Welcome to the Realfoodology podcast with your host, me, Courtney Swan! I’m an Integrative Nutritionist living in LA on a mission to change the way we eat in America. Each week I’ll be talking to doctors, food experts and health professionals to bring you the best info so you can thrive. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of how powerful our food choices are. But it’s never too late to start. You’d be so surprised how resilient our bodies are when we start taking care of them. Trust me, I know it’s overwhelming. That's why I’m here. I’m going to break it down with you, make it more digestible and easier to navigate. Let’s get back to real food!

Customer Reviews
Keep Fighting the Good Fight Courtney!
The information Courtney shares in her podcast and on her Instagram is relevant and important. Kudos to her for going against the grain and fighting for what is right!
Sugar Addiction
I love all of the content on this podcast, but the Sugar Addiction episode hit home because I am trying to educate my teen daughter in this topic. She is very much into studying drug and alcohol addiction therapy so this will draw a good correlation for her. Thank you!
New favorite podcast!
This has easily turned into one of my new favorite podcasts! So much incredible information and content and I love the guests she has on her show.
