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.
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!
Love the Podcast!
I love listening to this podcast. It’s always very informative and he always has the best guests! He does an excellent job of citing research and I trust his science-based approach. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
