Don walks through the historical context behind early guidelines, including where things may have gone off track, particularly around the treatment of fat, cholesterol, and protein-rich foods.From there, the discussion moves into the science. Don outlines the limitations of relying heavily on observational nutrition research and contrasts this with findings from controlled trials, particularly in relation to protein requirements and metabolic health. He explains why he recommended a shift to the new protein targets to better support muscle, satiety, and overall health.Dr. Donald Layman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Layman has been a leader in research about protein, nutrition for athletic performance, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular health. Dr. Layman has over 100 peer-reviewed publications. He has received numerous awards for his research from the American Society for Nutrition and the National Institutes for Health and for his nutrition teaching. Dr. Layman currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior and on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, and Nutrition Research and Practice.

What would nutrition guidelines designed specifically for women over 40 look like? I'm breaking down the latest dietary guidelines to show you why following generalized advice during a non-generic phase of life will only lead to generic results. My mission is to help you move from simply preventing deficiencies to optimizing your metabolism by prioritizing a muscle-first approach and high-quality whole foods. It is time we stop playing the percentage game and start focusing on the specific nutritional needs women over 40 require to age powerfully. What you'll learn: (02:01) Why the minimum protein recommendation is not the same as the optimal amount for women who want to thrive. (03:39) How dairy can be a powerful source of leucine and protein, but only if your body responds well to it. (05:09) Why JJ believes fat recommendations should focus more on food quality than abstract percentages. (07:05) How ultra-processed foods and rancid fats can affect obesity, metabolic health, and inflammation. (07:55) Why managing added sugar by the numbers can keep you stuck thinking about sugar. (08:38) How alcohol can slow fat oxidation, disrupt sleep, and interfere with recovery. (11:21) Why menopause changes protein, fiber, carbohydrate, and muscle-support needs after 40. (13:36) How to shift from generic food rules to results-driven nutrition that supports metabolism and aging powerfully. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines: What They Got Right and Where They Fall Short   The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans influence far more than individual food choices. They shape nutrition policy, school meals, and public health messaging.   In this episode, the third in an ongoing series, the Guidelines are examined from both perspectives. What they got right includes clearer messaging about added sugars, a stronger emphasis on dietary patterns, fiber, and life-stage nutrition. And where they fall short, including confusion around saturated fat, mixed messaging on dietary fats, and the shift toward more rigid language around sugars and additives.   This episode provides context, clarity, and practical takeaways to help interpret the Guidelines without oversimplifying the science.   Read More: The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines: What They Got Right   Read More: Where the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines Fall Short   Read the whole series, starting with part 1: A Brief History of the Dietary Guidelines (1980–2025): What Has Stayed the Same?   Listen to prior episodes:  A Brief History of the Dietary Guidelines (1980–2025): What Has Stayed the Same?   What Changed in the Dietary Guidelines and Why It Matters   Learn more or contact me: ShelleyRael.com Schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory call today to discover how I can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

How do the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations compare, and why do they differ?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down where these two major nutrition guidelines align, where they diverge, and what that means for your health. At the center of the conversation is a key question: should health be defined by a single lab marker, or by a broader view of metabolic function?In this video, you'll learn:Why LDL cholesterol is only one piece of cardiovascular riskWhy the two guidelines differ on saturated fat, red meat, and full-fat dairyThe role of markers like fasting insulin, triglycerides, HDL, and body compositionHow different dietary patterns influence metabolic health in different waysWhy recommendations around saturated fat and full-fat dairy remain controversialHow historical beliefs and evolving evidence shape nutrition guidelinesThis discussion also highlights a critical point: nutrition science is complex, and population-wide recommendations don't always translate clearly to individual health.While both organizations emphasize whole foods and reducing processed sugars and refined grains, the DGA reflects a growing recognition that there is more than one way to eat well, while the AHA continues to take a more prescriptive stance on saturated fat and animal-based foods.

Dr. Dan and Phil talk about the new American Heart Association dietary guidelines. Some new changes are very familiar to our WFPB way of eating.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses news from Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s “Take Back Your Health” tour, highlighting hospital commitments to nutrition-driven care, including connecting Florida farms directly to hospital food systems. She reports that CMS issued a quality and safety special alert directing hospitals to align meals with the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, emphasizing whole nutrient-dense foods and adequate protein while reducing ultra-processed foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, refined carbohydrates, and added sugars, and reinforcing Medicare participation requirements such as meeting individual nutrition needs, dietitian oversight, current therapeutic diet manuals, and integrating nutrition into quality improvement. At Nicklaus Children's Hospital, Kennedy and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz met with healthcare leaders; the hospital signed a pledge to partner with Florida producers to improve food quality, remove procurement barriers, and expand medically tailored meals and training. Muedin praises regenerative agriculture and local supply chains and contrasts these efforts with past high-carbohydrate hospital diets.

Send us Fan MailEvery five years, a massive set of rules, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), quietly changes the way 300 million people are "supposed" to eat. But who actually writes these rules? Is it pure science, or is it just the latest dietary trend?In this episode, we sit down with April Fogelman to go behind the scenes of the federal nutrition recommendations that were recently updated. We're digging into the evolution of American nutrition, from the nostalgia of the pyramid to today's "upside-down" recommendations. Dr. April Fogelman is a Dietician, Lactation Consultant, Associate Professor of Nutrition, and Extension Specialist in our department with interests ranging from infant nutrition to sports nutrition.  In addition to her work at NC State, she is an avid marathon runner.Got a questions for us?  Email us at wolfingdownfoodscience@gmail.comPlease take a minute to help others find our podcast by leaving a rating and comment on your podcasting app!

What Changed in the Dietary Guidelines and Why It Matters   Nutrition advice can feel like it keeps changing. One decade focuses on fat, another on sugar, and cholesterol recommendations seem to shift over time.   In this episode, part of an ongoing series on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, this discussion looks at what has changed since 1980 and why those changes are often misunderstood.   Topics include the shift from total fat to fat quality, evolving guidance on cholesterol, changes in protein recommendations, and the growing focus on dietary patterns and ultra-processed foods.   The episode also explores how nutrition research has evolved and why updated guidance reflects refinement rather than contradiction.   Read More: What Changed Over Time in the Dietary Guidelines and What That Tells Us About Nutrition Science   Learn more or contact me: ShelleyRael.com Schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory call today to discover how I can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

Craving junk food when you're stressed isn't a lack of discipline — it's biology. In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down what ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods actually do inside your body — from your metabolism to your hormones, your brain, and your stress response. But this isn't about guilt or shame. It's about understanding what you're up against — especially as a parent trying to make better choices in a world designed to make that difficult. You'll learn: What ultra-processed foods really are How they impact your endocrine system and metabolism Why stress makes you crave sugar and processed foods Why shame around food doesn't work (and never will) Simple, realistic ways to improve your family's eating habits This episode is about taking back control — without perfection, and without guilt.   Mechanism-Anchored References Monteiro, Carlos A., et al. “Ultra-Processed Foods: What They Are and How to Identify Them.” Public Health Nutrition, vol. 22, no. 5, 2019, pp. 936–941.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health, is described as the “godfather of functional medicine.” He details the origins of functional medicine as a systems-biology, root-cause approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, and supplements alongside conventional allopathic care, especially for chronic disease. Bland contrasts medication “number needed to treat” examples (statins and TNF-alpha blockers) with personalized lifestyle interventions, noting adherence challenges. He discusses GLP-1 weight-loss drugs as a major pharmacologic advance but raises concerns about long-term effects, discontinuation rates, side effects, and inadequate nutrition if food intake drops. Bland describes research on bitter compounds and gut “taste” receptors influencing GLP-1 and related hormones, links to Blue Zone diets, and introduces Big Bold Health's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and minimally processed, sustainably sourced fish oil products, the Omega-3 index, and targeted formulations with lutein/astaxanthin, plus ongoing clinical trials on immune aging and gene expression.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health.

Only nine scientists were asked to advise on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Dr. Tom Brenna was one of them. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on how dietary guidelines are actually made, why the process has never been the same twice, and what it was like to watch a decades-old saturated fat recommendation get carried forward despite a lack of evidence supporting it at the level of total mortality. This is the dietary guidelines conversation the internet has been missing: straight from someone who was actually in the room.Want ad-free episodes?

In this episode of BCI Cattle Chat, Abby Heidari, the director of nutrition for the Kansas Beef Council, discusses the rise of GLP-1 weight-loss medications and their effects on appetite, weight loss, and muscle maintenance. She explains that while these drugs help reduce food intake, maintaining adequate protein and physical activity is essential to prevent muscle loss and support long-term metabolic health. The conversation highlights beef as a nutrient-dense, high-quality protein source that can support muscle preservation and overall nutrition during weight loss.

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes shares her take on the 2025–2030 USDA Dietary Guidelines released in 2026, explaining how the USDA updates them every five years and how they affect downstream food policy. She says the new inverted food pyramid and “eat real food” messaging feel more like marketing than a true 180, though she appreciates that the guidelines are shortened to 10 pages. From a sports dietetics lens, she critiques the low grain/carbohydrate guidance as inadequate for athletes, recommends past episodes on carbs, sugar, and during-training fuel, and notes athletes may need some refined carbs to avoid excessive fiber and GI issues. She likes the increased protein target (1.2–1.6 g/kg), the more permissive tone on whole fats despite a still-low saturated fat cap, and the stronger “limit alcohol” message, and discusses potential implications for SNAP, school lunches, and ultra-processed foods.

Eight out of nine people writing the U.S. dietary guidelines had ties to Big Meat and Big Dairy. Hmm. So what does that mean for the nutrition advice we're all supposed to trust? I asked a doctor to break it down. And why is cheese so hard to quit?Spoiler alert: it might not be your willpower. There's actual biology behind it. You know how much I love talking to doctors who are plant-based, and today's guest is bringing the receipts. Dr. John Lewis is a plant-powered physician, former associate professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and a researcher who has published more than 180 scientific papers. His Alzheimer's research has shown significant improvements in cognitive function using plant-derived nutrients that support the brain. In this conversation, we connect the dots between diet, brain health, Big Food influence, and the chronic diseases affecting millions of Americans. If you've ever wondered whether Alzheimer's is inevitable… or whether what's on your plate could actually help protect your brain… this episode will change the way you think about food. • The real reason cheese is so addictive (and why quitting it feels impossible for many people)• The massive fiber crisis in America and why it's wrecking gut health• Why the carnivore, keto, and high-protein craze may be setting people up for long-term health problems• The simple dietary shifts that can dramatically improve digestion and inflammation• What actually happens inside your body during fasting and why it may activate powerful cellular repair• The plant foods that may help support memory and brain health Some of what you'll hear may sound shocking. But once you understand the science, it changes everything you thought you knew about nutrition. And once you hear it… you can't unhear it.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines are supposed to reflect the best available nutrition science… but what happens when the final recommendations don't match the evidence?In this episode, I'm joined by Akash Patel to break down how the Dietary Guidelines are created, where they diverged from the scientific report, and what this means for nutrition, public health, and your everyday food choices.Akash Patel is an MD/MBA student at the University of Miami focused on nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and public health, with a focus on improving nutrition education in healthcare.What we cover:12:50 – How the Dietary Guidelines are created (DGAC explained)17:43 – Why most Americans don't follow the guidelines23:27 – Where the final guidelines diverge from the science34:24 – Issues with the new guidelines (visuals, messaging, contradictions)58:31 – Key differences: plant protein, processed foods, health equity1:19:50 – How U.S. guidelines compare to other countries1:30:25 – Plant vs animal protein and long-term health outcomes1:45:51 – Practical ways to eat more plant proteinConnect with Akash:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/akashpatelKey resources mentioned:USA Dietary GuidelinesUSA Dietary Guidelines Scientific Advisory Committee Executive SummaryList of 56 Recommendations from DGAC to HHSMisinformation about the dietary guidelines (transparency/conflicts) PMID: 38522617U.S. population largely does not follow dietary recommendations PMID: 20702750Greater adherence to HEI and health outcomes PMID: 31529069U.S. food supply not aligned with recommendations PMID: 25441965NHS and HPFS studies (fruits/vegetables, physical activity, plant vs animal protein) PMID: 33641343, 41574252, 27479196

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

Every five years, the Departments of Agriculture and of Health and Human Services jointly issue guidelines on what we should eat. The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) have been controversial. [Here is a link: https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov] Among other things, the administration decided to flip the food pyramid upside-down in illustrating its recommendations. Why did […]

What was the United States government's first move, when it decided that what Americans ate was a matter of national concern? Why, from the depths of the Civil War to the height of the culture wars, has Washington repeatedly redrawn the nation's plate - sometimes to fight hunger, sometimes to win wars, sometimes to battle heart disease and obesity? And how did fruits and vegetables move from quiet supporting players to nutritional protagonists, caught between science, industry, and politics?Join John and Patrick as they trace the extraordinary history of U.S. dietary guidelines - from the founding of the United States Department of Agriculture in 1862, through wartime rationing and the “Basic Seven,” to the rise and fall of the Food Pyramid and the fierce debates of today. As public health, agricultural economics, and political ideology collide at the dinner table, one question lingers: when the government tells you what to eat, who (and what) is really being served?----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.
