Nutrition Nugget: Three Decisions

Nutrition Nugget: Three Decisions

Author: Jenn Trepeck January 9, 2026 Duration: 13:55

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about three decisions that will determine the next decade of your life. It sounds dramatic, right? But what if the decisions you make about the people you're spending time with, the content you're consuming, and the things you're actively building (or not building) are quietly shaping your future in ways you haven't considered? Jenn shares surprising research about how behaviors can spread through social networks like a contagious disease. So should you be evaluating your friendships with the same scrutiny you'd use for a romantic partner? And when it comes to what you're learning and building, are you making conscious choices or just going through the motions? Is there actually science behind the idea that your income reflects the five people you spend the most time with, and if so, what else might be true? Jenn breaks down these three critical decision points and challenges you to get intentional about where you want to be in 2036. Like what you're hearing?
