The Ellen Fisher Podcast

Show Notes

Few topics are more hotly debated than nutrition. With contradictory messaging abundant, it can be difficult to discern credible health advice and navigate which dietary patterns are optimal for our health and longevity.

Simon Hill, nutritionist and host of The Proof Podcast, cuts through the noise and breaks down today’s most popular diets and trends. Simon has a healthy obsession with nutritional science and uses reliable science-based information to form his dietary thesis philosophy. He focuses on nuanced, evidence-based research instead of biased black and white thinking.

While science is not perfect, we do have clear biomarkers for longevity and preventing our #1 killers, and this episode goes into how these trends stack up against those markers. With so many experts letting their biases get in the way to form nutritional recommendations, Simon is the nutrition resource we need right now.

In this episode we cover:

Popular diets: Paleo, Carnivore, Vegan, Keto, Plant Paradox, & Nourishing Traditions

What “ancestral diets” get right and wrong

Saturated fat vs. PUFAS

Popular Trends: Butter, Bone Broth, anti-nutrients, seed oils, etc

Eating to survive vs. eating for longevity

Why what’s “natural” isn’t necessarily what’s best for long term health

In this episode, I sit down with debt elimination expert and The Ramsey Show co-host Jade Warshaw to unpack a truth most people never hear: your money problem isn’t about your income — it’s about your emotions. Jade shares her own journey from financial stress and overwhelm to becoming debt-free, and the rock-bottom moment that forced her to confront the beliefs and behaviors driving her spending. We talk about why making more money rarely fixes what’s actually broken, the biggest lie keeping families financially stuck, and why so many high-income earners are still drowning in debt.
