The Nutrition Grouch Todd Weber, PhD The weight loss industry is, has been, and always will be a dumpster fire.  People like to say health & wellness (of which weight loss is a part of) is “broken” or full of “misinformation” but that is being too generous because it implies that some of it is good or that it is actually fixable.  It is damaged beyond repair.  If it were possible, I would burn it to the ground and start over.   While it is impractical to try to summarize what’s wrong with the industry in one podcast description, my premise is this: there is a truly astronomical amount of information that neither our media nor our professionals are able to communicate to you in a meaningful way without losing all context, applicability to real life, and/or the ability to see how all of the pieces fit together. The media should just stop covering health & wellness because their soundbites explain nothing and are little more than headlines and talking points.  They may raise awareness but not u Football Is Fixable, Alright?! Ces, Dan and James We’re here to fix football from the ground up, from bias to toxic football culture, and how to use stats correctly.
