Why Nutrition Advice Is So Confusing (and What Actually Matters) | S03-E03 Nourish MD Podcast

Registered dietitian Meg Tancredi, MS, RD breaks down what RDs actually study, why their training matters, and how to make sense of a world full of conflicting nutrition information. She explains why weight loss is more complex than “calories in, calories out,” what metabolism really does, how to think about supplements, and why sustainable change comes from habits and mindset rather than extremes. Meg’s background in Educational Psychology and Nutrition, Healthspan, and Longevity at USC shapes her evidence‑based approach to helping people build realistic, sustainable health habits grounded in clarity and compassion.
