Great Science-Based Podcast
I have learned so much information about nutrition from this podcast! It has really changed how and what I eat. Dr. Chavez (who has a PhD in nutrition) discusses nutrition studies in a way that is very easy to understand and then makes appropriate recommendations based on the science. I am truly grateful to learn the best ways to feed my body, based on an amazing body of scientific literature. Thank you Dr. Chavez!

GOAT
He’s an icon, a legend💃🏼I’m a nutrition science student and I listen to this (and Dr. Joey Munoz) on my morning walks. It’s a really positive way to start my day. He does a FANTASTIC job of providing unbiased and easy to apply nutrition/exercise practices. It’s simple yet informative and I always learn new tidbits of things. Can’t recommend it enough!

Dietitian recommended!
This podcast is a great resource for my patients that want to delve deeper into very relevant nutriton topics and receive evidenced based information without fluff or the selling of special diets/supplements that I so commonly see with these types of podcasts. Great work, please keep this going!

I am a Registered Dietitian for over 30 years and even with all the CEUs that I have completed there is still room to learn more! I am so thankful that I have stumbled upon this podcast and love how he explains the science without bias and so easy for everyone to understand. I will continue to share this podcast with others.

Grateful for this podcast
I am so grateful for this research-based, no nonsense podcast. It is helpful for the every day person wanting to learn more about what health behaviors actually work, and for people in the health industry wanting to stay up-to-date on the latest research. The Nutrition Science podcast also honors the nuances within their insights (for example, not every health behavior works for every body). This podcast is balanced, scientific, and thoughtful.

Good except for guest discussions
I like this show a lot and find it so helpful. I’ve listened to every episode. Your latest “hey dude” discussion w Dr Munoz was so fast paced, full of jargon and all over the map that it was really hard to follow. Please slow down, speak in layman’s terms and summarize each point. Thanks! Update 2/22/24 I really loved the Health at Every Size episode! So awesome. The latest discussion w your body training pharmacist friend was so confusing and full of jargon and unexplained acronyms. I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Please try to clarify what your guests are saying in plainer language. Also I found the insane level of focus on calories kind of disturbing.
Update 5/20/24. Adrian you had a guest on your latest episode and barely let her get a word in edgewise! Ask your guests questions, and then be quiet and let them talk!

Evidence-based podcast!
I've thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Chavez podcast! I recently started a new position as a Nutrition Educator. I hold a Doctor of Medicine degree and a Master of Public Health degree alongside being a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). Right now, my goal is to become a subject matter expert in nutrition.
This podcast provides such a wealth of knowledge from various health professionals, which Chavez has vetted himself to ensure accurate medical information. I like how Chavez stops his guests at certain moments so that we can actually take time to comprehend and digest the information, especially when using scientific or advanced terms.
I've enjoyed every aspect of the podcast; and, of course, I've also loved the humor aspects in the episodes. The best part, I think, is debunking a myriad of myths in the nutrition world so that we can learn to better educate our community. I've also been guilty, as we all have been or currently are, of believing inaccurate/biased data.
I really appreciate your podcast!!! 100% recommend if you want professions to truly open your eyes.

Love this podcast!
As I have gotten older, I have started becoming more concerned about how things like the food I eat can affect my health in the long term. However, It can be so hard lately to weed out fake nutrition information these days. I love that Dr Adrian breaks down science backed nutrition information that is not steeped in bias in a digestible (pun intended) way. Thanks for what you’re doing!

One of the Best Science-Based Podcasts.
I am so grateful I found this podcast. Dr. Chavez provides nuanced, in depth episodes that avoid the pitfalls all too common on most, namely sound bites and promoting bogus or biased claims. I have learned so much from him As someone with an ED (and ED-triggered GI issues), I immensely appreciate his GI and eating disorder episode It actually helped me stick with my ED intensive treatment program and NOT remove any food from my diet (because it’s usually resolved when people sustain recovery and people with ED often use GI issues as reasons to restrict believing we have to). I’m grateful for this podcast and for his work. 10/10 will and HAVE recommended.

Evidence-based nutrition!
Want to cut through all the hype and noise about nutrition that we see online?! Listen to this podcast! I love Dr. Adrian Chavez’ honest and evidence-based discussions on nutrition and food. What you won’t find is a bunch of fear-mongering or preaching. You WILL get thoughtful information on what research says about human nutrition. And you’ll feel empowered to make better food choices as a result. Thanks Dr. Chavez for being a voice of reason in a sea of confusion. 💚💚💚

Fantastic
Podcast is excellent for both professionals and the layperson alike. I have listened from the beginning and always learn something new. Great variety of topics within nutrition, but always something I’m interested in learning more about. Thanks for being a voice of clarity in a realm rampant with misinformation.

Nutrition information backed by science. What a concept!
Dr. Chavez tackles the topics that are so misrepresented by “Big Wellness.” He breaks down the science into easily “digested” facts. I highly recommend this podcast as well as his social media accounts.

Great listen!
There is so much misinformation, fear, and confusion around food and nutrition in the age of “wellness” influencers and endless fear mongers headlines. I’ve always found the science around these things interesting and the information you get on this podcast is so fascinating. It’s helping me with my messed up relationship with food.

Clear, precise, and reliable information
As a yoga teacher and personal trainer for over 20 years, I have seen my share of fads and fear mongering over food and nutrition. I appreciate Adrian’s knowledge and ability to bring honest and useful information to help us become healthier and smarter when it comes to nutrition and our diets.

Practical, “bigger picture” podcast
Dr. Chavez is always evidence based and does a great job breaking down a topic. He really does, as he says, “cuts through the noise” and is a voice of reason among a sea of other “experts” who perpetuate pseudoscience and fear mongering. Worth a listen!

Addicted
I have to confess that I am somewhat addicted to listening to Dr. Chavez’ podcast. He has helped to reinforce a lot of things that I thought were true about nutrition but was somewhat confused by social media claims that we all encounter and for that I am very grateful. What keeps me listening is that his podcasts are so easy to follow and he breaks down the vocabulary so I am able to fit it into my busy schedule. As a teacher myself, I can tell you that he puts a lot of thought and effort behind his work since his material is very well organized. He will often repeat key phrases for reinforcement and even provides a summary at the end. Dr Chavez is genuine, trustworthy, gives practical nutrition advice and he really cares about people. I hope he continues producing this very valuable podcast.

As a scientist myself, I really enjoyed this podcast
I appreciate the format, and the review of the current literature on questions related to nutrition and the environment. It’s evidence based, which is very important, we need more good science on nutrition. And the science we do have often gets distorted or reported on incorrectly so I appreciate Dr. Chavez’s approach.

Practical and actionable content for the everyday person!
Dr Chavez is a wealth of nutrition knowledge. Not only that, he has a gift for breaking down the science of nutrition in easy to understand ways for everyone to learn from while also addressing nuances. As a physician, I love finding practical and evidence based resources to share with my patients as they navigate their weight management journey and I share this podcast with them. There are VERY FEW social media accounts I trust and this podcast & Dr Chavez’s Instagram page is one of them! Unfortunately there is some not so great nutrition and health information out there so it is refreshing to find Dr Chavez’s content!
