Confused about what is truly healthy eating? You’re not alone. A recent survey found that about 8 in 10 Americans have found conflicting information about what foods to eat and what to avoid, and more than half said this conflicting info has them second-guessing the choices they make. That’s where a registered dietitian comes in. And Maya Feller is a registered dietitian nutritionist who really believes that eating for enjoyment and optimizing your health doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. You can have both!

In addition to running her own practice, Maya is a national nutrition expert on Good Morning America, cohost of the Slate podcast Well, Now, and author of two cookbooks. She’s also a much-needed voice of reason in this oft-unhinged space.

During this conversation, we answered SO many questions, including:

• Why would someone need to see a dietitian? What does a dietitian help you with?
• Does insurance cover seeing a dietitian?
• How do you reduce anxiety through diet?
• Why don't restrictive diets work?
• How does blood sugar affect anxiety?
• What is the purpose of glucose monitoring, and who should try it?
• Do whole grains spike blood sugar less than refined grains?
• Do I need to worry about antinutrients?
• Do soaking beans remove lectins?
• What is nutrient density? Which foods are most nutrient-dense?
• Are eggs really that bad for your cholesterol?
• How do you find the best types of magnesium to take?
• Does food combining really work? What foods work best together?
• What foods help are best for acid reflux and chronic fatigue?
• What foods are good to eat if you have high cholesterol?
• What foods help balance hormones?
• What are some trusted supplement brands?
