from 2022-05-10T10:00
Research around digestive health is constantly changing, and it is one of those areas where we don’t necessarily know all the answers. This week I interview RD Abby Langer on fighting nutrition misinformation and debunking some popular digestive health claims.
Abby Langer has been a Registered Dietitian since 1999. Abby is passionate about all aspects of nutrition, from physiology to teaching to cooking. Her approach to nutrition is permissive and relaxed, and she is a true believer in living your best life without dieting. She has written in depth about debunking fad diets and nutrition myths and focuses on body respect and intuitive-style eating.
When she’s not working, Abby loves running, spinning, discovering new foods, and spending time with her husband and two daughters.
We talk about:
- How Langer became passionate in fighting nutrition misinformation
- Some of the worst gut health offenders
- Current claims and popular myths in the digestive health field
- Tips for dietitians looking to tackle misinformation and what to watch for
- How to be vigilant when so many things look credible
- How to address when other dietitians promote things that aren’t evidence based
- The importance of keeping up to date with scientific research
- Tips to consider when trying to make sense of research findings and which types of evidence are stronger than others
