Love this tool so much - and the guide you wrote to go with it (which I received from pre-ordering your awesome book!). I love everything you shared about it in this video too - especially encouraging us to not be rigid with it, and to check in to make sure it's not becoming rules-oriented and leaning toward diet culture. For me, I found it to be super helpful to just see how I was doing and where I needed to add or increase diversity. I'm choosing not to use it weekly as it quickly became rigid/rules-oriented for me (still navigating my ED recovery). But I can see the benefit of even once a month for me right now!
I just wanted to let you know that i have really been appreciating all of your online content and your podcast appearances. i particularly appreciate your willingness to be transparent about changing your mind and your opinions based on scientific research. I have a question: i have always heard that there are more nutrients in the cooking liquid from, say, cooking greens than in the greens themselves after they have been cooked. can you speak to this? one more😅: is there any truth to the idea that eating too many raw cruciferous veggies can be bad for thyroid health? is this mtigated by cooking the greens?
Adding these questions to my To Do list for future videos, but quick answer: nope, still waaaay more nutrients in the greens than the cooking liquid, and it's totally a myth that cruciferous veggies are bad for thryoid health (raw or cooked, doesn't matter!). :)
