While nutrition does go hand in hand with fitness and health, today, we want to look solely at the concept of nutrition. That’s because the food you eat, can be much more important than those weights you just lifted or those miles you just ran. Especially if you aren’t eating the correct amount and type of food that is best suited for your goals.

In addition, how our body utilizes and consumes food is ultimately a science, and understanding how it works can help us better grasp complementing areas of focus like health and fitness.

I would recommend listening to these podcasts while you’re at the gym or preparing a home cooked meal. These are the best places to get into the mindset of getting the proper nutrition, and by multi-tasking, you can more efficiently use your time.

So without further ado, here are the 11 best podcasts focused solely on nutrition!

#11 Food in Session Nutrition Podcast

Your food education starts here! Not subscribing to any one “diet”, we are on a mission to help you learn to cook and learn to eat- two simple things made complicated by the internet and those friends telling you that “you should” eat this or try that diet.

We created Food in Session to help you build a nutrition knowledge base and allow you to decide the best path for you and your family’s nutrition needs. Large family, small family, single guy or gal?? We’ve got you covered.

Eat healthy foods and you’ll live a long and healthy life- easier said than done! Unless you were taught by a parent or grandparent how to cook and eat healthy, it’s likely you didn’t learn it in school. We hope you enjoy Food in Session as much as we enjoy cooking and eating (Mindy really likes the occasional slice of “raw” Velveeta and Emily is a sucker for Moon Pies- yes, even we have our indulgences!).
