Welcome back everyone for Season 5 of the Keri Report! We’ve got a lot to catch up on since the break. This episode I explore trends like drinking baking soda to enhance exercise performance and help acid reflux, colostrum supplements which have been coined “liquid gold”, and a summer cleanse where you drink almost only lemonade!   I’m starting this season with a bang and there’s much more to come!

I’ve said I’m done with this topic so many times…but I just keep coming back to it, even for the Season 4 finale! I feel like Ozempic has become the Kleenex of anti-obesity drugs - even though it’s far from the only one on the market (hello - Wegovy and Mounjaro!) Ubiquitousness aside, their huge popularity has me wondering…is healthy eating out the window now thanks to these so-called “miracle weight loss drugs”?? I’m joined by returning guest and registered dietitian bestie, Samantha Cassetty. We discuss our different opinions, as well as the kinds of drug categories exist under the affiliated GLP1 hormone spectrum, what you need to know about these medications, the fine line between weight loss treatments versus obesity prevention, and more.

Victoria Beckham is on blast thanks to her husband, David Beckham, sharing her eating habits on a recent podcast - so, I weigh in on HIS weighing in on her diet…and, of course, the diet itself (I am a dietitian, after all.) I also discuss the prebiotic soda Poppi and the value of a newly announced class-action lawsuit that alleges it’s not as healthy as they’ve led consumers to believe, as well as Yahoo’s advice on how to safely eat cicadas. I wish I was joking, but yes, cicadas can be on your dinner menu!   Resources: Is Poppi good for you?

As the temperatures are starting to rise, I know a lot of people have questions about how to safely exercise in the summer - what’s the best time to do it outside to stay cool, and what you need to know in order to stay properly hydrated in the heat? Well, we have the answers!   I’m joined again by exercise expert Amy Stephens (who you previously heard on Episode 54, Things You Should Know About Intermittent Fasting), a registered dietitian, certified specialist in sports nutrition, blogger, runner, and food coach. Amy has over 20 years experience working with athletes from amateur to Olympic-level - so, she really knows her stuff when it comes to all things exercise and nutrition. We talk about how much water you need to be drinking this summer, how your gut plays into hydration and exercise, the kinds of electrolytes you lose when you sweat, how much water weight you lose from working out, the advice from Amy’s on-call meteorologist about when in the day you should be working out to avoid peak heat, and - much to my chagrin - pickleball.
