Specialists kept testing and prescribing medications with no real answer as to why this is happening. Nothing changed until Jen decided to read the back of a seemingly healthy food product and noticed she was consuming ingredients she couldn't even pronounce. This sent her on a Wake UP! Mission to find foods made with real ingredients she could recognize and pronounce. After years of research, she found every clean swap making her menu expand instead of the usual restriction and her health took a complete turn for the better. She started coaching family and friends – all of which saw better bloodwork results, physical and mental changes and word of mouth spread creating Jen to be a food coach. In 2019, Jen launched Wake Up and Read The Labels, a wellness company dedicated to helping consumers understand what's actually inside of their food and revolutionize their grocery shopping. But it didn't stop there - Jen launched The Label Letter, a weekly digital newsletter which includes anti- inflammatory recipes, clean food product swaps, dining out tips plus non- toxic essentials that are made with real ingredients embodying a true anti- inflammatory way of life that can help people feel their best. Wake Up also has other digital products to help you find clean food swaps - product recommendation sheet, membership app, online course and cookbook.

Send me a text about the episode!Ever wonder why that "high protein" bar doesn't seem to satisfy your hunger? Or why your expensive collagen supplement hasn't transformed you into the muscle-building machine you expected? The answer lies in the murky world of nutrition labels—where what you see isn't always what you get.The nutrition space has certainly improved over recent years, with more companies prioritizing organic ingredients and removing harmful chemicals. But as we explore in this eye-opening episode, clever marketing tactics and regulatory loopholes allow many products to make claims that range from misleading to downright deceptive.We dive deep into three major nutrition label traps: collagen supplements that advertise impressive protein content while showing 0% daily value (yes, you read that correctly), the confusing world of "net carbs" that lacks scientific consensus, and the frustratingly arbitrary use of "high protein" labels on products containing minimal amounts. Along the way, we uncover dangerous practices surrounding unlisted caffeine content and excessive vitamin fortification that could potentially harm unsuspecting consumers.What makes this conversation so important is that these deceptive practices directly impact our ability to make informed health choices. When a collagen product prominently displays "19g protein" but buries the fact that it's an incomplete protein your muscles can't use, how are we supposed to meet our nutritional goals? When products can claim to be "high protein" with just 8-10 grams while nutrition experts recommend 20-30 grams per meal, who's looking out for the consumer?Ready to become a more informed shopper who can see through marketing hype? Listen now to arm yourself with the knowledge you need to navigate nutrition labels with confidence. Your body (and wallet) will thank you.✅ Like the podcast? Leave a review!
Episode 2616 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino give you a lesson in Reading Food Labels 101, trickery in marketing and labeling, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/reading-food-labels-101-episode-2616 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Reading Food Labels 101 Anna loves her Owala water bottle. (2:00) If you are interested, it is available on Amazon and through Vinnie's link: https://amzn.to/3DebbSz OWALLA 32 OZ FREE SIP. The “healthy at any size” movement is being debunked. Morbid obesity is not healthy, and people who are struggling with their weight and health should know they have value; and that's why Vinnie and Anna want to help. (10:00) Vinnie understands why people want to take GLP-1, but he doesn't think it's a good idea because of its side effects. He also doesn't want people to believe that's the only way they can lose weight. People can lose a great amount of weight by going NSNG®, or low carb, and not be messing with negative side effects. (13:00) Right below the nutritional panel (NFP) is the ingredients list. (25:30) The “facts” listed on the “nutritional facts panel” are not necessarily facts, since they can be manipulated. (27:30) They are allowed a margin of error, but it's a wide one. “Net carbs” is another misrepresentation and trickery. (34:30) Watch Vinnie's documentary “Dirty Keto” to get more details. The ingredients list shows items in the order of volume; the most volume is listed first. The front of food packages can claim anything for marketing purposes. (42:00) Stick to one ingredient foods, like whole, natural foods, that are NSNG®, and you will never have to worry about it. Always read the label on packaged foods! (49:00) Anna reads the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) for nutritional panels for a food manufacturer to be able to claim “no carb.” (52:45) There is a margin of error that allows a company to claim no or low carb, but it actually *does* have carbs. Anna will be reporting from the upcoming Food Show! More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

Show Notes: Are you paying extra for foods labeled "non-GMO" without knowing what it actually means? In this episode of Wake Up and Read the Labels, Jen Smiley exposes the seven real GMO crops and how food companies use misleading marketing to make their products seem healthier than they are. From non-GMO salt (which doesn't even exist!) to deceptive claims on bread, juice, and cereal, Jen reveals the food industry's tricks and how to truly avoid GMOs for better health.Plus, learn why autoimmune diseases and inflammation are skyrocketing, and how GMOs may be playing a role. If you're tired of being misled at the grocery store, this episode is a must-listen! Key Takeaways:There are only seven GMO crops: Corn, soybean, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa, cotton, and potatoes—plus some papaya, pink pineapple, and summer squash.Non-GMO labels are often misleading: There's no such thing as non-GMO salt, wheat, oats, dairy, or oranges, but companies use this label to charge more.GMOs contribute to inflammation and autoimmune diseases: Many processed foods made from GMO corn, soy, and sugar beets can damage gut health and trigger immune responses.The government subsidizes unhealthy ingredients: Grains, seed oils, sugar, and dairy products are mass-produced because they're cheap, not because they're healthy.How to actually avoid GMOs: Buy organic, shop the perimeter of the store, and check ingredient lists—not just marketing claims.Use the Read the Labels app: Scan foods at the grocery store to instantly see if they contain sneaky inflammatory ingredients.

In this episode of The Business of Wellness with Jaclyn London, RD, Jaclyn takes a deep dive into statements made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his senate confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health, and discusses the urgent need for reform in America's nutrition policy and the lack of meaningful solutions to combat the chronic disease epidemic driven by U.S. food and healthcare systems. She highlights the missed opportunities exposed during RFK Jr.'s hearings on Capitol Hill, and why sweeping federal regulations and RFK Jr.'s proposed strategies for improving American health ultimately miss the mark. Then, Jaclyn outlines five actionable policies to improve public health, including integrating cooking education in schools, reforming the Farm Bill to increase access to fresh veggies and fruit, incentivizing food service and restaurants to reduce added sugar, saturated fat and sodium in their menu offerings, tightening marketing regulations for products targeting kids & parents, and the most meaningful step in Making America Healthy Again and reversing the chronic disease epidemic : Getting nutrition counseling by a Registered Dietitian covered by insurance. Jaclyn also discusses the importance of transparency in the food industsry, how and why she believes that free market strategies and deregulatory policies can work by shifting incentive structures and focusing on strategic inititaives. She breaks down why bipartisan support is possible, and why these changes are essential for making healthier eating habits accessible to all Americans.

There have been several warnings that information on packaged food labels can be misleading. For example, food advertised as sugar-free may be loaded with fats, refined cereals and even hidden sugars. In July, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, approved a proposal to display nutritional information, such as total sugar, salt and saturated fat content, in bold letters on packaged food labels. However, experts feel this may not be enough to make consumers aware of the contents. Shashi Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Akshayakalpa Organic, spoke to All Indians Matter.

12/08/24The Healthy Matters PodcastS04_E04 - Decoding Food LabelsOur diets are a major contributor to our overall health, so of course it's important to know what's in the food we eat. And what better way would there be to find out what's in our food than to read its label? But let's face it, oftentimes food labels can be confusing, and sometimes even a little misleading.

She chairs the Department of Weight Management at Hennepin Healthcare and she'll help us get our heads around the contents of a food label, the real meanings behind buzzwords like "natural", "fresh" and "organic", and the role macronutrients play in our diets.

However, experts feel this may not be enough to make consumers aware of the contents. Shashi Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Akshayakalpa Organic, spoke to All Indians Matter.

“We are not in our right mind when we let our hunger and food cravings get the best of us. Hunger and food cravings can be so strong that we toss aside self-control and common sense. And unless we overcome them, they may cause us to make irrational decisions. We need to relearn how to eat to live, not live to eat.” Sugar is one of the most addictive and dangerous substances we consume. Excess sugar intake has been linked to a myriad of health issues, from obesity and type 2 diabetes to heart disease and liver damage. Overcoming sugar cravings can be a challenging but crucial step towards better overall health and wellbeing.In this episode, Ann dives into the alarming impact of sugar on our bodies, practical strategies to kick the sugar habit for good, the connection between sugar and heart disease, the role of sleep and stress management, and much more.

In this episode, I want to highlight some of the tactics the food industry uses to influence your buying decisions.The #1 goal that food companies have is to get you to buy their products. And in all honesty, a lot of those companies don't give 2 s***'s about your health.At the end of the day.. I really just want you to be an informed consumer. Not a consumer that buys things because you think it's better for you because the label persuaded you to do so.Let's talk about some of the things you can look out for when buying packaged foods + how to individualize that to you.Where to find me: IG: @lukesmithrdCheck out my website HEREFill out a 1:1 Coaching Application HERETIA for listening!
Childhood chronic illness, mental health conditions, and behavioral disorders have been on the rise in recent decades. Is diet a part of the problem? “It's so important that we are mindful of everything that we give our kids and be reading the labels,” says integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh. “Everything that you eat matters because we're literally built of what we eat.” Processed sugar, preservatives, and even metals are often present in food and packaging, including baby food. “So much of the rice tested positive for arsenic, and so much of the baby cereals tested positive for metals,” he adds. Warsh joins “Vital Signs” with Brendon Fallon to highlight why parents should read food labels and what to watch out for when they do. Some ingredients banned in several countries are still lurking in packaged food in the United States. The impact these foods have on children's health is becoming more apparent. “Research shows that it affects your behavior, affects your mood, certainly for kids with neurodevelopmental concerns and hyperactivity concerns, it has significant effects on them.” What are some of the main toxins present in children's food? How can parents with limited time and budgets feed their children well? “Ask any integrated practitioner what's the number one thing that you can do to see the most significant change, it's just improving the diet,” says Warsh. He points to patient examples where healthier diets improved conditions such as asthma, eczema, and chronic infections. “I see it every week, all the time.” Warsh is a board-certified pediatrician specializing in parenting, wellness, and integrative medicine. He is the author of “Parenting at Your Child's Pace: The Integrative Pediatrician's Guide to the First Three Years.” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

“Don't wait until it's too late. You have the power to take preventative steps now.” —Ann LeMasterThe liver is one of the most vital organs in our body. It performs over 500 important functions every day, such as filtering toxins from our blood and metabolizing nutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats from the foods we eat. Without a properly functioning liver, our body would be overwhelmed with waste products and unable to extract essential nutrients. It is crucial to support liver health through diet and lifestyle choices to help it carry out its many responsibilities for overall well-being and disease prevention.In this episode, Ann shares how the liver functions to support overall health, foods that support liver health, what toxins to avoid, what Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is and how common it is, how to detoxify naturally, how effective supplements are for liver functioning, and more.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., neuroendocrinologist, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and a bestselling author on nutrition and metabolic health. We address the “calories in- calories out” (CICO) model of metabolism and weight regulation and how specific macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates), fiber and sugar can modify the CICO equation. We cover how different types of sugars, specifically fructose, a sugar found in liquids, taste intensity, and other factors impact insulin levels, liver, kidney, and metabolic health. We also explore how fructose in non-fruit sources can be addictive (acting similarly to drugs of abuse) and how sugar alters brain circuits related to food cravings and satisfaction. We discuss the role of sugar in childhood and adult obesity, gut health and disease and mental health.
