Why does nutrition and fitness feel more confusing now than ever before?

In this episode of Her Time, Her Health, Dr. Jila sits down with clinical nutritionist Dr. Joey Munoz to cut through the social media noise, debunk modern diet myths, and simplify what it actually takes to build a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.

Together, Dr. Jila and Dr. Joey unpack why restricting whole food groups backfires, why midlife women must prioritize strength training over restrictive dieting, and how focusing on muscle mass rather than the number on the scale protects long-term metabolic health. They also take an evidence-based, nuanced look at GLP-1 medications—exploring their benefits, their limitations, and why building foundational lifestyle habits remains essential for lasting results.

  • The Root of Nutrition Confusion: How social media algorithms reward extreme claims over nuanced, science-backed truth.

  • Common Diet Myths Debunked: Why cutting out whole food groups (like vegetables, dairy, or carbohydrates) can do more harm than good.

  • Body Composition vs. Weight Loss: Why preserving lean muscle mass is the key to protecting your metabolism—especially through perimenopause and post-menopause.

  • The Fundamentals of Sustainable Health: How to build a strong nutrition foundation using protein, fiber, meal structure, and the 80/20 rule.

  • A Balanced Take on GLP-1s: What weight loss medications can (and can’t) do, and how to avoid sacrificing muscle health.

  • Evidence-Backed Supplements: Which daily supplements are actually supported by research and which ones are just clever marketing.
