Podcasts about Nutrient density

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Sharon Cryan, founder of FoodNerd, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked pillars of children's health: not just what's in our food, but how it's made. Sharon shares her powerful origin story — born to a single mother with MS, watching chronic illness shape the world around her — and how that journey led her from law school to revolutionizing food manufacturing. Together, they unpack the truth about ultra-processed foods, the gap in processing transparency that even health-conscious parents miss, and why natural flavors aren't as safe as they sound. Sharon also breaks down FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology, the critical first 1,000 days of a child's life, and why their products are specifically formulated for kids on the autistic spectrum. This one will change how you read a food label — and how you stock your pantry.-----Links & Resources:Follow Sharon on Instagram: @sharonrosecryan and @foodnerdincLearn more and shop FoodNerd Products: www.foodnerdinc.com-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:07 Sharon's Origin Story: Born Into Chronic Illness 00:11 The Health Inequality Nobody Was Talking About 00:13 From Wanting to Be a Doctor to Law School 00:16 The FDA Isn't Protecting You — The Food Manufacturer Is 00:23 How to Actually Read a Food Label 00:25 It's Not Just the Ingredients, It's the Processing 00:28 The Dirty Truth About Natural Flavors 00:32 FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology Explained 00:38 The First 1,000 Days: The Most Critical Window of a Child's Life 00:48 Sulforaphane and Kids on the Autistic Spectrum-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

Colleen Kavanagh, CEO of Zego, shares how she's leveraging a $3 Million USDA grant to expand Zego's capacity and enhance the U.S. gluten-free grain supply chain through the acquisition of a processing facility. She talks about the importance of listening to farmers, explains why Montana oats are the cream of the crop, and shares how she's helping build the future of purity verified and nutrient dense foods. Discover how her inclusive approach supports U.S. farmers, reduces costs for brands, and promotes a better food future for all.Key Topics:Zego Foods and CIVC Montana's acquisition of a processing facility in MontanaThe expanded capacity and cost reduction for her brand, Zego FoodsHow she's helping other brands save up to a $1 their retail priceThe importance of listening to farmers and customers before defining services, pricing, and processesSecuring and then re-securing the $3M USDA grants for expansionSupporting U.S. farmers and brands in gluten-free grain processingHow Colleen is using AI to be more confident and efficient in her businessHow the new business model helps Zego Foods lean into its missionZego's Purity Verified commitment and expansionPartnering with Edacious to measure nutrient density of regenerative grainsSound bites:“If we can decrease a brand's cost by say 25 cents at the mill between co-packing and milling, that saves them a dollar on price point on the shelf.”“We have developed a new way of pricing organic grain so that it is a lower price add-on compared to conventional to really encourage brands to go organic.” “The rug was ripped out from underneath us. So by providing that transparency into what was happening with us on the ground and what it meant for other people, it gave people like OTA and CCOF the information that they needed to then go and tell those stories on our behalf in DC.”“Hulless oats are higher in protein and fiber and iron. Those oats only like to grow in arid climates. So Montana is perfect. We're high, we're dry. We have the right growing season.”“Vertically integrating has been fascinating and I have learned so much by listening. I came into this not knowing very much about farming, milling, equipment, or B2B sales for that matter.”“I just listened to their problems. And that's how I got to learn more and more about just how challenging it is, what we're asking them to do and what we really need to do to support their business if we want them to support ours.”“Zego Foods at its heart is 51 % for-profit company and 49 % advocacy organization.”“We test for about 500 different pesticides, and for mycotoxins, gluten allergens and the big four heavy metals.

Your tongue might be the most underused tool we have for understanding food quality — and for moving consumer buying power toward regenerative farming. Sherry Hess, culinary professional, nutritionist, and founder of The Flavor Remedy, makes the case that taste is not a nice-to-have. It is a powerful biological signal, and the food processing industry has understood this far longer than we have.We go deep on the five tastes — salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami — and on why ultra-processed food has been so effective at training us toward intense sweetness while stripping out complexity. Sherry argues that bitterness isn't a flaw to engineer out; it's the missing piece tied to polyphenols, antioxidants, detoxification, glucose metabolism, and satiety. The good news: chefs already know how to balance bitter with umami, fat, protein, and spice. We don't all need to go to culinary school — we just need to borrow a few of their moves.We also take apart the "chocolate steak syndrome": the fitness industry has built an entire pipeline of protein products with steak-level nutrition engineered to taste like chocolate and in doing so, trained a generation to completely ignore what flavour is actually telling them. For investors and brand builders, Sherry has a practical provocation: if a product claiming to be regenerative needs five or six flavourings on the label, it's almost certainly masking the low quality of what's underneathMore topics covered: the five tastes framework and what each signals biologically; why bitter links to immune function, glucose metabolism, and detoxification; how non-nutritive sweeteners disrupt the microbiome.Thoughts?

How do we actually define “healthy food”? And how is it possible that processed, sugary cereals like Lucky Charms score higher than natural foods like eggs and meat in some food scoring systems?Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Ty Beal to explore a newly developed nutritional value scoring system designed to better reflect nutrient density, bioavailability, and chronic disease risk.Unlike many existing systems that can produce confusing or counterintuitive rankings, this approach aims to take a more comprehensive and transparent look at what makes food truly nourishing.In this interview, you'll learn:Why many popular food scoring systems fall shortWhat “nutrient density” really means and why it's more complex than it soundsHow bioavailability, protein quality, and nutrient diversity factor into food qualityThe role of ultra-processing, fiber, omega-3s, and nutrient ratios in shaping health outcomesWhy animal-source foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy can play an important role in a healthy dietHow this system can be adapted to different dietary patterns, including plant-based, omnivorous, and ketogenic approachesDr. Beal also shares the challenges of developing a system like this, from navigating scientific trade-offs to facing intense peer review, and why transparency and flexibility are essential when translating nutrition science into real-world tools.Importantly, this scoring system offers a framework to help individuals, clinicians, and policymakers better understand food quality within the context of overall dietary patterns and metabolic health. Rather than relying on overly simplistic labels like “good” or “bad,” tools like this can help guide more informed, personalized decisions.

Glenn Elzinga is a seasoned rancher who has spent 34 years managing Alderspring Ranch in the wild, high-country landscapes of Idaho. Growing up on conventional farms that relied heavily on chemicals and formulaic business models, Glenn's career shifted dramatically after a "clobber over the head" moment forced him to innovate to survive. Today, he and his family manage 47,000 acres of wilderness rangeland, where they have pioneered "inheritance grazing" by living with their cattle 24-7 on horseback to coexist with wolves and maximize plant diversity.  By collaborating with researchers like Dr. Stephan van Vliet, he has provided empirical evidence that grazing cattle on diverse wild ranges produces beef with significantly higher anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds compared to feedlot alternatives. His work emphasizes the "nutritional wisdom" of animals and the importance of vertical enterprise stacking to create a profitable, multi-generational future for regenerative agriculture.  In this episode, John and Glenn discuss:  The shift from formulaic commodity agriculture to the "Wild West" of the regenerative space.  How maintaining human presence on the ground allows ranchers to coexist with predators like wolves.  The results of metabolomics research comparing wild-range beef to feedlot beef.  The concept of nutritional wisdom and how cattle self-select plants for preventative medicine.  Why handling cattle with a focus on their left-eye perception reduces stress and improves performance.  Moving from horizontal expansion to vertical stacking to bring the next generation into agriculture.   Additional Resources To learn more about Glenn and Alderspring ranch, please visit: https://www.alderspring.com/  About John Kempf  John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Nutrient density refers to the concentration of vitamins and minerals in crops relative to their yield. There are widespread claims that today's fruits, vegetables, and grains contain fewer micronutrients than in decades past, often linked to modern farming practices or soil degradation. This issue is important because if staple crops become less nutritious, it could silently undermine dietary quality and contribute to micronutrient deficiencies ("hidden hunger") in populations. Dr. Edward Joy is uniquely qualified to address this topic. As a senior research fellow in food systems and nutrition at Rothamsted Research and an associate professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, his work centers on the intersection of agriculture and nutrition. In this conversation, Dr. Joy draws on evidence from agronomy and public health to clarify whether the nutrient content of crops has indeed declined, what factors might be responsible (from soil health to plant breeding and climate change), and what we can do to improve the situation. The discussion emphasizes an evidence-based perspective on soil nutrients, crop varieties, and interventions, cutting through myths to identify real concerns and practical solutions.

Originally recorded at the 2021 Farm & Food Symposium, this special panel brings together four influential voices to explore the importance of nutrient density in our food and why it should matter to all of us — farmers, consumers, and everyone in between.Moderated by Hilary Gonzalez of the Spokane Conservation District, this conversation features:David Montgomery & Anne Biklé, authors of What Your Food AteScott Gail, Bio Farming Manager at the Spokane Conservation DistrictDavid Knaus, Founder of Apical LabsTogether, they dig into how soil health, farming practices, and regenerative systems are deeply tied to the nutritional quality of what ends up on our plates. The panelists offer science-backed insights and practical steps to move toward a more resilient, health-focused food system.

Everyone talks about calories and macros, but almost nobody talks about micros. In this episode, I break down why your diet's nutrient density is the difference between thriving in a fat loss phase and feeling like absolute garbage. You can hit your macros and still be undernourished if most of your food is ultra-processed. That means lower energy, higher cravings, slower recovery, and worse results. I'll walk you through why vitamins and minerals are the real drivers of performance, metabolism, and consistency, and how to build a diet that supports your hormones, mood, and metabolism instead of fighting them. If you want to feel great while getting lean, this is your blueprint: calories set the stage, macros build the body, but micros determine how well that body performs.
