About this episode

Dr. Ted Naiman is the brain behind 'The PE Diet,' and on this episode, he unravels the mysteries of protein satiety and hedonic eating. Along with Dr. Stephanie, they dive into nutrition strategies for consuming protein, carbs, and fats, specially tailored for perimenopausal women.

His takes on artificial sweeteners will make you rethink your food label literacy skills, with a myth-busting focus on substances like aspartame. Expect to leave with actionable insights for better health and a few chuckles along the way. Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments below!
