    This week, we’re tackling the ultimate college conundrum: how to eat healthy without selling a kidney or surviving on peanut butter toast.

    From grocery store hacks and freezer-friendly produce to mastering the mysterious art of the microwave, we cover it all. Learn how to turn your mini-fridge into a nutrition powerhouse, conquer the dining hall without hitting just pizza and fries, and power up your day with protein-packed meals that actually keep you full. Plus, we dive deep into the high-stakes world of apples—Cosmic Crisps, Pink Ladies, and why Honeycrisps are secretly plotting against your wallet.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to survive college eating like an adult (without losing your soul or your bank account), this episode is your cheat sheet.

  • Off the Menu: Outtakes Edition

    Welcome back to The Sader Digest, the health and wellness podcast where we try to sound smart… and often fail spectacularly. In this “Outtakes Edition,” we’re serving up a buffet of our finest bloopers, caffeine-fueled tangents, and questionable life choices—because why let all our worst moments go to waste?

    You’ll hear Brad spiral into a historical deep dive on the Boston Tea Party (because of course), Alex bravely battle the myth of “superfoods,” and both of us try to do math on air with results that will haunt every nutritionist. There’s talk of acai bowls, dragon fruit slander, caffeine addiction confessions, and even a dramatic protein portion showdown.

    So grab a (reasonable) cup of coffee or tea—your kidneys will thank you—and enjoy the chaos, science, and silliness that didn’t make it to the main episodes. This is the Sader Digest: Outtakes Edition. Because sometimes wellness means laughing at yourself. Kenny Loggins anyone?

    Ever wondered how to live to 100 without moving to a sun-soaked island in Greece? In this laugh-filled finale of our Blue Zone series, Alex and Brad try to bring the secrets of long life to—wait for it—Worcester. From flipping the food pyramid under an olive tree to replacing your PSL with a nap and a handful of beans, this episode proves longevity might be possible… even in a Worcester winter.

    We cover the essentials:
    Coffee (yes), PSLs (maybe not)
    95% plants, 5%
    Walking uphill both ways at Holy Cross = built-in cardio
    How to turn the Hill into the first Purple Zone

    Listen in for wisdom, laughter, and possibly too many bean jokes.
