A Regenerative Life

How to Spot Bad Nutrition Science Online

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Matthew Nagra to discuss why nutrition science is far less confusing than social media makes it appear. We examine how diet ideology, selective evidence, and exaggerated health claims distort public understanding, including within the plant-based community. Matthew explains what the strongest research consistently supports and shares a practical approach to change: focus on the foundations, apply the same standards to every claim, and help people improve one realistic choice at a time. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Matthew Nagra is a naturopathic doctor and evidence-based nutrition educator who combines clinical practice with public education across social media. His own shift toward plant-based eating began as a teenager after changes in his diet improved how he felt and helped him manage his weight. Today, he helps patients and online audiences understand nutrition research without exaggeration or ideological bias. His commitment to scientific integrity, compassionate communication, and realistic dietary change supports A Regenerative Life's mission to make better health both credible and attainable. He is devoted to bringing you the most up-to-date and evidence-based nutrition information in a landscape rife with misinformation. - - - - - Social Handles: Website: https://drmatthewnagra.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.matthewnagra/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.matthewnagra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.matthewnagra/ - - - - - The Plantrician Project Website: https://plantricianproject.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantricianproject/ https://www.instagram.com/drscottstollofficial/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/plantricianproject/ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

Metabolic Freedom: The Truth About Insulin, Carbs, and Energy

In this episode, I sit down with Cyrus Khambatta to rethink what we've been taught about diabetes, insulin, and carbohydrates. We explore why insulin sensitivity may be more important than carbohydrate restriction, how mitochondria, movement, and whole-food plant nutrition support metabolic health, and what it truly means to experience metabolic freedom. Together, we discuss how understanding the body's design can replace fear with confidence and help us build lasting health. - - - - - About the Guest: Cyrus Khambatta, PhD is the New York Times bestselling co-author of Mastering Diabetes, and has helped more than 10,000 people reverse the underlying cause of insulin resistance.
