Co-Host Jaclyn London (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/london) My guest, Jaclyn London is a registered dietician and a bestselling author on the subject of separating dietary science from scams. As you'll soon find out, she has some surprising--if not downright unorthodox--thoughts on how we as men eat (and drink) horribly, and how improving that situation can make us more visually and socially attractive to women in record time. What is the difference between a fad diet food vs. stuff that genuinely doesn't work? How much of your tendency to gain weight or stay slim depends on who you are and your specific body chemistry? Are there certain men who can get away with being heftier and still be super attractive to women, even as other guys are deemed 'too skinny' by women? But meanwhile, according to Jaclyn there are indeed some key strategies every man can benefit from...even if we've 'tried everything and nothing worked'. Does intermittent fasting work? What works better? Next comes a huge takeaway--the difference between being 'full' and being 'satisfied' after eating. Is that why you're always hungry again an hour after eating at a Chinese Restaurant? Who are these people who eat 'six small meals a day'...and what counts as a 'small meal'? Next, I share the two golden nuggets I got from a guy who lost a ton of weight on how he did it. And how significant is hydration...and then 'returning the rental' later? We as men tend to be terrible about both. So then, what are the quick and effective ways we as men can be more attractive to women fast...all by changing our dietary habits? Jaclyn over-delivers in a big (and again, surprising) way...going so far to give us 'date day' strategies.

Welcome back to this week's REPLAY episode of The Business of Wellness!  Before we get into some exciting trend forecasting content for 2024 (my favorite kind of content), I thought we'd take a moment to look back at the biggest food, nutrition & wellness trends of 2023.  What did I get right? Where did I go awry? Which trends did you see everywhere this year, and which ones of these were a total miss?! Don't be shy….I'd really love to hear your feedback in the form of a review, listeners!  Today's episode is a replay of part one of my two episode series on 2023 trend forecasting in food, nutrition & preventative health, which originally aired in December, 2022. This episode specifically deep-dives on three key areas of opportunity for consumer wellness brands. I get into why I think doing each of these three things can help brands, businesses, products, and services to not only survive the forthcoming economic downturn, but actually thrive during a challenging & competitive period.  We discuss:  What is "wellness" and why is it so difficult to define? Our current healthcare model (& why it's more closely aligned with "sickcare") Trepidation among health professionals to discuss weight in a conversation about preventative health The relationship between food and health (and how this impacts everything else we do in the name of "self-care.") Redefining our current understanding of self-care  Plus, three ways to recession-proof a wellness brand, including:  Focus on your unique value proposition (intentionality) vs. ideology Provide services and/or products that eliminate barriers to behavior change Provide opportunities for customers to build meaningful connection  Thanks for listening to The Business of Wellness with Jaclyn London, MS, RD.  __

Today I'm deep-diving on all things GLP-1 agonist medications and forecasting their impact on the CPG food and beverage industry for 2024 and beyond. Specifically, I discuss:  How GLP-1's change individuals' food preferences, overall intake, and alter taste perception  How the rise of GLP-1's as the pharmaceutical industry's “blockbuster” might affect the food industry in the short and long-term, and how food companies could start to approach this topic as they prepare their product roadmaps for the future What are some specific concerns among individuals taking GLP-1's as it relates to food and beverage products, and their own personal tolerance to specific foods in light of medication side effects? GLP-1's and early satiety: We discuss how the medications create feelings of early satiety– what this means for practitioners, how this affects individual patients, and how the MNT for GERD and early satiety may be beneficial when considering / seeking to understand this patient population more effectively Alcohol, coffee, single-serve convenience foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, tomato-based products, eggs, veggies and fruit, and high saturated fat, high refined carb food products– what do all of these products have in common, and which ones of these will be better tolerated by individuals taking GLP-1's vs. not Side effects of GLP-1's that affect diet and lifestyle, and how these translate to CPG foo and beverage industries and product roadmaps/financial forecasting  My most fascinating finding of all: How tolerance to GLP-1 medications may be promoted through nutrition education & adopting diet & lifestyle shifts BEFORE STARTING the medication vs. referring to a dietitian/receiving nutrition education AFTER starting a GLP-1. I talk about why the lack of nutrition education & counseling may be affecting medication tolerance and ultimately, affecting a patient's ability to adhere to the medication long-term due to diet-related side effects. The foods & beverages NOT AFFECTED by GLP-1's that still demand attention for the sake of helping individuals achieve better cardiometabolic health.

Today on The Business of Wellness Podcast: Justin Levy is the Executive Director of Conscious Alliance, a Colorado-based hunger relief organization, and Randy Gilbride is the VP Commercial Operations at Sunrise Strategic Partners. This summer, Conscious Alliance announced that Sunrise Partners will join their family of annual donors, starting with a meal distribution event last month to support children facing food insecurity as the school year came to a close. Sunrise contributed financially to the event, providing 10,000 meals to local families in need. In addition to their monetary donation, Sunrise employees will donate 10 hours of their time individually to volunteer at Conscious Alliance's national distribution center and headquarters in Broomfield, CO, for a total of 100 hours annually.

In this solo episode, Jaclyn London, MS, RD, will dive deep into the WHO's classification of aspartame as a group 2b carcinogen, analyze the statement as a Registered Dietitian, evaluate the media coverage surrounding this topic, explore the wording of the statement, and ultimately answer the pressing question: Is it safe to drink Diet Coke? Welcome back to The Business of Wellness! Today, I start the episode by looking at the World Health Organization's classification of aspartame as a group 2b carcinogen. This classification means that aspartame has the potential to cause cancer in humans. However, it's crucial to understand the nuances and limitations of this classification. As a Registered Dietitian, it's my job to translate scientific information into practical advice. When it comes to the WHO's statement, it's essential to consider the dosage and exposure levels at which aspartame may pose a risk. Studies that have raised concerns about aspartame's safety often use extremely high doses that far exceed typical human consumption. We go through the statement step by step, with analysis and potential for application mixed in.  Remember: Numerous reputable organizations, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the American Cancer Society, have conducted extensive reviews and concluded that aspartame is safe for consumption within the recommended daily limits. It's also undergone rigorous testing and extensive studies for several decades. The weight of scientific evidence supports its safety when consumed in moderation, even for individuals who may have certain health conditions, such as diabetes or obesity. Next, I examine the wording of the World Health Organization's statement. The use of terms like "carcinogen" can be misleading without proper context: The Group 2b classification does not mean that aspartame is as hazardous as substances like tobacco or asbestos. Rather, it signifies that there is limited evidence and further research is needed to draw definitive conclusions. Plus, WHO's classification system places aspartame in the same category as coffee, pickled vegetables, and talcum powder, which may create unnecessary alarm. It's important to recognize that these substances are not considered equally risky, and the WHO's classification system is primarily intended as a tool for prioritizing further research. Last, I'll wrap up this episode by saying  confidently that it is safe to consume Diet Coke, or any beverage containing aspartame, within the recommended limits. Moderation is key when it comes to any food or drink, including those containing artificial sweeteners. Aspartame has undergone thorough testing and regulatory scrutiny, and it is considered safe by numerous regulatory bodies around the world. It's important to remember that individual sensitivities or allergies may vary, and if you have concerns or specific health conditions, it's always wise to consult with a healthcare professional. ___ This episode of The Business of Wellness is one of my favorites, but I'd love to hear what you think.

It’s always a pleasure to speak with the dynamic and knowledgeable Jackie London, and I’m excited share her insight with you in this episode. Jackie and I met in grad school at NYU; she’s a Registered Dietitian and New York State Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist, Good Housekeeping’s nutrition director, and the author of Dressing on the Side (and Other Diet Myths Debunked): 11 Science-Based Ways to Eat More, Stress Less, and Feel Great About Your Body,” (Grand Central Publishing) In this week’s segment we talk about:    The concept of "wellness” and how the social media heavy world propagates the idea that you have to be someone you’re not in order to be truly living a life of “wellness.”    Wellness and self-care should revolve around things which make you feel rejuvenated    The importance of sustainability in all aspects of wellness; if you can’t do it for life, it may not be for you.    The importance of focusing on our experiences with food rather than on what we should be eating in order to comply with a particular diet.    Healthy living is about focusing on priorities, knowing full well that they can change because like us, they are not stagnant. There’s so much to unpack from my conversation with Jackie and I hope you enjoy listening to her extensive insight. You can connect with her via her book’s website, Instagram and Twitter.     Bio:Jackie London is a Registered Dietitian (RD) and New York State Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist (CDN).

She also conducts GH's taste-tests, in which she'll establish nutritional criteria for products in a food category and then conduct large-scale taste-tests to report in the magazine.   “It's not nutrition until it's eaten”   Jackie also reviews all of the food products that want to use the Good Housekeeping Seal, and evaluates packaged food claims (“low-sodium,” “high-fiber”) to make sure they're legit.  Jackie is one of the visionaries behind the Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem, which launched in 2016 and serves as a new Good Housekeeping Seal for food products.   “It's only one day at a time and one meal at a time”   Jackie's work is featured in the “Ask Jackie” column in Good Housekeeping Magazine as well as the Health section of the GH website.https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/ Some Topics we talk about in this episode:   Introduction // Jaclyn London - 1:15 What is Nutrition to You? - 4:20 Projects that Jaclyn is involved in at Good Housekeeping - 8:22 The “Ask Jackie” Column - 12:50 The Good Housekeeping Nutrition Seal - 17:15 The Emblem Program - 25:31 Wrap-up - 29:25   Find Jackie under the “Health” tab at www.goodhousekeeping.com by clicking on “Nutrition” and the “Ask Jackie” column in each edition of GH Magazine!   Get the Kroger Opt Up App on the App Store and Google or visit www.optupapp.com for more info   Also, be sure to connect with Allison on social media!
