Realfoodology

Welcome to the Realfoodology podcast with your host me, Courtney Swan! I’m an Integrative Nutritionist living in LA on a mission to change the way we eat in America.  Each week I’ll be talking to doctors, food experts and health professionals to bring you the best info so you can thrive. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of how powerful our food choices are. But it’s never too late to start.  You’d be so surprised how resilient our bodies are when we start taking care of them.  Trust me, I know it’s overwhelming.  Thats why I’m here.  I’m going to break it down with you, make it more digestible and easier to navigate.  Let’s get back to real food!

    Monsanto, Birth Control, + The Poisoning of The American Public | MAHA Senate Roundtable

    229: In this special episode, I’m sharing something a little different—my speech from a historic roundtable discussion I had with the U.S. Senate last September. Organized by Senator Ron Johnson and Calley Means, the event brought together incredible voices like Jordan Peterson, Vani Hari (The Food Babe), Max Lugavere, and Jillian Michaels, all talking about the state of American health and nutrition. In today’s episode, you’ll hear my speech, along with Max Lugavere, Vani Hari, Jillian Michaels, Marty Makary, Alex Clark, Jason Karp & Casey Means. We dive into everything from the dangers of food additives to the influence of corporate interests on our health. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this conversation, and I hope you find it as inspiring as I did!

    Politicization of Health + Is Ozempic for Weight Loss? | Jillian Michaels

Jillian opens up about her lifelong journey as a Democrat in California, sharing her personal experiences and insights into the unsettling political shifts she has observed. As we exchange stories, I recount my own evolution from a Republican upbringing in Texas to embracing progressive causes, only to feel a sense of disillusionment with recent political developments. Together, we navigate our political dissonance, emphasizing respect, empathy, and the quest for clarity amidst a polarized world.


    The episode also delves into the pressing concerns about corporate influence and media manipulation. We confront contentious topics such as the use of drugs like Ozempic for weight loss, the obesity narrative, and the urgent need for regenerative farming. Through personal reflection and insightful discussion, we underscore the importance of remaining informed and open-minded, encouraging listeners to engage critically with the narratives that shape our lives.
