Deep Nutrition with Cate Shanahan, MD

Confused by conflicting nutrition claims? Frustrated by the help you're not getting from the healthcare system? Overwhelmed trying to get healthy?

I can help.

I’m a board-certified Family Physician (MD) with 25+ years of clinical experience, author of five books, consultant to professional sports teams, and Professor of Nutrition and Metabolism at De Montfort University. I’m terrible at golf and telling jokes—but I do have one superpower: I make nutrition make sense.

Years ago, I realized modern medical science isn’t built on logic. That’s why a diet considered “heart-healthy” for adults is bad for kids, pregnant women, and the brain. It’s why we tell patients to avoid processed food, but recommend ultra-processed infant formula. It’s why we use statins to prevent heart attacks—even though they cause diabetes, the #1 cause of heart attacks.

Come for the logic, and stay for the improvements you'll get to your energy, confidence, gut health, brain health, and more!
