What happens when trying to be "healthy" starts taking up more space in your life than you realize?

Social media has completely changed the way we talk about food, fitness, appearance, and our bodies. From "gymmaxxing" and "looksmaxxing" to What I Eat in a Day videos and the endless stream of nutrition lingo, it can be difficult to tell where health-focused content ends and harmful thinking begins.

In this episode, Andrew Wade, CEO and Founder of Case Specific Nutrition and RDN, sits down with Danielle Marzella, MS, RDN, LDN, to unpack the current state of nutrition and body image on social media.

They discuss the language and trends taking over our feeds, why certain types of fitness and food content can be complicated, and how to think about social media when it starts affecting the way we view our bodies—or the way we think we're "supposed" to eat and look.

They also talk about how to politely push back when someone crosses a line, and the important distinction between your physical body and your body image.

Whether you spend hours on fitness TikTok or simply occasionally find yourself comparing your body, food choices, or habits to people online, this conversation offers a chance to step back and look at what we're consuming beyond the nutrition information itself.

Fibermaxxing. Berberine. Electrolytes. Hunger cues. There is so much nutrition advice online right now — but what's actually worth your time?

In this episode, three registered dietitians are breaking down some of the biggest nutrition trends and questions people are asking:

✏️ On the Agenda

0:00 - Introduction

4:45 — What is Fibermaxxing and should I be doing it?

21:38 — Should I be take Berberine?

30:05 — Should I be drinking electrolytes every day?

43:28 — How Can I Reconnect with My Hunger and Fullness Cues

57:04— Just because its simple doesn't mean it's easy

As dietitians, our goal is to help you separate evidence-based nutrition advice from the internet hype — while also recognizing that knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by nutrition trends, confused about what supplements you "need," or frustrated that healthy eating feels harder than it should, this episode is for you.
