Happy New Year! Steff and Katherine the wonderful world of Internet fad diets: keto, paleo, carnivore, frugivore, Bulletproof Diet, Ana Boot Camp, Ray Peatism, Raw Egg Nationalism, and Whole30.
Correction: At some point, Katherine incorrectly states Susun Weed was pro-raw veganism! Susun Weed merely debated raw vegans. Stuff gets fuzzy that far back.

i’d be interested in a follow up exploring the nourishing traditions/traditional foods/hormone support movement about women that’s going on right now
Great conversation. There's a spectrum of truth that these diets fall on. I do think that there's something true about the raw egg nationalism ideology -- becoming skeptical of the food processing that goes on is important to a degree. But taking it to the extreme won't really work for everyone. These fitness and wellness hawks rarely touch on how different bodies react to extreme diets. Even basic comparisons like the effects of eating meat only on women vs men. Intermittent fasting is another one... There's a bunch of research that shows that IF has mostly positive effects for men, and mostly negative for women. Men report boosts in energy, women only get the "I am starving" effect.
