How to Spot Bad Nutrition Science Online

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Matthew Nagra to discuss why nutrition science is far less confusing than social media makes it appear. We examine how diet ideology, selective evidence, and exaggerated health claims distort public understanding, including within the plant-based community. Matthew explains what the strongest research consistently supports and shares a practical approach to change: focus on the foundations, apply the same standards to every claim, and help people improve one realistic choice at a time. \- - - - - **About the Guest:** **Dr. Matthew Nagra** is a naturopathic doctor and evidence-based nutrition educator who combines clinical practice with public education across social media.
