Is everything we've been taught about nutrition actually true?
From calorie counting and high-protein diets to coffee, weight loss, and food labels, wellness advice has never been louder or more confusing.
In this episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, I sit down with Layla Al Naif, holistic nutritionist and wellness educator, to separate health trends from science-backed habits. We dive into the biggest nutrition myths, why many people struggle with energy, gut health, and weight loss despite "doing everything right," and the simple changes that can make a real difference.
If you've ever wondered whether you should drink coffee first thing in the morning, how much protein you actually need, or whether "low-fat" and "sugar-free" products are really healthier, this conversation is for you.
