Summary
In this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony dive into the most talked-about and trending nutrition topics, giving each one a verdict: overrated, underrated, or properly rated—based on the science. From supplements to diet hacks and everything in between, we're breaking down what’s worth your time (and money) and what’s just noise.
Heads up: This is part one of our "overrated or underrated" series. The next episode will tackle training and workout topics, so if you’ve got burning questions about fitness myths or workout trends, drop your suggestions in the comments (Spotify listeners, we’re looking at you 👀).
