What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I would just like to say something about Liam, I have been watching Liam’s channel (The Plant Slant), I have been self conscious about my body for years and I tried many “Healthy Lifestyles” and it was awful and sometimes I felt like just quitting being healthy, but when I started watching Liam, I immediately realized that I do not need to punish myself for having a large body. He has helped me through more than just my body, he helped me through my mental struggles, and after I got really sick, watching Liam helped me stay positive. So I would like to say thank you Liam Layton, thanks for staying positive and I wish you a wonderful life with your daughter and wife (BTW, pls check out The Black Forager)

Bean_Lover_69 · Jun 2026

In my top recommendation when people ask me what I’m listening to. My coworker and I started a weight loss journey together and my favorite thing to say is “it’s okay in moderation”. Obviously I got that from you guys. Very entertaining and informative. Makes you question everything you’re seeing online. Always looking forward to the next episode.

Helped me try and repair my relationship with food. It’s a long road but they have a great chemistry and are real people… also funny.

Alura_84 · Apr 2025

Rob and Liam’s content is helping me heal my relationship with food. They are science based and fear free. This is by far my favorite health podcast.

Peaches Feathertoes · Mar 2025

I’m disappointed with how many recent episodes have barely touched moderate eating and fitness. In a world telling us not to eat processed foods, how do we handle the need for convenient options like premade salads, hummus, breads (even ones with added sugar or ingredients). And how to be smart about costs of those items with inflation crippling. Tips for cooking for one with no waste? Calorie aware but not obsessive? Gels for running or a waste of precious $$$?

Me—curious · Jun 2026

I was hoping to enjoy this because I like Liam’s instagram for the most part (80/20 ;-) but by episode two they not only admitted they weren’t adequately trained or qualified in nutrition but managed to elevate themselves as being better for it while denigrating people that ARE educated formally. As formally trained dietitians are predominantly female I found this pretty sexist as well. Maybe it gets better but what a way to start it off in truly bad take and taste.
