Protein
In this episode we discuss different types of protein intake, the advantages and disadvantages of high protein diets, and the optimal amount of protein consumption for different age groups. As always, consult a dietitian to find healthy, affordable, and easy ways to incorporate a wide variety of protein sources, especially if you have other chronic health issues.

Gluten
In this episode we explore gluten, Celiac disease, and the evidence behind utilizing gluten-free diets as a weight loss tool.

- NCGS and the benefits of a GFD are reported amongst patients with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and non intestinal disorders such as neuropsychiatric diseases and fibromyalgia. However, no reliable biomarkers currently exist to diagnose NCGS and hence confirmatory testing can only be performed using double-blind placebo-controlled gluten-based challenges. Unfortunately, such tests are not available in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, recent novel studies have highlighted the role of other gluten-based components in contributing to the symptoms of self-reported NCGS. These include fermentable oligo, di, mono-saccharides and polyols, amylase trypsin inhibitors, and wheat germ agglutinins. Therefore, NCGS is now seen as a spectrum encompassing several biological responses and terms such as 'non coeliac wheat sensitivity' have been suggested as a wider label to define the condition.

On average, GF pastas had only 37% of the fibre in GC pastas (P < 0.0001). Notably, GF and GC flours were equivalent in nutrient content. Despite GF and GC flours having similar nutritional content, the vast majority of the processed GF foods fell short in key nutrients.

Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet has been prescribed medically as a regimen for children with refractory seizures. It has since gained popularity recently as a weight loss strategy. This diet is important to understand because of its effect on overall body physiology in order to best counsel patients, especially as patients may be bringing it up more frequently as a current "fad diet"!

There is a lot of nitty gritty in dietary modifications recommended for patients with diabetes. In this episode, we make it simple, realistic, and high yield for practitioners to better motivate real dietary changes for their patients.

Intermittent Fasting
An up-and-coming fad diet that has rapidly gained interest. What do we know about it and how can we advise patients that have questions?

Vegetarian
Vegetarian diets are often pursued for health benefits. What makes a vegetarian diet healthy and how can we best guide patients to avoid complications and maximize the health benefits of plant-based diets (vegetarian or not)?

Cholesterol
Cholesterol is hot and controversial topic for both patients and providers. How can we understand the evidence to better partner with patients trying to make healthy choices that maximize benefits on serum cholesterol?

Beverages
Although easy to overlook, beverage consumption (specifically, sugar sweetened beverages) can have profound effects on a person's health. Here, we discuss how to advise patients and what the research says as far as beverage consumption for all ages.

Studies evaluating added sugars in children are limited [25]. Pending additional information, these consensus guidelines seem reasonable.This limit is based upon the recommendation in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans to limit discretionary kilocalories (ie, those available for consumption as added sugars or solid fats after essential daily nutrient requirements are met) to 6 to 10 percent of total daily energy intake [57]; the 2015 Dietary Guidelines suggest limiting added sugars to
Approach
What is an effective way to begin conversations about diet and nutrition discussions in a health care setting? This episode serves as a foundation for future podcasts, including important general concepts to keep in mind for all nutrition counseling.
