Description
One thing that bothered me when I had social media was the amount of information, or rather misinformation, about nutrition that people would share. People that are a part of multi level marketing companies (MLM’s) were claiming they were nutrition experts without any valid qualifications.
These companies can cause harm to people who trust and purchase these products that are not regulated or backed by science. Abby Langer, a Registered Dietitian, joined me to help guide my listeners on what to look out for when it comes to nutritional products on social media.
Abby Langer has been a Registered Dietitian since 1999. When she is not working, she is spending time with her husband and two daughters, staying active, and trying out new recipes. She has worked in clinical nutrition, nutrition media, and consulting. Abby has won awards for her teaching and is passionate about all aspects of nutrition, from physiology to teaching to cooking. She does not stress diets, but rather focuses on a balanced lifestyle through intuitive eating.
In this episode we discuss:
Reasons you should not consider the Medical Medium a medical professional
How people use misleading professional titles to gain credibility
Why you shouldn’t take nutritional advice from MLM companies
When it’s beneficial to take vitamins and supplements
Resources Mentioned:
Check out Abby’s book, Good Food, Bad Diet
Episode 35, Debunking Food Industry Myths with Erin from Food Science Babe
