Welcome to the nutrition science podcast, where we help you cut through the noise and make informed

science-based decisions about nutrition and your health.

Welcome back to the show. Today, we are going to be discussing the top seven nutrients that many

Americans are not getting enough of through their diet. We'll talk about what those nutrients are,

why they're important, and also some of the top food sources of each of those nutrients. But before

we get started, I know some of you may have noticed that we didn't publish a podcast episode last

week. That is my fault. I was in the middle of a move. I was moving from outside the city of

Austin where I was living previously to closer into the city of Austin. And I was pretty busy with that.

And the podcast fell down on the list of priorities for me. And I wasn't able to stay consistent from

week to week. Do not expect that to happen again in the future. That's only happened a couple times in the past.

But if you are wanting to listen to more podcast episodes, I would highly recommend going

into the past episodes and trying to search for episodes that are particularly relevant

to your interest.

So I know some of you picked up listening maybe a couple of months ago.

I've been publishing the podcast for only about 18 months now, but there's plenty of episodes

to go back to and listen to that may be specific to your interest that may benefit you.

I know sometimes people reach out to me asking me for episodes.

If you just go back and kind of start from the

beginning and look at some of the past episodes that seem to be relevant to you it will be very

helpful and that's a good way to get some episodes if you want to listen to more so let's go ahead

and get into the content for today we're going to talk about the top seven nutrients that many Americans are not getting enough of.

I'm going to start with number seven.
