81: Eliisa Tennant: Tracking Beyond Calories - Inside the Science of the World's Most Accurate Nutrition App

Most nutrition apps give you inconsistent data that might be sabotaging your health goals without you even knowing it. If you've ever been frustrated by duplicate food entries, inaccurate nutrition information, or apps that only track calories and macros while ignoring the micronutrients that truly impact your health, this episode will change how you approach nutrition tracking. In this episode on the BROADS podcast, I chat with Eliisa Tennant from Cronometer about why their science-backed approach to nutrition data is creating such a loyal following, especially among health professionals and people with specific health needs. We're tackling the biggest questions about nutrition tracking—like how Cronometer maintains such high accuracy standards, why tracking trends over time is more valuable than daily fluctuations, and how integration with wearables can reveal powerful insights about your body. Plus, we're exploring how this app is particularly valuable for women in perimenopause and menopause (something I've been recommending to my clients!), people managing chronic conditions, and anyone serious about optimizing their nutrition. Eliisa Tennant is the host of Discovering Nutrition, the podcast by Cronometer that dives deep into the science of nutrition, helping listeners understand how food impacts overall health. With a background as a certified personal trainer and a passion for evidence-based wellness, Eliisa is dedicated to making nutrition science accessible and practical for everyone. Through her work, she connects with top experts in the field, breaking down complex topics to empower individuals to make informed choices about their health.
