0:00.0	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.
0:08.5	How's it going, everyone?
0:09.4	Welcome back to another episode of the Nutrition Science Podcast.
0:12.8	I'm your host, Dr. Adrian Chavez, and today we're going to be discussing eight nutrition and health trends that I do recommend in 2026.
0:22.9	So last podcast episode, we covered seven nutrition and health trends that I do recommend in 2026. So last podcast episode, we covered seven nutrition and health trends that I'd recommend avoiding going into the new year. And I wanted to
0:27.4	cover those topics because I get so many questions about those topics. And I want to clear up
0:33.0	the confusion around the questions that I get on my social media and through email here. But what I realize is when I'm
0:40.1	answering questions, I'm often coming from a negative place because there's so much misleading
0:45.6	information out there. There's so many things being promoted with misleading claims. And so when I get

1:24.2	fiber. And I like that it's being branded in a way that sounds more exciting for people.
1:30.0	I like that it's causing people to discuss eating more fiber more consistently and make that more of a
1:36.4	priority. If you listen to this podcast, you know that I'm a big fan of ensuring that you're eating
1:41.4	enough fiber. Now, there's a little bit of nuance to consuming more fiber.
1:46.1	Individuals with digestive issues, if you just start eating a lot more fiber and you're
1:50.4	not particular about the sources of fiber that you're taking in, that can lead to bloating,
