Uncle Marv's UnHealthy Podcast

Uncle Marv is back after a whirlwind of tech conferences and client moves, and he’s got a bone to pick with the most persistent health myths out there. In this episode, Marv takes on five big misconceptions that keep us from enjoying food and life—starting with the idea that you have to stop eating certain foods to lose weight. Spoiler: elimination diets are not the answer, and moderation is the real key. He also tackles the myth that organic foods are always healthier, referencing the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15” lists to show that sometimes, organic is just more expensive, not more nutritious.But wait—there’s more. Marv busts the myth that detoxes and cleanses are necessary for health, reminding us that our bodies are already expert detoxers. He challenges the notion that thin equals healthy, emphasizing that well-being is about so much more than body weight. And for anyone who’s ever felt guilty about late-night snacking, Marv sets the record straight: it’s what and how much you eat, not the time of day, that matters most. As a bonus, he touches on gluten-free diets, explaining why they’re only necessary for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. === Companies, Products, and Books MentionedYuka App: yuka.ioWebMD - 10 Health Myths Debunkd: https://rebrand.ly/zigstvyHarvard Health - Debunking Common Wellness Myths: https://rebrand.ly/p71sythNational Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases - Myths: https://rebrand.ly/imbv9gpLoyola Medicine - 8 Healthy Eating Myths Debunked: https://rebrand.ly/pg2fvrb=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATEItem Title: Ads LogoItem URL: https://elements.envato.com/ads-logo-8XLEVX5Author Username: FASSoundsLicensee: Marvin BeeRegistered Project Name: Unhealthy PodcastLicense Date: January 11th, 2025 === Show InformationWebsite: https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamunclemarvLInkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvinbee/
