About the expert
Focus: Runs a 40-day alcohol-free challenge built around before-and-after measurement — inflammatory and liver markers, blood pressure, body composition, and close-up photographs of participants faces. Argues that the subjective changes people notice, particularly to stress and sleep, matter more than the lab results.
Molly Kimball is a registered dietitian nutritionist and board certified sports dietitian who directs Lifestyle Nutrition at Ochsner Health, the Louisiana health system. She founded Ochsner Eat Fit, a nonprofit initiative that works with more than 500 restaurants across the state, and created the Alcohol-Free for 40 challenge in 2015 after running it on herself first. She has been the nutrition expert for New Orleans ABC affiliate WGNO since 2009. This episode is an in-house production: she works for Ochsner, the challenge is run by her Ochsner team, and the two in-person guests are Ochsner clinicians who refer listeners to Ochsner s rehabilitation programme at the close. This does not invalidate the science her independent guest supplies, and the two are worth judging separately. It is still worth knowing that the challenge, the hosts, most of the guests and the treatment programme all belong to one organisation.
