Are you really getting enough protein as an athlete, or are social media food rules steering you wrong? In this episode, we break down one of the most commonly asked questions in nutrition and explain what protein needs actually look like for athletes in real life.

We react to viral nutrition content that shocks people, like recommending Rice Krispy treats for athletes, and explain why sugar is not the enemy when it comes to fueling performance. We dive into purposeful snacking, ingredient obsession, and how carbohydrate sources support training, recovery, and consistency for athletes.

You will also hear our unfiltered take on the word "healthy" and why labeling foods as good or bad often hurts athlete performance more than it helps. If you are an athlete confused about protein intake, sugar, snacks, or what "healthy eating" even means anymore, this episode is your reset.

This conversation is for athletes who want better performance without burnout, food guilt, or chasing perfection. Expect nuance, science, and practical takeaways you can actually use.

CGMs and GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but should everyone be using them? In this episode, Andrew Wade, registered dietitian and CEO of Case Specific Nutrition, is joined by Brad and Hillary, both registered dietitians and lead clinicians at their own offices, to break down the most common question they hear in practice: should non-diabetics get a CGM to improve their health?

Together, they explore how to interpret CGM data, the risks of chasing numbers without context, and what happens when "optimization" replaces foundational health behaviors. The conversation also covers the growing role of GLP-1 medications, recent updates around accessibility and pricing, and why cost reductions can be both a promising step forward and a potential risk depending on how these medications are used.

Brad and Hillary react to the explosion of GLP-1 content on social media, including patches, supplements, and "natural" protocols, and unpack ingredient obsessions like probiotics and Akkermansia. Through real client stories, they challenge weight loss expectations, highlight why eating more, building muscle, and fueling adequately can sometimes drive better results, and reinforce a core message from clinical practice: GLP-1s without lifestyle change are not the shortcut people hope they will be.
