From pregnancy food rules to the fear-based messaging around seed oils and formula, Dr. Nurick brings clarity and calm to a space often dominated by conflicting advice. Together, they explore how wellness culture can create unrealistic expectations for new parents, why fiber is your gut’s best friend, and how to build nutrient-dense meals without overthinking it. With humor, empathy, and a strong public health lens, Dr. Nurick reminds us that evidence-based information, not internet trends, is what supports real families. Inside this episode: The influence of Dr. Nurick’s personal story on her career in nutrition The harm of misinformation during pregnancy and postpartum The truth about seed oils and why they’re not the enemy Practical, realistic tips for feeding families The microbiome’s love language: fiber How wellness culture often fails (and pressures) new moms The rise of crunchy mom narratives and how to separate fact from fear How to identify credible nutrition sources The bigger picture: public health, food access, and social support And so much more!
