What does that ingredient on your label actually do in your body, and why is TikTok so mad about it?
On Ingredients, we pick one nutrient or ingredient at a time and unpack it from every angle: biochemistry, physiology, public health, and the social media discourse that shapes how we feel about food.
Hosted by Susana, a registered dietitian, and MJ, a public health person, this podcast is where evidence meets everyday eating, and nutrition trends get a much-needed reality check.

Calories are one of the most prominently placed items on the nutrition facts label, but how much weight should we place on them? Susana and MJ unpack what a calorie actually measures, how metabolism really works, and why “calories in, calories out” sparks so many online debates. We separate what’s physiologically true from what gets lost in viral nutrition discourse.
