In a world that is constantly telling us different things about food, plant-based, vegan,

keto diet, eat meat, don't eat meat, lose weight, don't lose weight, eat what you want,

don't eat what you want.

We are so confused about what health even means. What foods are we supposed to eat? Today on the

Eat to Live podcast, we are going to discuss why you should count nutrients and not calories for a healthy,

happy you. I'm your host, Jenna Furman, and I'm here with my dad, Dr. Furman, as we talk about

nutrient IQ and the Andy scoring system.

Let's count nutrients. Dr. Dad, how's it going? Doing great. Just excited about all the fun I'm having.

Fun. What kind of fun stuff are you doing? Tell us more. Are you kidding me? Time of your life?

Yeah, just always doing something exciting.

No, that's really true. When I think of your life, I think of you as always doing something

exciting. So tell us what that looked like for you this week. Well, I did ski, you know,

in Mammoth part of the week. I did ski two days in Mammoth and it was a one hour flight from here, just one hour. Oh, you actually flew. I flew right from Carl's bed. It was only 20 minutes away on the plane and you fly there this little small jet and it only costs 200 bucks to fly there. It's only an hour to fly. It's this great skiing. You mean, like middle of Switzerland,

like in the Alps. It's just an hour away. It's incredible. Do I even want to know how small the plane was? Like, how small are we talking here? It's a jet. It wasn't even an airplane. It wasn't even propeller. I think it sat about, you know, one seat on one side of the aisle and two seats on the other side of the aisle, probably you could seat about 30 people on the plane. Maybe it was half full, you know. Oh, so it's not that tiny. Okay. I've been on a plane smaller than that. Cool. The scenery was just incredible, looking out the plane. But now what I'm doing today is I'm rollerblading in the park with rain on a big long leash leash, so I can give her some exercise.

Because what happened today, well, I have to do that to try her out a little get her exercise. What happened this morning is she was playing with another dog, and she got her tooth caught in the other dog's collar, and she was crying. And I had to run over there and take the collars off because she couldn't get her face disconnected to the other dog. And then she was so shaken up. She was like, wouldn't leave my side and just stayed between my legs. So she didn't get much exercise today. Do you remember when that happened to rain when I was watching them play? Oh my gosh,

I didn't realize that happened again. Yeah, it happened one more time now. Oh, man. Well, that's two things

that I always love about you is you're always doing something outside, which you know being outside is my favorite, so that stuff we could always do together. And you always bring rain. So it's a win-win for me. And now that rain can climb mountains, I put that backpack on her, and I'm climbing mountains with rain, and she can climb up these really steep. that you think a dog couldn't do. But I hold on to her

backpack, but has a handle on it, or strapped around her waist, so I can go down really steep

elevation climbs, like rock climbing where you'd need all four hands. But I have like holding rain

and like helping her down so she feels confident that she can do it with me. I wish I got a video

of you doing that when we were hiking in

Arizona because it was so cool seeing you help rain, you know, our dog hike up these big,
