Hosted a migraine quack
As someone who overcame over a decade of disabling chronic migraines through actual medicine, I know how hard it can be to find good evidence-based treatments and prevention from the mainstream medical system. But that doesn’t mean the quackery and related testing this doc recommends is the solution! She was shoveling one woo woo idea after another with no indication to listeners how far off the scientific evidence base she’s flying. I feel genuinely bad for anyone suffering with headaches like I did being led down the guest’s quackery rabbit holes. My migraines can be influenced by what I eat, so I have no issue with RDs undertaking this topic, but they should choose a credible source. Functional medicine started with one controversial doc out of Cleveland Clinic and still has absolutely no medical organization of physicians behind it. There’s no, for example, organization analogous to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) or American Academy of Neurology. And it’s not because mainstream medicine doesn’t look to prevention as well as treatment. The ACLM, for example, focuses heavily on prevention. I’d like to see some of the ideas promoted by this podcast generally integrated into medical practice, so it’s unfortunate the hosts decided to give this quack a platform. Suffering people are vulnerable to misinformation, especially when coming from a podcast where they generally feel heard and supported. It can be hard for laypeople to know what’s credible advice, but I expect more from the hosts of this podcast.

More reviews of Real Talk with Dana
I have really enjoyed her perspective on body image and stopping the body hatred. I wish I had known all of this 15 years ago when I first got on the yo yo dieting bandwagon. I am so on board with her approach of moderation when it comes to food and eating as well as exercise.
