A Real Dietitian

Send us Fan MailEpisode #86 is now live — Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS 🎙️ The award-nominated Scottish Podcast in Lifestyle, Health & WellbeingThis episode is a conversation that challenges the noise, confusion, and overwhelm surrounding modern health.I’m delighted to welcome Shannon Davis — A Real Dietitian — a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience and a leading voice in metabolic health.Shannon’s journey is anything but conventional. After years working across organ transplant, bariatrics, nephrology, dialysis, and pharmaceutical sales, she saw a growing pattern — too many people were being supported to manage symptoms, without addressing the deeper drivers behind chronic illness.Known as a “rogue dietitian,” Shannon stepped outside the traditional medical model to help people better understand metabolic health, insulin resistance, nutrition, and the lifestyle factors that influence long-term wellbeing.In this powerful discussion, we explore:🔹 How we’ve become overwhelmed and, in many cases, “brainwashed” by conflicting nutrition messages — from government guidelines to social media influencers 🔹 The confusion around cholesterol, statins, GLP-1 medications, and the growing world of weight loss drugs 🔹 The judgement people face around their health and wellbeing journeys 🔹 Why taking responsibility for your health starts with understanding, not fear 🔹 How small, informed steps can create meaningful changeShannon shares her experience, insights, and practical wisdom from building her own virtual metabolic health practice — combining evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and a deeper understanding of what it means to truly reclaim your health.This is another conversation designed to challenge assumptions, ask better questions, and put the focus back where it belongs — empowering people with knowledge.🎧 Listen to Episode #86 of Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS now — available on all major podcast platforms.If this conversation resonates, please consider subscribing, sharing, leaving a review, or sending your feedback.
