Episode 102: Will creatine make you bald?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/05/01

I get asked about this all the time—does creatine cause hair loss? So I thought I’d clear the air. There’s one study people always point to where they saw an increase in DHT levels (a hormone linked to hair loss) in guys taking creatine. But here’s the thing—just because something is statistically significant doesn’t mean it actually makes a difference in the real world. That’s a super important distinction. Also, a lot of the fear around this comes from seeing bodybuilders who take creatine ...

Episode 101: Do you need a preworkout?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/24

In this episode, I’m diving into the world of pre-workout supplements—because let’s be honest, it’s a jungle out there. I break down what’s actually in them (caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine), what those ingredients really do, and how much you actually need. I also chat through who might benefit from a pre-workout, and who probably doesn’t need to spend the money. Spoiler alert: it’s not essential for everyone. And like always, I remind you that no supplement can outdo solid...

Episode 100: How Much Protein is Too Much?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/17

In this episode, I chat about the difference between getting enough protein and getting the right amount for you. I break down why those standard government guidelines around protein might keep you out of deficiency, sure—but they’re not necessarily helping you feel your best, especially if your goals include things like holding onto muscle, managing your appetite, or just having more energy day-to-day. I also touch on how your ideal protein intake depends on your body and your goals—it...

Episode 99: Are Fake Meats Healthy?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/10

In this conversation, I dive into the whole fake meat thing—what’s actually in them, how they stack up nutritionally, and why some of the hype (both good and bad) doesn’t always hold up. A lot of people assume fake meats are automatically healthier than the real deal, but it’s not that simple. I talk through the differences between products, what to look out for on the label, and some of the sneaky stuff no one really talks about. Time Stamps 00:00 Introduction to Fake Meats 02:57...

Episode 98: Food Wastage & Weight Loss

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/04/03

In this chat, I talk about how food waste can actually mess with your weight loss goals. You know those times you finish your kids’ meals or eat the scraps left on the table? Yeah, that stuff adds up and can totally slow down your progress. I get it—it feels wasteful to throw food out. But here’s the thing: eating extra calories your body doesn’t need is just as wasteful, if not more.

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/03/27

In this episode, I talk about a different way to approach weight loss—by breaking it up into manageable phases. I explain why having clear targets and deadlines can actually boost motivation and help you stay on track. And instead of pushing non-stop, I’m a big fan of taking breaks and practicing maintenance along the way.

Episode 96: Hunger & Weight Loss

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/03/21

In this chat, I’m diving into the messy, often confusing world of hunger—especially when you’re trying to lose weight. I talk about how hunger is totally normal during a diet and why it’s so important to actually understand it, not just try to ignore or fight it. I share some down-to-earth strategies to manage hunger, from tweaking meal timing and what’s on your plate, to looking at how things like poor sleep or your menstrual cycle can mess with your hunger levels.

I talk about how hormones can affect everything from hunger to energy levels and why it’s so important to understand your own patterns.

Episode 94: Parasite Cleanses

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/03/06

So in this chat, I’m talking about parasite cleanses and some of the big misconceptions around them. They sound tempting because they claim to fix all these vague symptoms, but the reality is that actual parasite infections are pretty rare in developed countries. I wouldn’t recommend self-diagnosing—if you’re worried, it’s always best to see a doctor and get proper testing. We also get into the importance of overall diet quality and why anecdotal stories about cleanses can b...

Episode 93: Should I worry about preservatives?

Bite Me Nutrition ·

2025/02/27

In this chat, I talk about preservatives in food and why it’s not worth stressing over every little ingredient. Instead of getting caught up in avoiding certain foods, I focus on the bigger picture—eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods without overcomplicating things. I also share my thoughts on those food-rating apps that make quick judgments based on preservatives (spoiler: they’re not super helpful). The main takeaway? It’s better to focus on overall eating habit...

In this episode, I set the record straight on oats and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions out there. People often question whether oats spike blood sugar, lack protein, or contain too much phytic acid—but I break down the science to show why oats are actually a great addition to a healthy diet. From improving cholesterol to helping with blood sugar control, they’ve got some solid benefits. Time Stamps 00:00 Defending Oats: A Nutritional Perspective 02:51 Debunking Myt...

We chat about what a healthy diet really means, why a calorie deficit is key for shedding pounds, and the tricky balance between eating well and managing calories. Jenna points out that just because something is “healthy” doesn’t mean it’ll help you lose weight if you’re not keeping an eye on portions.
