Okay. How many times has this happened to you? It's New Year's and you make yourself

a promise. This year is the year. I am going to finally get fit. You do some research,

you listen to podcasts, you buy books, you're eating right, you're exercising. Okay, you're

seeing some progress and then it stops working. Rinse, repeat, every single year. Until now,

I'm Yuna Jada. And I'm Dr. Eddie Phillips, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School.

And this is food we need to talk, a science-based and humor-laced podcast about all things health

and fitness. If you're tired of the constant back and forth, today is keto, tomorrow it's

paleo, today it's kombucha, tomorrow it's protein shakes, then this is the podcast for you.

Every single episode, we bring you experts in the fields of nutrition, exercise, neurobiology

and more to find out what on earth is going on and what if anything actually works.

Food is not a poison, it's a pleasure. Food is a socialization. Food is culture. Food

is healthy. Food is life. And we have to enjoy our food.

If you like rollerblading, playing tennis, any type of activity, try to do that. And I

just say, what do you like to do? Do that.

Self-compassion is actually more effective motivator than self-criticism.

With a whole lot of science and a seemingly endless supply of Eddie's dad jokes, we're

spilling the tea on skinny teas. We're taking the dye out of diet. We are exercising.

You know what tea are we spilling? Oh my god, Eddie. Food, we need to talk is back

and even better in my obviously unbiased opinion. Tune in April 4th wherever you get your

podcast. Produced by PRX.
