#10 Nutrition and Women's+ Health

Nutrition advice is everywhere, but what does a healthy diet actually look like, especially for women? In this episode of The Vulvalution, we’re joined by registered dietitian Nilou Deilami to unpack the fundamentals of nutrition and separate fact from fiction. We explore the role of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in supporting overall health, energy levels, and well-being. We also discuss key nutrients that are particularly important for women, including iron and vitamin D, and why deficiencies are so common. From trendy diets to supplement marketing, Nilou helps us demystify common nutrition myths and provides practical, evidence-based guidance on building a balanced and sustainable approach to eating. 🎧 Whether you're trying to improve your nutrition, navigate conflicting advice online, or simply understand what your body needs, this episode is for you.
