Stanford Scientist Breaks Down Health Trends
Monday, 23 February, 2026

In this bonus episode, we’re back with Dr. Rachele Pojednic for one of our favorite games: Overrated vs. Underrated — wellness edition. Rachele gives brutally honest takes on cold plunges, wearables like Oura and Whoop, continuous glucose monitors, greens powders, zone 2 training, and IV drips. You’ll hear what she thinks is genuinely useful, what’s wildly overhyped, and what the science still doesn’t know yet. (Yes, she straight-up says cold plunges are overrated and greens powders are a hard no.) If you love hot takes and you want to stop wasting money on wellness nonsense, you’re going to love this one.Sign up for our newsletter here!For weekly episodes, come join the Foodie Fam!Check out our book!Chat with us on IG @foodweneedtotalk!Be friends with Juna on Instagram and Tiktok!
