Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, Wendy tackles one of the most confusing and contradictory corners of modern life: diet culture. From the "evils" of carbs to the necessity of sunrise celery juice, it's easy to feel emotionally held hostage by the latest trends! With rules that seem to change every seven seconds, we can quickly begin to feel that we're outsourcing our intuition to algorithms and influencers. Wendy challenges the idea that health should feel like a part-time job or require a massive grocery budget. She pulls back the curtain on "emotional purchases" and the rackets designed to sell us hope and insecurity in a $68 jar. Instead of chasing the next biohack, this episode is an invitation to get back to the basics: water, movement, whole foods, and medical data over TikTok advice. Let's take a hard look at our kitchen and our routines. Keep what truly makes you feel good, and kick the rest to the curb!
