Cholesterol: The Good, The Bad, & How to Lower Yours Naturally
Cholesterol in your food doesn't automatically mean high cholesterol in your blood.
Amanda, Joyce (https://www.blackironnutrition.com/joyce-murphy), and Jess Gordon (https://www.blackironnutrition.com/jess-gordon) break down what cholesterol actually does in your body, the difference between LDL and HDL, and where triglycerides fit in. They also cover how a lipid panel works and why one result can't tell the whole story. They get into what can push LDL up that has nothing to do with how well you eat, including genetics, age, and menopause, and then go through the dietary levers that do move it. That includes the saturated fat swaps, soluble fiber, and which foods to add instead of just cutting things out. They finish with the lifestyle pieces beyond food and a reminder that medication can be the right call.
Plus: what's really going on with eggs.

So You Want To Manage Stress Without Using Food
Stress eating is normal, but when the snack is gone, the stress is still there.
Ryann, Joyce (https://www.blackironnutrition.com/joyce-murphy), and Nic (https://www.blackironnutrition.com/nic-leland) talk about managing stress without leaning on food. They start with the difference between good stress and the kind that wears you down, then get into why your brain heads for the pantry when things are rough. They also share what they actually use with clients: a dopamine menu, a go-to meal that's always ready, and what to do after you stress eat.
Plus: why one stressful eating moment doesn't cancel the rest of your day.

How to Read a Nutrition Label Like a Pro
The front of the package is there to sell you the food. The nutrition label is where you find out what you're actually buying.
Amanda and Jess Gordon (https://www.blackironnutrition.com/jess-gordon) break down how to read a nutrition label, what matters, and what's just marketing, so you can stop getting fooled by food packaging. They start with serving size, then go through calories and macros, what's in the carbohydrate section (fiber, sugar, and the net carb confusion), which vitamins and minerals are worth a glance, and what % Daily Value is actually based on. Amanda also shares what she learned from years working in food manufacturing about how much room labels have to be inaccurate.
They also cover ingredient lists, why scary-sounding names are often just vitamins, and which front-of-package claims are only there to raise the price.
Plus: why you should be label literate, not label obsessed.
