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!

No nonsense
I started following Dr. Chavez on Instagram and found his podcast there. I like how he is a source I can trust given his PhD in Nutrition, and how he uses science and sites actual studies to back up his claims. He cuts through all the influencer noise and explains things in a way that make sense. Thank you and keep up the good work, Dr. Chavez!

So refreshing to hear facts and practical life tips
I’ve been following on Instagram for awhile and am a new listener to the podcast. I so appreciate that I can trust what you say and that you’re bringing the true science of nutrition and health and not just trends. I love that I can get answers to basic questions, bust myths and get nuanced information to feel better informed. Thank you so much!

Practical and Grounded Nutrition Advice
I am really enjoying the short, direct and approachable podcasts Dr. Chavez is putting out. His scientific (but also very humanistic) approach leaves me feeling educated and empowered. A great resource for straight-forward nutrition advice in an age of overwhelming noise around the topic.

Tells it like it is
Dr. Chavez doesn’t mince words and has no time for quackery. I’m happy that I am seeing more and more science based podcasts available.

Great listen!
Dr Chavez has significantly calmed down my food anxiety! However, because he seems to be very lax about almost everything, I do have a different type of concern sometimes. Overall, I love his content!

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.

So trustworthy
I found Dr. Chavez on Instagram and heard about the podcast. I listened to two episodes and went back to the beginning and have listened to so many episodes so far. He not only shares valuable information, but also the research behind it. The more I listen to people on social media, the more I got confused about what I should be eating. After listening to him, I feel much more confident about what I should eat, and the lifestyle that goes along with it to be healthy.

Realistic approach.
I have been wanting to educate myself more on nutrition and am so glad I found this podcast. I went through a few others that didn’t seem reputable at all. All of your points are very realistic and sustainable. I like how in a couple episodes you mentioned crash diets being pointless because Lord knows I’ve been on that roller coaster and never want to back. Very helpful and insightful.

Great tips and resources
I love this podcast so much, he gives such great information and tips. I especially like the Q&A episodes. He answers all of the questions in quick episodes. There is no fear mongering and if he isn’t knowledgeable in an area he will say so and gives other people to follow in the areas that can help. The episodes are short and to the point.

Variety of topics, studies & research included- LOVE!
I’ve listened to most of the episodes of this podcast and I LOVE that his goal is to help people live their best lives and not waste money on marketing gimmicks in the nutrition world. He’s honest, provides the studies and research for the information he is providing. I love this podcast. There’s so much misinformation out there, this is a great podcast to listen to in order to get back to the basics! I love it thank you!!!!

Great information
I started by following you on Instagram and as a healthcare professional and communicator have always appreciated your well researched information. I’m so glad to have your podcast to be able to hear your perspective in longer form!! I highly recommend this podcast and your social media accounts as it helps fight misinformation, prevent people from wasting money on unnecessary supplements and gimmicky diets, and most importantly, helps people have a healthier relationship with food.

Facts don’t require our approval!
As another great podcaster (Sharon McMahon) says often, “Facts don’t require your approval!” Dr. Chavez’s podcast is full of facts and clear cut information about all things nutrition science and I couldn’t love it more! In addition to countless episodes about how our bodies respond to what we put in them, he also takes the time to respond to and/or debunk current claims, products, and news stories with thoughtful evidence based information. He is truly a calming expert and a breath of fresh air in this overwhelming environment of nutrition and wellness. Try one episode (if you are new I suggest starting with a Q&A or a topic you are interested in) and you will be hooked!

Dr. Chavez is the voice you want in your ear!
This podcast is one of my absolute favorites to recommend! Always a well-balanced take acknowledging both the importance of positive lifestyle habits as your “big boulders” in the foundation of your health, while letting you know when to quit wasting your time with the tiny pebbles. As a science-lover who also loves to worry, I appreciate how Adrian addresses specific hazards, while explaining the actual risk.

Informative, science based, practical, & interesting
Listen to this podcast! Dr. Chavez is sharing quality information in an easy to follow format and addressing relevant topics. There’s so much misinformation out there and this is an expert who stays in his lane and gives well rounded information. He also promotes a healthy relationship with food and movement - no rigid rules. So many people promote disordered eating habits in the name of wellness and nutrition and Dr Chavez helps cut through that nonsense. As a personal trainer and coach I recommend this to my clients and athletes

Highly recommend
Dr. Chavez shares only research based information on nutrition, exercise, and health. He comes from an unbiased perspective with respect to all different dietary preferences. He quite literally cuts through the noise that is social media, random google articles, biased research studies and gives facts. There is so much garbage out there and Dr. Chavez helps to weed it out to help everyone looking for it make sense of what healthy really is. As a certified nutrition health coach i can’t recommend his podcast enough. It’s a regular go to for supporting my clients.
