to begin with... All this and more in this episode - check it out!

Registered dietitian Jackie London is back for another round! You might remember Jackie, author of Dressing on the Side: and Other Diet Myths Debunked, and podcast host of On the Side with Jackie London, from all the way back to episode 5 of The Keri Report when we discussed whether weight loss and body acceptance can co-exist. I was prompted to bring Jackie back on by an Instagram post she made about why she’s anti-diet, but NOT anti-weight loss! We talk about: the benefits of normalizing compassionate healthy eating for weight loss; the conflation of personal experience with expertise; Jackie’s top 5 tips for weight loss; why “diet” seems to have become another 4-letter word (but why weight loss shouldn’t be) - and more!

Welcome back to the Season 3 premiere of the Keri Report! I’m catching up on some of the pros and cons behind the hottest popular social media trends from over the summer - so, yes, I did hop on the dreaded TikTok. I give my two cents on the chia seed cleanse (AKA the “internal shower”, and no, I’m not making that up), the effects of a plant-based diet to treat psoriasis (beyond just the study of one Kim Kardashian), and the case for hypnosis for weight loss (and why the discussion around it made me say a third “but” this episode.)
So, buckle up - I’ve got great plans in store for Season 3!

This episode is season 2’s finale–but before I send you on your way for the summer, I wanted to talk to you about some hot nutrition topics that are trending on social media. These include: the “Healthy Coke” trend, the GOLO Diet, and Hailey Bieber’s smoothie for glowing skin. I debunk some of these trends–but I also talk about ways in which they may have merit, and how you can do some DIY at home.
See you in the fall!

I’ll be honest–from the get-go, I have been pretty negative about intermittent fasting, for many reasons. In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Stephens, a registered dietitian and certified specialist in sports nutrition. Amy and I talk all about the different types of intermittent fasting, there are many, who would and wouldn’t benefit from this diet, and how it relates to athletic performance. Who knows, I might be slightly changing my opinion.

There is no shortage of diets out there and many unfortunately are not great for your overall health. In this episode, I walk you through the process of starting the popular Noom diet – including the types of questions you're asked from the beginning, their traffic-light food system, and the calorie amounts given. Some of the diet may be a little confusing, at least to me; however, the biggest question is whether or not Noom is in denial about their plan being an actual diet.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Justin Green, the Director of Scientific Affairs at Cargill Health Technologies.

In this episode, I’m revisiting a topic I covered waaay back in Episode 11: “How Does Beef Fit Into Our Diet and a Healthy Planet”. To me, this topic is still confusing since many experts seem to have differing opinions and approaches. Enter registered dietitian extraordinaire Kate Geagan, the Co-Founder of Food and Planet. Kate and I talk about how current food systems are not sustainable, the environmental impacts of plant vs. animal diets, and is it even possible to eat beef without feeling guilty about its impact on our planet?
P.S. Both Kate and I confess to being beef eaters!

Every year, the Environmental Working Group releases the Dirty Dozen, a list of conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables with the highest levels of pesticide residues. And every year, this list generates unnecessary consumer concern.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tamika Sims, Ph.D., the Senior Director of Food Technology Communications for the International Food Information Council. We talk about the difference between organic and conventional farming, natural and synthetic pesticides, and how consumers shouldn’t be worried about the Dirty Dozen.

CBD, a chemical in the cannabis plant, seems to be everywhere these days. It’s in everything from drinks to pet products to gummies–and it comes with a whole bunch of health claims. But can CBD really help with things like anxiety, pain and autism? In this episode, I’m joined by Janice Bissex, a Holistic Cannabis Practitioner, and the founder of Jannabis Wellness. Janice and I define a lot of terms (for ex: cannabis vs. hemp, full spectrum vs. broad spectrum), and talk about proper dosages, how to tell if a product is safe, possible side effects, and how exactly CBD can help.

I am thrilled to be joined by one of my oldest and dearest friends, Dr. Melissa Freizinger. Dr. Freizinger is the Associate Director of the Eating Disorder Program in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and the Department of Psychiatry at Boston Children’s Hospital.
We chat about who is most susceptible to developing a negative body image from social media, what platforms have the biggest impact, and honestly, how it may affect each and every one of us in different ways.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Christopher Mohr, co-creator of the sleep course: Make Healthy a Habit: 21 Days to Better Sleep. We discuss many strategies for improved sleep, including which, if any, herbs help, how diet, alcohol and exercise play a role, and the amount of sleep we really need.

In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian and co-author of Sugar Shock, Samantha Cassetty. We discuss the impacts of overeating sugar, the types of sugar to avoid, sugar and habit-forming behaviors, managing cravings, and training your tastebuds.

Protein powder has been a major player in recent popular food trends. But are these trends using protein powder properly? And at the end of the day, do you even need protein powder? In this episode, I’m joined by Sports Registered Dietitian and Greenletes podcast host, Natalie Rizzo. We discuss the many types of protein powders that exist, what to look for to ensure you’re actually getting what it says on the bottle, and whether you really need protein powder at all.

In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian, Kate Scarlata, author of The Low-FODMAP Diet Step By Step.

I have a complicated relationship with TikTok, and it isn’t necessarily helped by some of the popular food trends that come out of it. In my Season 2 premiere episode, I take you through three food and beverage trends that dominated TikTok this summer: proffee, fruit dipped in protein powder, and frozen honey. Is there any benefit to these “hacks”? You might be surprised by my conclusions.

For years there's been a great debate between plant-based diets and animal-based diets. Recently there was a new study to come out comparing a low-fat plant-based diet and a low-carb animal-based diet, aimed at getting to some sort of answer. In this episode, I break it all down to see if there's any conclusion as to whether one is actually better than the other. ---

For a lot of people, the trip to the grocery store can be overwhelming, not just because of all the options but because it's hard to know what's really good for you.

It seems like every month there's a new "listicle" that talks about the "top 10 superfoods" that you should be eating. As an RDN, I can't help but cringe because often these lists are limited, expensive and quite frankly, pointless.
In this episode, DJ Blatner, RDN, CSSD and Author of The Superfood Swap, joins me to take a hard look at what makes a superfood and where they fit into a balanced diet. Is there any difference between "superfoods" and foods that are just plain good for you?

Why is a diet that’s been around for almost 10 years suddenly getting popular all over again? In this episode, I break down the Whole 30 Diet, what it is, who created it and if it's really worth giving it a try. If you've listened to my show before you'll know that I'm not typically a big fan of fad diets, and the Whole 30 is no exception. But for something that's been so popular for so long, could this program actually have any merit?

Many of you have likely heard about the F Factor Diet, even if only recently due to the headlines surrounding it. I wanted to take this episode as an opportunity to weigh in on this diet that's been around for 20 years. I will talk about the importance of fiber for our health and how best to consume it, whether or not it is okay to want to lose weight, and the role food intolerances may play in our choice of products. Lastly, I will touch on how I am disheartened by the way social media is sometimes used as a battleground. ---

Coconut oil has surfaced over the last couple of years, with claims that it can heal and prevent all sorts of things, from Alzheimers to cancer. These are big claims that in a society obsessed with "natural medicine", many of us can only hope to be true. In this episode I discuss numerous studies that tackle these claims to see if they really have any credibility. So, is coconut oil a healthy oil alternative, or is there more to it - because believing claims versus reality can sometimes be a VERY slippery slope! ---

Together we reflect on the health challenges we've all been facing and hopefully help you move forward in a compassionate and healthy manner. ---

As far as most people know, collagen is something that prevents wrinkles. But what is it really and does it actually have health benefits? In this episode, I break down the science of collagen so you can make the right choice when it comes to supplements. And speaking of science, what about all those ingredients you can't pronounce on your food items? Are these food additives safe and why are they even there to begin with? Finally, breakfast: we've all be trained to think that it's the most important meal of the day. I dissect whether the power of breakfast is fact or fiction. ---

Over the last few years, gluten has earned itself a bad reputation. Sure, your friends might say they feel better on a gluten-free diet, but is it really necessary for you? In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest diet trends I've seen and why gluten-free is NOT for everyone. A *new* diet fad has also hit the media, the Sirtfood Diet. This diet was recently made popular by Adele after her massive weight-loss this year, so I explain what exactly it is along with its health claims? And then there is allulose - have you heard of it? I walk you through this new-found sugar alternative and discuss whether or not it is safe to try. ---

Keri tackles three topics in nutrition that keep coming up over and over again: intermittent fasting, coffee detoxs and vegan cookies. These three fads have claimed benefits when in comes to wellness and weigh-loss, but let's look at the science. Does intermittent fasting have fact-based results, and what are they? Do you NEED coffee to function, or should you avoid it all together? Vegan cookies: are they "good for you", or should you stick to an old-fashioned chocolate chip? All these questions answered, and more in this episode of the Keri Report. ---

Long before this global pandemic, I was seeing "magic" supplements circling around the internet as the ultimate cure for the common cold and flu. Unfortunately, I now see them more than ever. In this episode, I dissect the scientific studies on how effective the four most talked about supplements are. I also get real about the annual Dirty Dozen list from the Environmental Working Group. What does it mean to call a fruit or vegetable "clean" or "dirty", and should we even be worried about pesticides in our produce to begin with? And lastly a question on everyone's mind: what exactly is a a plant-based or plant-forward diet? ---
