Ep 9: The nutrition lesson you never got with Benson Morrison

This episode is NOT your typical polite wellness chat — it’s raw, hilarious, sweary, and packed with uncomfortable truths you won’t unhear.I sit down with Benson from Benson Detox, and we dive headfirst into the wild world of nutrition: why most people are eating breakfast like they’re fuelling for a marathon (but aren’t moving their bodies at all), the hidden sugar traps disguised as “health foods,” and how the narratives we’re fed about diet are often outdated, misleading, or straight-up backwards.We explore the politics of nutrition, the fearmongering around fat, the shocking impact of sugar on your hormones, mood, and cholesterol - and the part of the conversation that genuinely blew my mind and has never been shared before. No names, but… let’s just say some systems don’t like being questioned.Inside this episode, we unpack:Why your go-to “healthy breakfast” might be wrecking your energyAre oats and bananas actually helpful — or just glorified sugar bombs?Why we were told to fear fat (and what we should’ve been watching instead)Glucose spikes, cravings, mood swings & the truth behind themThe difference between eating for performance vs. eating out of habitHow to think for yourself when the wellness industry profits from confusionThe eyebrow-raising politics behind who gets to decide what’s “healthy”It’s equal parts science, sass, and “holy sh*t, did he just say that?”Find Benson Detox here:Benson Detox InstagramBenson Dinner InstagramBenson Detox Website
