Podcasts about food as medicine

Diabetes care doesn't happen only in the clinic—it happens where people live, shop, and eat. This episode explores why food access, community support, and real-world resources matter just as much as medical care.We unpack how food insecurity and the digital divide affect diabetes management, where food-as-medicine programs can make a real difference, and how GLP-1 medications fit without replacing nutrition and behavior change. We also highlight one policy shift that could dramatically expand access to diabetes nutrition support.Guest Bio:Dr. Melanie Hingle is a nationally recognized nutrition scientist, registered dietitian, and Professor at the University of Arizona whose work on diet-sensitive disease integrates community-engaged research, digital health, and Food As Medicine interventions across the Southwest. Quote:“Fresh produce, high in fiber, high in nutrients, these are things that help people manage, not just the blood glucose a little bit better, but can displace some of the less healthy options”Question of the Day:How might you help advocate for better nutrition support or diabetes resources in your community?On This Episode You Will Learn:Why community-based nutrition is essential for effective diabetes careHow food insecurity and access gaps directly shape diabetes outcomesWhat programs like produce prescriptions and medically tailored meals get rightHow to integrate GLP-1s with nutrition counseling without losing the food-first focusWhich policy and reimbursement changes could most effectively reduce diabetes disparitiesConnect with Yumlish!Yumlish Website: YumlishYumlish on Instagram: @yumlish_Yumlish on Facebook: YumlishYumlish on Twitter: @yumlish_Yumlish on LinkedIn: YumlishConnect with Dr. Melanie Hingle!University of Arizona Website Profile: https://profiles.arizona.edu/person/hinglemEmail: hinglem@arizona.edu

Dr. Klaper opens by challenging the myth that chronic diseases are permanent, sharing real-world examples from his plant-based clinical work. #DiseaseReversal #PlantBasedHealing #ChronicIllness #HealthTalks

ANN ARBOR —News, advice and research about what we eat - and drink - and how it influences our health is inescapable.What we hear less about is exactly what's taking place inside the body when nutrition is considered bad or toxic, say ultraprocessed foods like our favorite packaged cookies, chips or frozen pizza, or good and healthy, those whole, methyl-donor-rich leafy veggies, beefs and eggs.If you want a deeper understanding, ask Dana Dolinoy. The answers are in epigenetics, her specialty.As a nutritional and environmental scientist and professor at the School of Public Health, she studies the changes that take place in response to nutrients. Her work digs deep down to the genes and DNA, at the epigenome, where the controls that turn genes on and off are located.Dolinoy is also director of the NIH-supported Michigan Life Stage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center and Michigan Medicine's Epigenomics Core, teams that advance research and understanding of the environmental causes of chronic diseases and conditions. She is also on the team that launched MI-CARES, the Michigan Cancer and Research on the Environment Study, which is recruiting 100,000 Michigan residents to find causes of and solutions to disease. More on the study.As Dolinoy discusses in this episode of Michigan Minds, epigenetics, "is actually a relatively new science. The term was first coined in the 1950s as a way to talk about the intersections of our genes in the environment."Michigan Minds is produced by Greta Guest and hosted by Michigan News staff. Jeremy Marble is the audio engineer and Hans Anderson provides social media animations. Listen to all episodes of the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Food isn't just fuel—it's information. In this episode, I sit down with a functional canine nutritionist to break down what “food as medicine” really means for dogs. We go beyond calories and “complete & balanced” to talk about gut function, inflammation, detox pathways, nutrient density, and how to build a bowl that supports the whole body—not just maintenance.You'll learn how functional nutrition looks at root cause, how to adjust diets based on symptoms (itch, stool changes, low energy, behavior shifts), and simple upgrades you can start using immediately. Practical, strategic, and grounded in physiology—not trends.Send a text

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by wellness culture, conflicting health advice, or the constant pressure to optimize their body. Maybe you've tried the supplements. Maybe you've followed the trends. Maybe you're doing everything “right” and still not feeling well. In this episode of Better Said Than Written, I share a Social Media Essay written by Dr. Pamela Buchanan, whose words cut through the noise and ask a simple but confronting question: what if the answer isn't more but less? At the center of this reflection is a reminder many of our grandmothers already understood: “Your body doesn't need a hack. It needs food.” We explore ancestral wisdom, modern burnout, and what it means to return to nourishment as care, especially while navigating midlife, perimenopause, and changing relationships with our bodies. If this episode stirred something for you about food, wellness, aging, or the lessons passed down through generations, take a moment to sit with it. You don't have to fix anything today.

Shut It Down to Stop ICE—And How to Not Die While Saving the Planet | The Karel Show At this point, there's only one real move left: shut it down. Democrats have the power to defund DHS and ICE, but it means being willing to shut down the government and force Republicans to finally blink. And here's the truth: the public is with them. For millions of Americans, the federal government has become more destructive than helpful — and surrendering again would be unforgivable. If it takes a shutdown to: • Withdraw ICE • End masked, unaccountable enforcement • Stop a President from operating what looks like a private army Then Democrats should hold the line and not give in. Do whatever it takes to stop the madness. But it's not all politics today. We also turn to something deeply personal and hopeful: How Not to Die, the new documentary exploring plant-based eating for human health and the planet. The film is airing on UnChainedTV, and we're joined by its founder and president Jane Velez-Mitchell to talk about why food choices matter — for longevity, climate, and our future. Because surviving this moment isn't just about politics — it's also about how we live, eat, and care for ourselves and each other. The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

There’s an old saying that goes “you are what you eat.” You might take that phrase with a grain of salt, but doctors agree: what we eat affects our blood pressure, blood sugar, cardiovascular health and more. It's knowledge that's generations old — food as a source of nourishment and healing. Essentially, food can act as medicine. From Ayurveda and Chinese herbs to modern-day food pharmacies — what we put on our plates impacts our health. But what can we do about it? Especially with inflation inching upward, seven-in-ten Americans say the cost of healthy food can be out of reach. We explore solutions.

This is our 2025 wrap episode. If 2025 had a soundtrack, it would be pressure: pressure on systems, on people, on animals, on land.Heat. Drought. Fire. Flood. Repeating across regions and headlines.But this year we also paid attention to what doesn't always make the news. We spent time in real conversations with farmers testing new practices in their fields, scientists challenging outdated models, investors reassessing what risk really means, and builders putting regenerative ideas into practice. Online and in person, we saw regeneration moving from theory into action.As 2025 comes to a close, the picture is still complex but clearer. The evidence is growing. Regeneration works, and the path forward is becoming more defined. Tune in to listen to what 2025 inside regenerative food and agriculture taught us.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Make America healthy again: is that helping the food-as-medicine movement or hurting it? And why is it so important to focus on quality food as medicine- which means nutrient density and real quality- rather than settling for simply “more fruit and vegetables”? Why would you, if you can, deny people with severe diabetes and lower incomes the best-quality food possible, especially when it has the biggest ripple effect?Today, a check-in conversation with Erin Martin, one of the leaders advancing the food as medicine movement in the US. It has been an exciting, interesting, and challenging few years — from speaking on the Hill in Washington, to passing a food as medicine act in her home state of Oklahoma (which has some of the worst health crises in the country), to scaling their program of prescribing produce to reverse type 2 diabetes to over 500 patients. But also: politics, making America and children healthy again, a global and local health crisis spiralling out of control, GLP-1 drugs breaking through, and somehow food and regenerative agriculture becoming polarising, a political minefield.So much to talk about: the first social impact bond, which isn't a bond but an outcome-based payment scheme,  is coming in early 2026 in Oklahoma. And super important: real data is showing massive savings when it comes to prescribing healthy vegetables, fruit, and cooking classes.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Send us a textFighting climate change can feel like a hopeless battle. Who can take on the giant fossil fuel companies when governments are not even bothering? How can countries act when every day temperatures rise, superstorms flood coastal areas, droughts devastate crops, and weather patterns bring insects and new diseases to areas previously spared?But there is something powerful and important that each and every resident of this planet can do to improve the health of the planet and at the same time improve their own health: eat better.A new report from the EAT-Lancet Commission lays out just how to do it and it details the benefits of what it calls the Planetary Health Diet. The current way people produce food contributes 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the warming of the Earth's atmosphere, the report notes – and that in turn is causing the increasing disruption of weather systems. Even if the entire world stopped using fossil fuels tomorrow, if people keep producing food the way they do now, global warming would continue.But a change in the way people eat can help stop it, and according to the commission, it would not be difficult or unpleasant.The mostly plant-based diet the experts recommend would not be a radical departure from how many people around the world eat now and it is based on what research shows would reduce rates of the biggest killers of people in most high-income countries and increasingly in low- and middle-income countries – heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It would mean eating mostly whole grains; fruits; vegetables; legumes, such as beans; tubers, such as sweet potatoes; and cutting out added fats and sugars. People could still eat some meat and dairy if they wanted to, but variety should replace ultra-processed foods.This change in diet would drive a change in agriculture that would slow the destruction of forests that in turn could reduce pollution from burning and return biodiversity that nurtures a healthier environment, the report says. And moving away from intensive livestock farming could help stop the conditions that have fueled the rise of antimicrobial resistance – so-called drug-resistant superbugs – that evolve when farmers feed antibiotics to their animals.In this episode, Dr. Patrick Webb, Professor of Food and Nutrition Economics, Policy, and Programs at Tufts University in Boston and an EAT-Lancet Commissioner, explains some of the ideas behind the report and why food is medicine, both for humanity and for the planet.

This presents an opportunity to finally move the needle on incorporating healthy food and nutrition into care delivery — but our traditional healthcare system is not set up to do this well, or at scale.
