  • What Makes a Habit Stick?

    What Makes a Habit Stick?
    Mar 24 2026
    Why are habits so hard to build — and even harder to break? And do they really have to be perfect to improve your health? On this episode of On Nutrition, Mayo Clinic dietitian Tara Schmidt sits down with health coach Jenn Trepeck to explore the science of habits and how small, realistic changes can lead to lasting results. From decision fatigue to mindset shifts, they break down why so many health goals stall — and what actually helps them stick. They also discuss the role of health coaching, how habits evolve over time, and why flexibility — not perfection — may be the key to long-term success. Whether you’re trying to eat better, move more or reset your routine, this episode offers practical strategies to help you build habits that work in real life. ⁠Sign up⁠ to receive Mayo Clinic Press emails.

    Liver health: You Don’t Need a Detox
    Mar 10 2026
    About 4.5 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed with some form of liver disease, and some will go on to need a liver transplant. What interventions are available to help avoid that procedure? And if someone does receive a transplant, how can their diet support their new liver and help keep it as healthy as possible? On this episode of On Nutrition, transplant clinical dietitian Heather Bamlet explains how she supports transplant patients and shares strategies to help prevent — and in some cases, even reverse — certain liver diseases.

  • Unlocking the Food Matrix

    Unlocking the Food Matrix
    Feb 25 2026
    Food is more than the sum of its parts. Nutrients in supplements act differently than the same nutrients in whole foods. The way those nutrients are packaged, bonded and processed all factor into what’s known as a food matrix. On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with Sally Cummins, a registered dietitian and senior vice president of nutrition affairs at the National Dairy Council. She shares the science behind the dairy food matrix and explains how you can see the food matrix at work in everyday foods. Sign up to receive Mayo Clinic Press emails.
