This week we welcomed Abby Langer, RD.  Abby is an outspoken proponent of evidence-based nutrition, who has no tolerance for misinformation. Abby has devoted her career to breaking down dietary myths and challenging those who disseminate false nutrition and weight loss advice.  In this conversation, Abby dives into nutrition myths, negative core values, such as "I am what I eat,"  and discusses her new book, "Good Food, Bad Diet."  
Abby is most known for her no BS approach to nutrition communication and can frequently be found on Twitter challenging health and wellness gurus for disseminating false information.  We loved this conversation, and appreciated her blunt and honest approach to nutrition.
