In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent discuss what causes kidney stones, warning signs to look out for, and how nutrition plays a crucial role in prevention. Find out why hydration is the most vital factor, how sugar, soda, sodium, and ultra-processed foods increase your risk, and why a balanced, real-food diet with enough magnesium and calcium can help protect your kidneys. If you’ve had a kidney stone before or want to lower your risk, this episode shares practical strategies to help prevent them from coming back.
In this Ask a Nutritionist episode, dietitian Alyssa Krejci explains the difference between fish oil and cod liver oil and how to choose the right one for your needs. Learn how omega-3 fats support heart, brain, and inflammation health, why EPA and DHA matter, and when cod liver oil’s added vitamin A and vitamin D may or may not be helpful. Alyssa also shares simple tips for choosing a quality omega-3 supplement and getting more omega-3s from foods like salmon, sardines, and mackerel.
The new Dietary Guidelines were recently released, and in this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, dietitians Teresa Wagner and Brandy Buro talk through the highlights and what they could mean for your health. They discuss key themes like prioritizing whole foods, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and reducing added sugars and ultra-processed foods, while offering practical insight on how to apply these ideas in real life.   
In this Ask a Nutritionist mini episode, dietitian Teresa Wagner breaks down what your pancreas actually does (hello, blood sugar balance and digestion), how pancreatitis develops, and which everyday food and lifestyle choices either stress or support this hard-working organ. She explains what an anti-inflammatory, real-food way of eating looks like for pancreas health, how to balance protein, carbs, and healthy fats, why alcohol and ultra-processed foods are so hard on the pancreas, and how things like hydration, smaller meals, and digestive enzymes can make a big difference in comfort and healing.
In this uplifting client story, Britni Vincent, RD, LD, talks with longtime Nutritional Weight & Wellness client Shawna about her son’s autism diagnosis and the incredible progress he made in just one year. Shawna shares the early signs she noticed, the emotional impact of hearing “on the spectrum,” and how their family combined therapies with a gluten- and dairy-free, real-food approach and targeted supplements to support his brain and gut. You’ll hear how sensory overload, anxiety, and social challenges began to ease, how she advocated for school support, and why she wants other parents to know there is always something you can do to help your child feel and function better.  
In this episode of Ask a Nutritionist, our registered dietitian, Leah Kleinschrodt, explains how to read a nutrition label the smart way.

If you’ve ever felt confused in the grocery aisle, this episode gives you simple, practical tools to shop with confidence.
A new high blood pressure diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when the only advice you hear is “cut the salt” or “lose weight.” In this episode, Kara Carper and Brandy Buro break down what to change first to start lowering blood pressure naturally.
Is dairy bad for your heart… or actually helpful? In this Ask a Nutritionist episode, dietitian Amy Crum clears up the confusion around dairy and heart health. Learn which dairy foods support heart health and which ones don’t, why full-fat fermented dairy can be a better choice than fat-free options, and how sugar and refined carbs play a much bigger role in cholesterol and triglycerides than butter ever did. Plus, butter vs. margarine, what to look for on labels, and how to include dairy in a heart-healthy, real-food way.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can show up as winter blues, low energy, low motivation, brain fog, and stronger sugar cravings. In this episode, dietitians Melanie Beasley and Brittni Vincent explain why SAD happens and what actually helps. You’ll get simple, natural solutions; they also cover why sleep, caffeine, and alcohol can make symptoms worse in winter.
In this Ask a Nutritionist episode, dietitian Alyssa answers a common question: Can you take too many vitamins or supplements? The short answer is yes, and she explains how vitamin toxicity can happen when people take mega-doses or stack multiple supplements with overlapping nutrients. You’ll learn which vitamins deserve the most caution, signs of taking too much, and why iron is one of the easiest nutrients to overdo. Alyssa also shares how to supplement safely, why food should come first, and when lab testing can help guide the right dose.
Sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline; it can quietly affect your heart, too. In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, dietitians Leah Kleinschrodt and Teresa Wagner connect the dots between sugar (and high-carb foods), blood sugar spikes, inflammation, triglycerides, and cholesterol patterns that raise cardiovascular risk. You’ll learn where “hidden” sugar shows up most often, which lab markers matter most, and simple real-food next steps so you can support heart health without extreme dieting.
Is yogurt really good for your gut…or is it secretly dessert in disguise?  In this episode, Brandy Buro MS, RD, LD shares how to choose the healthiest yogurt, what “live cultures” actually means, and other fermented foods that support gut health.
Most people don’t think about bone health until a DEXA scan (or a fracture) makes it feel urgent. In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, registered dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent share everyday habits and real-food strategies to slow bone loss and support stronger bones, especially in midlife and beyond.
Morning sickness can make eating feel overwhelming, especially during a time when your body needs extra nourishment. In this Ask a Nutritionist episode, registered dietitian Britni Vincent explains why morning sickness happens and how blood sugar, hormones, and metabolism all play a role. She shares practical, real-food strategies to help you feel better and stay nourished, even when your appetite is low or unpredictable.
Is your mouth giving you clues about your whole-body health? Leah Kleinschrodt, RD talks with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, integrative dentist and naturopath, about what your teeth and gums can reveal, why common “dental fixes” deserve a closer look, and how food and minerals fit into the bigger picture. Listener questions are included, and you’ll want to hear her take on fluoride.
Can fiber actually lower cholesterol? Yep. Dietitian Amy Crum breaks down why soluble fiber is the real MVP for LDL, how your gut plays a role, and easy food upgrades to increase fiber without blowing up your blood sugar. She also covers when supplements can be a helpful backup.
Thinking about GLP-1 meds, already on one, or just curious what the hype is about? Dietitians Britni Vincent and Brandy Buro explain what GLP-1 is, why nutrition support matters more (not less) while taking these medications, and how to protect your metabolism, muscle, and digestion along the way.
Tired of meat, but still want the benefits of protein? Dietitian Alyssa Krejci breaks down why protein matters, why animal protein is often the most efficient, and how to hit your needs with easier, more enjoyable options, including a simple “protein stacking” approach.
Protein is trending, but most people still aren’t eating enough of it, especially at breakfast. In this episode, registered dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent share the sneaky signs you’re low in protein and simple ways to start getting more real-food protein into your day.

The main factor provoking the disease is poor nutrition. This refers to the consumption of large quantities of semi-finished products, low-quality food, rich in fat and refined foods. Malnutrition also includes reduced fiber intake. It is the fiber in food that helps the proper movement of masses through the intestines.

Hi! I'm from Portugal, Europe. The main fat in our Mediterranean diet is olive oil. And a lot of studies talk about the advantages of olive oil. When you talked about good fats for memory, you mentioned coconut oil, but is coconut oil healthy, given that it is mostly saturated fat?

I really wanted to listen to this episode, but you both take FOREVER to get to the point that I found it to frustrating to listen. It's almost as if you're trying to eat up air time. Make your point quickly, THEN back it up with the filler.
