I support this podcast and Leanne so much that I went through the trouble of registering to leave a comment. As a dietitian myself I am always looking to grow my knowledge base. this podcast, from the very first episode I listened to has been a gift, such a collection of knowledge. The best thing about it is that I trust Leanne and I know her messages are evidence based. I shared a lot of the information with my patients the very same day! Thanks Leanne. You have a huge fan in me!
