25 - Simplifying Nutrition, Fighting Obesity & Eating Disorders w/ Dietician Dr. Allen Knehans pt.1

"Overweight and obesity is the single greatest threat to good health in our country"
-Dr. Allen Knehans

Food glorious food. There have been songs, plays, movies, and book dedicated to the topic of food and our culture has become centered around eating. With "junk food" available at almost every corner of the street, eating  a healthy and well balanced diet has become increasingly difficult. There is still hope though.

This week Nick and Cole sit down with Dietician Dr. Allen Knehans. Dr. Knehans was the Dean of the Allied Health Center at The University of Oklahoma for the past 4 years and was a professor of nutrition for almost 40 years,  teaching medical students and undergraduates how to simplify nutrition.

Throughout this episode Dr. Knehans dives into why obesity and being overweight are the single greatest threats to good health in the United States, simple adjustments we can make in our lives to combat obesity, the culture surrounding food in the US, simple ways to make eating healthy food exciting, the prominence of eating disorder and what we can do to prevent or stop them from happening.

Make sure to stay tuned for next week's episode with Dr. Knehans where he gives Nick and Cole all the information about diabetes, the hard truth about vitamins, and so much more!
