Finley Funston drops in and we are not holding back. Finley is a nutritionist, co-owner of Madabolic Charlotte, and one of the sharpest voices cutting through the noise in the nutrition space. We dig into why dieting culture is broken, why extremes sell, and why most of what you see on social media about food is flat-out wrong.

We talk seed oils, aspartame, orthorexia, metabolism myths, menopausal nutrition, under-eating while injured, processed foods, and why your Diet Coke is not going to kill you. Finley also breaks down her actual approach with clients — maintenance phases, conservative deficits, and how she gets people to stop treating food like the enemy.

This one is real, funny, and genuinely useful. If you eat food, this episode is for you.
