In Part 2 of this powerful interview, legendary protein researcher Dr. Donald Layman returns to the Optimal Protein Podcast to unpack some of the most misunderstood concepts in nutrition today—and to reveal potential groundbreaking changes to the U.S. dietary guidelines around protein, red meat, saturated fat, and carbohydrates. Dr. Layman breaks down what the science actually says about protein dosing, timing, oxidation, and muscle uptake—and who truly needs to worry about protein distribution. Vanessa and Dr. Layman also discuss:

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the recently released 2025 report on the best overall diets. She critiques the methodology behind nutritional research, emphasizing issues such as recall bias and the reliability of food frequency questionnaires. Leyla then provides an in-depth review of the top ten diets listed in the report: Mediterranean, DASH, Flexitarian, MIND, Mayo Clinic, TLC, Menopause, Dr. Andrew Weil's Anti-inflammatory, Volumetrics, and Cleveland Clinic diets. She argues that many of these diets are misrepresented, particularly regarding their fat content and sustainability claims. Leyla also offers her insights on what constitutes a truly effective and sustainable diet.

This week on the Optimal Protein Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined once again by Dr. Don Layman, one of the world's foremost experts in protein metabolism and amino acid science. In this first part of our two-part conversation, we take a deep dive into the true definition of protein quality, the flaws of current scoring systems, and the metabolic significance of leucine as a primary trigger for muscle protein synthesis. Dr. Layman also introduces the EAA-9 protein quality model, a new way of evaluating protein sources that takes into account the body's exact essential amino acid requirements—moving beyond methods like PDCAAS. Get 20% off on the Tone LUX Crystal Red Light Therapy Mask Ketogenicgirl.com with the code VANESSA We also discuss: Why protein quality should be defined by amino acid content, not nitrogen How leucine “shows up in nature” in exact ratios that muscle recognizes The four key signals muscle responds to: energy, leucine, insulin, and IGF-1 What activates and suppresses mTOR, and why AMPK shuts down MPS in low energy states How protein turnover drives up to 20% of your resting metabolic rate The concept of metabolic prioritization and what happens when your diet lacks adequate EAAs Why the term “protein requirement” is misleading—and why we actually have amino acid requirements Dr. Layman's response to the 100 g of protein study on protein distribution  A preview of what's really happening during fat loss, and how muscle preservation strategies can make or break long-term success This episode is a masterclass in muscle metabolism, protein science, and the tools you need to optimize your nutrition—especially for fat loss and body recomposition.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Prof. Stefan Lorkowski, Leiter der Abteilung Biochemie und Physiologie der Ernährung an der Universität Jena und Mitautor der neuen Empfehlungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE).Im März 2024 hat die DGE ihre Empfehlungen grundlegend überarbeitet – und damit eine breite und teils hitzige Debatte ausgelöst.Mein Ziel mit diesem Gespräch war es, einen Raum für eine offene, ehrliche und sachlich geführte Diskussion zu schaffen – ohne ideologische Scheuklappen oder vorgefertigte Meinungen. Ich möchte dazu beitragen, dass sich jede und jeder auf Basis fundierter Informationen ein eigenes Urteil über die neuen Empfehlungen bilden kann.In dieser Folge erfährst du:

The Protein Paradigm: Redefining Dietary Guidelines with Dr. Nina Teicholz, a PhD nutritionist, founder of the Nutrition Coalition, and author of "The Big Fat Surprise". The discussion focuses on controversies around dietary guidelines, particularly the misrepresentation of low-fat diets and the critical role of protein in optimal health. Dr. Teicholz addresses the flaws in the US Dietary Guidelines, highlights the impact of institutionalized groupthink on nutrition science, and argues for the reassessment of protein recommendations and the demonization of saturated fats. She also examines the challenges and influence of food industry conflicts on public health policies and shares insights on the potential for meaningful reform under the current administration.

In the “Double Take,” Helena and Theodore have Trump whiplash on the threat of mass deportations in the food system. In “Forks and Knives,” the discussion turns to the historic cuts to food assistance for low-income Americans that are playing out as the “One, Big Beautiful Bill” makes its way through Congress. And for “Good Vibes,” the federal Dietary Guidelines may drop recommendations for how much Americans should drink. Glass clinking sound or MAHA mistake?

Cholesterol has had a long, complicated reputation. For years, we were told to avoid eggs, shrimp, and other high-cholesterol foods. However, research has significantly altered our understanding of dietary cholesterol. In Episode 194 of the Real World Nutrition Podcast, I unpack the science behind cholesterol: what it is, why your body needs it, and how dietary cholesterol differs from the cholesterol measured in your blood.   We'll cover which foods contain cholesterol, how saturated and trans fats influence blood cholesterol levels more than the cholesterol in food, and why eggs might not be the “bad guys” after all. I also explain why cholesterol is still listed on Nutrition Facts panels, even though it's no longer a key part of the Dietary Guidelines.   You'll leave this episode with a clear understanding of why avoiding cholesterol-rich foods may no longer be necessary, and who, if anyone, still needs to keep an eye on it. As always, we cut through the confusion and focus on what the evidence says. Prior episodes referenced: Episode 47: Is Coconut Oil a Healthy Fat?

A recent US Food and Drug Administration decision updates the rule for "healthy" claims for seafood, allowing seafood products that meet the new FDA criteria to voluntarily make "healthy" claims on their packaging and other marketing materials. Under the final rule, the FDA notes that seafood without added ingredients except for water automatically qualifies for use of the “healthy” claim due to its nutritional attributes and role in healthy diets as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.In this interview, Anna Benevente, director of regulatory affairs for Registrar Corp, discusses the impact this change will have on the seafood industry, including:FDA's new "healthy" claim regulation shifts focus from individual nutrients to overall dietary patterns, benefiting seafood marketersSeafood (including high-fat fish like salmon) now automatically qualifies for the "healthy" claim if single-ingredient or water-packed.

The U.S. dietary guidelines are considered the "gold standard" of nutrition recommendations. But they are failing us. Americans are unhealthier (and more obese) than ever before. Nina Teicholz, the author of "The Big Fat Surprise", explains why they are faulty and based on poor science.   She goes over how the guidelines were chosen, its ties to the American Heart Association, Proctor & Gamble and Crisco. She explains why the emphasis on grains (even refined grains) and low-fat choices have led to sickness. And why saturated fat and sodium consumption are currently "capped" but shouldn't be. Finally, she shares her vision for how the guidelines could be reformed, based on sound science, for improved health outcomes for all Americans.   Visit Nina's websites: ninateicholz.com and nutritioncoalition.us Follow the Wise Traditions podcast on the app of your choice!

In essence, nutrition science continues to shape national policy despite being built on weak, inconsistent, and sometimes fundamentally flawed evidence.They discuss a recent paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which found the systematic reviews used to support the guidelines to be of “critically low quality”. Nina breaks down why this matters, how key types of research have been excluded, and why the process lacks transparency and rigour. They explore how industry influence, institutional bias, and intellectual legacy all contribute to a status quo that continues to recommend reductions in red meat and saturated fat—despite the absence of robust evidence to support these claims.Nina also explains how these guidelines, which legally shape everything from school lunches to military rations, may be doing more harm than good when it comes to public health—particularly in the face of rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.If you've ever wondered why nutrition policy seems out of sync with both emerging science and common sense—or what it would take to fix it—this is an episode not to miss.Nina Teicholz Ph.D. is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise. She's been a pioneer in challenging the conventional wisdom on saturated fats, vegetable (seed) oils, the health halo around the Mediterranean diet, and the reliability of the U.S. national dietary guidelines. Her work has been favorably reviewed by top medical journals, including the Lancet, and her own writing has been published in academic journals such as the BMJ, Nutrients and a journal of the National Academy of Sciences as well as media outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic and Economist. Teicholz has also appeared on most major TV networks and many podcasts, from NPR to Joe Rogan. She is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities, and in 2024, she received a Ph.D. in nutrition focused on evidence-based nutrition policy. For years, she ran a non-profit called the Nutrition Coalition aimed at updating the US dietary guidelines with the current science. Her work can now be found in a column on Substack called “Unsettled Science.”Teicholz has no commercial ties and has never received support from any industry for her work.

Every five years, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines are updated based on the latest scientific evidence to help shape national nutrition recommendations. A panel of experts was assembled to review the existing research, evaluate new findings, and provide recommendations that will inform the next edition of the guidelines. One of the committee members involved in this process is Professor Christopher Gardner, a leading nutrition scientist at Stanford University, who joins us to share key insights from the committee's work. In this discussion, Professor Gardner provides an inside look into how the committee evaluated dietary patterns, the role of plant-based proteins, and the ongoing debate surrounding ultra-processed foods. He explains the rigorous process of reviewing scientific literature, the challenges in translating research into policy, and the critical role of health equity in shaping the recommendations. By exploring these themes, this episode aims to provide clarity on the scientific foundation behind the upcoming dietary guidelines. Whether you're a nutrition professional, researcher, or someone interested in how dietary recommendations are formed, this conversation sheds light on the key discussions shaping the future of nutrition policy.

We're told that our healthcare system exists to keep us healthy, but what if it was never designed for that? In this episode, we trace the roots of modern medicine and nutrition to uncover how profit-driven interests shaped the way we approach health today — and why so many people are chronically sick despite significant medical advancements. It all started in the early 20th century, when John D. Rockefeller used his influence to centralize medical education, steering it away from nutrition and holistic care and toward a pharmaceutical-first approach. His reforms, built on the Flexner Report, ensured that doctors would be trained to treat symptoms with drugs rather than address root causes.  Later, Ancel Keys' flawed research further distorted our understanding of health, vilifying saturated fats while paving the way for highly processed, industrial seed oils — ingredients that still dominate today's ultra-processed food landscape. The food industry took this even further in the 1980s when major tobacco companies pivoted to food production, using their expertise in addiction to engineer products designed for overconsumption. The result? The population got hooked on cheap, nutrient-devoid foods while chronic disease skyrocketed.  Meanwhile, the medical system thrives on managing disease, not preventing it — because prevention doesn't generate revenue. So where does that leave us? It means that reclaiming our health requires stepping outside the system. That starts with rejecting ultra-processed foods, prioritizing whole, nutrient-dense meals, and challenging the mainstream narratives about diet and disease. It also means seeking out medical professionals who focus on prevention and lifestyle interventions rather than prescriptions alone. The system isn't going to change itself. But by making informed choices, we can take control of our own health.

On this episode we talk to Max Justice from Setas Mushrooms — the innovator behind MyCoffin, biodegradable coffins made of mycelium and industrial hemp. Justice is the co-founder and CEO of Setas Eternal Living, a company that offers people a sustainable end-of life solution — with aspirations to disrupt the death industry with affordable and sustainable options. For Justice, Setas Eternal Living was logical next step in his fungus journey. He and his wife started Setas Mushrooms on their farm in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, after discovering the healing power of mushrooms during his wife's illness. Fungus changed their lives forever. In this episode we'll hear about the process of making coffins from mycelium and hemp and how this product compares to traditional burial vessels. Compared to traditional caskets that will take centuries to breakdown, Justice's coffin will biodegrade in just a few years, making it a good option for green burial.   Learn More: Setas Eternal Living https://www.setaseternalliving.com/ Setas Mushrooms https://setasmushrooms.com/ Green Burial Council https://www.greenburialcouncil.org/ Watch the WGAL News Video https://www.wgal.com/article/south-central-pennsylvania-farm-grows-mushroom-coffins/63364893 News Nuggets Shapiro Administration Announces Recipients of the Nation's First Agricultural Innovation Grant https://www.pa.gov/governor/newsroom/2025-press-releases/shapiro-administration-announces-recipients-of-the-nation-s-firs.html The public is encouraged to submit written comments to HHS and USDA related to the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee to inform the development of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030. https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/public-comment-departments Unfazed and confused, Sutter County extends ban on industrial hemp despite grower push-back= https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article299400029.html Thanks to our sponsors: IND HEMP Americhanvre Kings Agriseeds Forever Green Music Courtesy of Tin Bird Shadow

Cameron Jacobs, USA Rice's vice president of domestic promotion, makes his 2025 debut on The Rice Stuff to discuss rice's role in U.S. nutrition policy, the process of updating the government's dietary guidelines every five years, and how USA Rice advocates for rice to be recognized and recommended as an important part of a balanced and healthy diet. And what does "healthy" mean, by the way? What exactly IS a grain? Tune in to find out. With special guest: Cameron Jacobs, USA Rice VP of Domestic Promotion Hosted by: Michael Klein and Lesley Dixon

Around 100 countries have official dietary guidelines, and more are on their way. But who is following them? Ruth Alexander asks how realistic healthy-eating advice is as she explores how official recommendations are developed, what they're trying to achieve, and the obstacles standing in our way. We hear from Fatima Hachem, Senior Nutrition Officer at the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation, about how her team offers support to countries designing dietary guidelines.Chiza Kunwenda, senior lecturer in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Zambia, tells us how he and a team of others drew up the latest dietary guidelines for Zambia and other countries in Africa.In Argentina, as well as advice, the government has issued black octagonal warning labels on foods high in salt sugar, saturated fats and calories. Are people taking notice? And can people around the world afford to eat according to guidelines? Dr Anna Herforth co-directed the Food prices for Nutrition project at Tufts University in the United States, tells us what she found. We also hear from shoppers at a community food outlet in the North West of England, about how cost is barrier to healthy eating.(Image: a plate of food showing suggested dietary guidelines.

The U.S. government has been making nutrition recommendations for well over 100 years. More recently, however, people have started questioning these guidelines, with concerns around the influences of big food and big agriculture. Social media is ablaze with cries of corruption and deception. Health professionals are being called into question, as are the real motives behind these health recommendations. So join us, two Registered Dietitians, in the last episode of this three part series, where we answer the question: Can we actually trust The Dietary Guidelines for Americans?

In the Season 3 premiere of The Business of Wellness, host Jaclyn London, MS, RD, dives deep into the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, spearheaded by RFK Jr., nominee for Secretary of Health. With her unique expertise as a registered dietitian, consultant, and author, Jaclyn unpacks the promises, pitfalls, and scientific inaccuracies in MAHA's approach to food, nutrition, and public health. Jaclyn brings her professional insight into the broader systemic issues behind America's rising rates of chronic disease and why focusing on food additives, seed oils, and GMO crops distracts from meaningful public health solutions. She also explores how media narratives, wellness influencers, and Washington's incentive structure fuel confusion about food and health. In this episode, Jaclyn breaks down: The MAHA movement's stated goals, including transparency in food production, promoting regenerative agriculture, and reforming the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The science (or lack thereof) behind claims about artificial food dyes, glyphosate, seed oils, and ultra-processed foods. Why removing artificial ingredients from products won't solve America's public health crisis. Free-market, bipartisan approaches to solving America's health crisis  Listen to Learn: What MAHA's critiques of Big Food and Big Pharma get right—and wrong—about food and health. Why food additives, seed oils, and GMO crops are NOT the root causes of America's chronic disease crisis (and where to look instead...) How media, Big Tech, Big Wellness, and policy incentives create confusion about food and nutrition. Evidence-based, free-market solutions to improve health that could gain bipartisan support. The critical role of dietitians and practitioners in connecting science, policy, and consumer behavior.
