We’re busting some of the biggest nutrition myths that keep circulating online and in wellness culture, and asking the question: why is there so much confusion when it comes to health?

Sara Widdowson is back for her second podcast residency on the Two Raw Sisters Podcast and today we unpack the marketing, fear, and diet culture behind some of the most common claims and what the science actually says.

We get into:
– Is coffee first thing in the morning actually bad for you?
– Do you really need protein powder to meet your protein needs?
– Are seed oils actually harmful?
– Is soy bad for hormone health?
– And are eggs really bad for cholesterol?

This is a grounded, no-nonsense conversation designed to bring you back to basics, help you feel more confident in your food choices, and take the stress out of eating well.

Food is getting more expensive but a lot of the time, we’re the ones unintentionally driving that cost up.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to actually eat well without overspending, starting with one simple shift: cooking with what’s in season. We’re in autumn here in New Zealand, and it’s one of the easiest times of year to bring your grocery bill down while still eating nourishing, satisfying food.

We talk through the ingredients we’re loving right now and how to turn them into multiple meals across the week without overthinking it.

We also share our favourite autumn recipes, simple ingredient swaps, and practical tips like batch cooking, freezing, and stretching one veg across several meals.

If your food shop has been feeling heavier lately, this episode will help you reset how you think about cooking, shopping, and what “eating well” actually needs to cost.
