Wellness Wednesday: How Gut-Friendly Foods and Supplements Shape Health
Over the last decade, gut health has moved from a niche topic in research labs to a central theme in everyday nutrition conversations. Yet despite the buzz, there’s still plenty of confusion about what prebiotics and probiotics are, how they work, and whether they truly live up to the promises linked to digestion, immunity, and overall health. As a dietitian would point out, the science is both exciting and nuanced, while evidence supports their role in shaping a healthier microbiome, not every claim is fully backed by human trials. To separate fact from hype, it’s important to examine what the research says, where the gaps remain, and how individuals can make informed choices tailored to their own needs.

Wellness Wednesday: Is Coca-Cola’s Sweetener Switch Really a Healthier Choice?
When Coca-Cola’s potential move back to cane sugar makes headlines, it’s often framed as a return to “real” ingredients and a nostalgic taste of the past. As a registered dietitian, I find that many clients interpret this shift as a health upgrade, believing cane sugar to be cleaner, more natural, and less harmful than high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The reality, however, is far more complex. To answer whether this sweetener swap is truly meaningful, we have to step beyond marketing language and dig into the science of how these sugars are metabolized, what role they play in chronic disease, and how much the distinction matters in the bigger picture of nutrition and public health.
