NLP649 - The Truth About Diets, Research, and Nutrition Misinformation with Dr. Joey Munoz

In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Joey Munoz (@dr.joeymunoz) for a no-BS conversation about one of the biggest problems in the health and fitness space—misinformation.

We dive into:

The villainization of certain foods and single ingredients—why so many people fear specific foods without understanding the full picture.
How research studies actually work and why most people misinterpret them (spoiler: just because you read a study headline doesn't mean you know the science).
Why most diets fail—hint: it has a lot to do with extreme, polarizing opinions in the nutrition space.
Practical, evidence-based guidelines to help you succeed without falling into the latest diet trend rabbit hole.
The importance of nuance in fitness and nutrition—because nothing is ever black and white.

Dr. Joey is an expert in nutrition, metabolism, and evidence-based fitness. His approach cuts through the noise and helps people focus on what truly matters for long-term success.

This episode is packed with insights to help you develop a sustainable, balanced approach to nutrition—without getting caught up in misinformation.
