Podcasts about processed food

What is the role of ultra-processed plant-based products in the diet?

Shana Spence, a registered dietitian (who you might know as @thenutritiontea on social media), joins the pod to bust myths about processed foods and to discuss how family, culture, privilege, and societal influences shape our relationship with food.This is a rerun – we recorded this conversation over a year ago, and misinformation about food and ingredients has only intensified. This episode feels important to share again right now, especially in light of recent reductions in food assistance programs.Shana shares how her initial career path and disordered eating fueled her decision to become a dietitian, and reflects on how dietetics education perpetuates diet culture, focusing on BMI and stereotypes. She talks about her perspective shift over time, the process of moving toward an anti-diet and weight-inclusive approach, and why the social determinants of health matter more than individual food choices.Tune in to hear more about…The pressure of food restriction as a badge of honorPrivilege affecting food choicesThe misleading fears about processed foodsThe oversimplification of food into good vs. bad categories. How family and cultural background impact dietingExternal societal pressures on our relationship with foodDiet culture and healthismDietitian education's role in perpetuating diet cultureStereotyping in healthcareShana's perspective shift on nutrition and dietingRestriction as a form of validationBlack-and-white thinking in nutritionWhy we don't need to "fix" people's eating habitsShana Spence is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in New York, who considers herself an “eat anything” dietitian, and counsels on a HAES (Healthy At Every Size) and an Intuitive Eating approach.

Today we're talking about something that's quietly keeping so many of us spinning our wheels: processed foods. Now before you roll your eyes and think, “Amy, I know chips and cookies aren't health food,”—hang with me. This is bigger than that. Because the truth is… 74% of Americans are now overweight or obese, and 38% are insulin resistant or have prediabetes. So clearly, something in our food system—and our daily habits—is working against us. Stick around to be inspired to enjoy more whole foods to prevent disease, balance hormones, stay satiated, and lose fat!

Chicken Council Comments on “Ultra-Processed Foods”

It's harsh to consider that such an event could well ensure globally for some many.  It's not the 'how to improve your health' kind of information that is easy to discuss, yet it is completely likely according to the Health Agencies that work with indigenous peoples world wide.This begs the urgent question of: Why is this population of people so affected by processed foods, and of course what can be done to reverse this trend.The bigger question is, are indigenous people really so different or are they merely the most sensitive to the life-threatening toxicity process foods, and if that is true than aren't we all next in line for the same fate?Clearly the evidence exactly that given the well documented hyper-increase inf chronic diseases in the US and western economies in general.Key takeaways here are that you must step up your personal responsibility in terms of knowing your own health status via understanding your labs in general, including your genomomic mutations and other blood work. The days of waiting for your doctor to tell you what you need do are fading away.—————————COME SAY HI!!!  ——————————Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episodesFacebook Group about Keto: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/BLOG: https://ketonaturopath.com/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ketonaturopathYouTube channelwww.youtube.com/ketonaturopathJudi's NEW cooking channelKeto Naturopath Kitchenhttps://www.youtube.com/c/KetoNaturopathKitchen———————————  OUR COURSE ——————————PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge———————————  WHERE WE GET OUR WINE (an affiliate link) ——————————Dry farm wineswww.dryfarmwines.com/ketonaturopath—————————Where we get our Genome SNP analysis done ———————————Strategenehttps://bit.ly/3iqCfka————————————Where you can get your labs done——————————————https://www.UltaLabTests.com/ketonaturopath————————————  WHERE WE BUY OUR SUPPLEMENTS  ————————————Wellevate: https://wellevate.me/karl-goldkamp   or call them: 855-935-5382How to use Wellevate https://youtu.be/1ulC0LLIc5cWhy get a Wellevate account to get your supplements??1.

Have you ever stopped to wonder what's actually in the food you eat every day? In this episode, I uncover the truth about real food and processed food—and how understanding the difference can completely change how you feel in your body.I share why so much of what we see on grocery store shelves isn't really food at all, but “food-like substances” our bodies struggle to recognize. You'll learn how eating more whole, natural foods—the kind our grandparents ate—can boost your energy, improve your sleep and digestion, and even regulate your mood.And this isn't about perfection or restriction. It's about reconnecting with how food makes you feel instead of what the scale or calorie tracker says. I even share how I enjoy my birthday cake guilt-free—and why that balance matters.Listen to the full episode to discover how choosing real food can help you reclaim your energy, vitality, and intuitive connection with your body.Topics Covered:The difference between real food and processed foodWhy most modern foods are “food-like substances”How your body recognizes nutrients, not caloriesThe power of eating like your grandparents didThe benefits of eating colorful, whole foods (“eating the rainbow”)How processed foods affect energy, mood, and digestionBalancing nourishment with pleasure (yes, even cake!)Reconnecting with your body through intuitive eatingListen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Alexandra Shustina, NYC's and Miami's premier Integrative board-certified Gastroenterologist and gut health specialist, an expert in the gut microbiome and its role in health and wellness.

In this episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast, Dr. Ronald Hoffman is joined by Dr. Alexandra Shustina, a distinguished integrative gastroenterologist based in New York City and Miami. They delve into Dr. Shustina's journey from conventional to integrative medicine, the importance of addressing the microbiome, and holistic approaches to treating gastrointestinal ailments like IBS, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Dr. Shustina shares her insights on diet, the impact of stress, and the role of supplements and herbal remedies. She discusses the significance of personalized care, visceral manipulation, and mind-body techniques in promoting gut health. The episode also touches on the rising incidence of gastrointestinal cancers in young people and the potential benefits of proactive, integrative healthcare approaches.

Send us a textI unpack what “ultra-processed” really means, why these foods are so easy to overeat, what the best evidence shows (including metabolic-ward studies), and how I personally navigate them without fear or perfectionism. Key topics & evidence (in plain English):What counts as “ultra-processed”? I walk through the NOVA system—useful, not perfect—and where borderline items (frozen meals, boxed mixes) fit. See an overview of NOVA classifications here. How we got here: post-WWII abundance of refined flour, cheap sugars, oils, and a cultural push for convenience—now ~60% of the U.S. diet comes from UPFs (study). Additives: stabilizers, emulsifiers, preservatives, and colors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). I explain why, on their own, they're probably not the main health issue. The bigger problem: UPFs are energy-dense, engineered for bliss (fat/sugar/salt + perfect texture), and easy to eat quickly—driving higher calorie intake.  • Metabolic-ward crossover trial: +~508 kcal/day when participants ate UPFs vs minimally processed (Cell 2019). • Overweight adults in a crossover design: +~814 kcal/day on the UPF week (PubMed). • Another recent crossover RCT reports ~300 kcal/day higher on UPFs (Nature Medicine 2025). What I recommend (and what I do):Prioritize whole foods most of the time; shop the perimeter; cook when you can. Canned tomatoes/beans and frozen fruits/peas are fine helpers. If weight, diabetes, or blood pressure are concerns, be extra cautious with UPFs—they're designed to be irresistible and calorie-dense. Moderation wins: I enjoy favorites (yes, even boxed mac 'n' cheese and crunchy peanut butter) without letting them dominate my plate. Takeaways you can use today:Build meals around minimally processed proteins, veggies, fruits, and beans; let convenience items support—not star—in your diet. Watch “calorie-dense + easy to overeat” combos (chips, sweets, fast food). If you have them, portion once, then put the package away. If symptoms or inflammation are puzzling you, try a short UPF-light experiment (2–4 weeks) and see how you feel. If this episode helped, please follow and leave a quick review—and share it with a friend who's curious about UPFs.

Ultra-processed food addiction in a nationally representative sample of older adults in the USA  Addiction Using a cross-sectional online and telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of older adults (aged 50–80 years) in the US, this study examined the prevalence of ultra-processed food addiction (UPFA) in older US adults and its association with various health domains.  It found that ultra-processed food addiction appears to be prevalent among older adults in the US, particularly among women who were in adolescence and early adulthood when the nutrient quality of the US food supply worsened. Addictive patterns of UPF intake appear to be associated with poorer physical health, mental health, and social well-being.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

#68: We all know babies don't need added sugar—but avoiding it is harder than you think. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Robert Lustig, one of the world's leading experts on sugar and metabolism, to uncover the hidden ways sugar sneaks into baby foods and what parents can do to keep it out. If you've ever wondered how to protect your baby from added sugar and help them build a lifetime of positive food preferences, this conversation will open your eyes to what's really going on in our food supply—and what you can do about it. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. How to spot hidden sugars in common baby foods, pouches and yogurts - and then which real food alternatives you can swap in instead. 2. Why Dr. Lustig believes pureeing vegetables for your baby does not convey the same health beliefs as eating the intact versions of these foods 3. What the difference between apples, applesauce and apple juice is when it comes to fiber and carbohydrate load and impact on blood sugar levels Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podast/68 Links from this episode: • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Lustig's personal / professional website is located at www.robertlustig.com • The non-profit Eat Real that Dr. Lustig is the Chief Medical Officer of is located here: https://eatreal.org/about/ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Lustig's UCSF Sugar Science resource (...the one that vetted 8,000 clinical research articles down into a few infographics for you :) is located here: https://sugarscience.ucsf.edu/ ⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Lustig's books on Amazon (affiliate links) • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity and Disease • Metabolical: The Lure and Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine (release May 2021) Movies that Dr. Lustig has been featured in that were mentioned in the podcast episode • Fed Up • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sugar Coated: How the Food Industry Seduced the World One Spoonful at a Time • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sugar the Bitter Truth (...Dr. Lustig in the longest viral video you'll ever watch!)

While we're making progress in TREATING cancer, worldwide cancer INCIDENCE is soaring, especially among young people; New guidelines for colon cancer screening urge earlier start at age 45; Rates of peanut allergy are declining as more parents follow revised advice to introduce nuts earlier to kids; What's with all the buzz about methylene blue? Legalization and stronger pot are creating an epidemic of ER visits for uncontrolled vomiting, debilitating abdominal pain; New smart toilet gives you a report card on your poop; When Zoloft doesn't work for anxiety.

Ever wonder why some foods feel impossible to stop eating? We pull back the curtain on how ultra-processed products are engineered to hook your taste buds, spike your blood sugar, and keep you coming back—while quietly nudging up your risk for type 2 diabetes, mood swings, and gut disruption. With nutritionist Julie Ruelle from Go Coco, we translate the science into everyday choices that protect your hormones, energy, and sanity.We start by separating helpful processing—like freezing vegetables or turning milk into yogurt—from ultra-processed foods packed with dyes, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, and ingredients your grandparents wouldn't recognize. Julie breaks down the label tricks behind words like “healthy” and “vegan,” and shows how to scan ingredient lists before nutrition panels. From there, we explore the gut-brain axis: why additives and quick carbs can inflame your microbiome, trigger cravings, and derail your mood and focus. You'll learn how probiotic foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and prebiotic fibers (whole grains, beans, veggies, fruit) rebuild your gut—and how noticeable improvements often start within two weeks. We share practical ideas: replace the 60-gram sugar coffee drink with a home version using cinnamon and vanilla, upgrade cereal by choosing short-ingredient options and adding nuts and berries, and swap fruit bars for whole fruit plus seeds. We also talk organic priorities for meats and dairy, and why calorie counting can mislead you when nutrient density is the bigger lever.If you're ready to step off the sugar-crash roller coaster and build meals that steady your energy and mood, this conversation gives you the roadmap—clear, doable, and built for real life.

Steve sits down with Sayer Ji, advisor for MAHA Action and Chairman of the Global Wellness Forum, to explore how processed food has become America's number one health risk. They discuss the rise of ultra-processed foods, the role of the food industry in shaping public health, and how chronic diseases are fueled by dietary choices influenced by profit-driven agendas. Sayer also highlights actionable ways Americans can reclaim their health, make smarter food choices, and demand meaningful reform in U.S. public health policy.

An estimated one third of Canadian adults are obese, and ultra-processed foods are a major culprit. Leading nutrition scientist Kevin Hall recently co-wrote a new book on how foods nourish and harm us. He says understanding what's in our food is essential for our health, and that not all ultra-processed foods are bad.For transcripts of The Dose, please visit: lnk.to/dose-transcripts.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter David Allison is a world-renowned scientist and award-winning scientific writer who has spent more than two decades at the forefront of obesity research. In this episode, David joins for his third appearance on The Drive to bring clarity to one of the most contentious topics in modern nutrition—protein. He explores the historical pattern of demonizing macronutrients, the origins and limitations of the RDA for protein, and what the evidence really says about higher protein intake, muscle protein synthesis, and whether concerns about harm are supported by actual data. He also discusses the challenges of conducting rigorous nutrition studies, including the limits of epidemiology and crossover designs, as well as conflicts of interest in nutrition science and why transparency around data, methods, and logic matter more than funding sources. The episode closes with a discussion on processed and ultra-processed foods, the public health challenges of tackling obesity, and whether future solutions may depend more on drugs like GLP-1 agonists or broader societal changes. This is part one of a two-part deep dive on protein, setting the stage for next week's conversation with Rhonda Patrick. We discuss: The cyclical pattern of demonizing different macronutrients in nutrition and why protein has recently become the latest target of controversy [3:15]; The origin and limits of the protein RDA: from survival thresholds to modern optimization [6:30]; Trust vs. trustworthiness: why data, methods, and logic matter more than motives in science [13:30]; The challenges of nutrition science: methodological limits, emotional bias, and the path to honest progress [17:15]; Why the protein RDA is largely inadequate for most people, and the lack of human evidence that high protein intake is harmful [30:30]; Understanding the dose-response curve for muscle protein synthesis as protein intake increases [45:15]; Why nutrition trials are chronically underpowered due to weak economic incentives, and how this skews evidence quality and perceptions of conflict [48:15]; The limitations and biases of nutrition epidemiology, and the potential role of AI-assisted review to improve it [56:15]; The lack of compelling evidence of harm with higher protein intake, and why we should shift away from assuming danger [1:04:15]; Pragmatic targets for protein intake [1:09:30]; Defining processed and ultra-processed foods and whether they are inherently harmful [1:16:15]; The search for a guiding principle of what's healthy to eat: simple heuristics vs. judging foods by their molecular composition [1:25:00]; Why conventional public health interventions for obesity have largely failed [1:38:15]; Two ideas from David for addressing the metabolic health problem in society [1:42:30]; The potential of GLP-1 agonists to play a large role in public health [1:46:30]; and More.

Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., is one of the most frequently quoted post viral CFS, fibromyalgia, energy, sleep and pain medical authorities in the world. He is here today to discuss the findings of a recent study on ultra processed foods. Ultra processed foods are becoming dominant in the global food supply. Prospective cohort studies have consistently found an association between high consumption of ultra processed foods and increased risk of several noncommunicable diseases and all-cause mortality. The study aimed to (1) estimate the risk of all-cause mortality for ultra processed foods consumption and (2) estimate the attributable epidemiologic burden of ultra processed food consumption in 8 select countries.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-02-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by explaining how blood pressure treatment guidelines have been corrected back to 140/90 after the problematic 2015 SPRINT study temporarily changed recommendations to 120/80. That study used ideal measurement conditions - five minutes of quiet sitting, perfect cuff sizes, compliant patients - creating unrealistic targets that caused elderly patients to faint and break hips. The Veterans Administration and major cardiology organizations now recommend treating to 140/90, with statins only for LDL above 190 or 12% ten-year cardiovascular risk. An emailer asks about claims linking Tylenol to autism. Dr. Dawn thoroughly debunks this, explaining that Swedish studies of 2.5 million children found no association when controlling for sibling comparisons. She notes autism rates remained flat from 1960-1990 despite widespread Tylenol use, then spiked after DSM-4 in 1994 and DSM-5 in 2013 broadened diagnostic criteria. Recall bias skews studies since mothers of autistic children are asked leading questions about past Tylenol use during pregnancy when fever treatment was medically necessary. She discusses RFK Jr.'s mixed positions, comparing him to Isaac Newton who excelled at physics but believed in astrology. While criticizing vaccine misinformation, Dr. Dawn strongly supports RFK's stance on ultra-processed foods. She describes NIH researcher Kevin Hall's studies showing people consume 500 extra calories daily on ultra-processed diets versus whole foods, even when nutrients are matched. The US produces 15,000 calories per person daily, with the food industry engineered to promote overconsumption through hyper-palatable fat-sugar-salt combinations. A caller asks about Healthcare 4.0 plans for biometric tracking bracelets and digital twins. Dr. Dawn discusses privacy concerns around constant health monitoring and data collection, noting that while early disease detection could be valuable, mandatory participation raises serious civil liberties issues. She acknowledges voluntary research projects like the Million Man Study but emphasizes the importance of consent and protection against unauthorized data access by advertisers or government agencies. An emailer shares research on ultrasound brain stimulation helmets as alternatives to surgical electrode implants. Dr. Dawn explains how 256-element phased ultrasonic arrays can target brain regions like the visual cortex with high precision mechanical perturbation, potentially treating Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and depression without surgery. The technology remains experimental, requiring MRI guidance, but could become portable and dramatically improve quality of life for neurological conditions currently requiring invasive deep brain stimulation. A caller with adrenal cancer asks about fasting-mimicking diets. Dr. Dawn explains that 14-hour fasting before chemotherapy improves outcomes because healthy cells can downshift metabolism while cancer cells cannot. Cancer cells rely only on glycolysis without mitochondrial function, making them vulnerable during fasting states. She recommends chronotherapy - scheduling treatments during fasting periods - and expresses optimism about new cancer therapies like CAR-T cells and CRISPR technologies. An emailer asks about inulin fiber for fatty liver disease. Dr. Dawn explains how this fiber found in chicory, Jerusalem artichokes, and root vegetables stimulates gut bacteria to break down fructose before it reaches the liver, preventing fructose-induced hepatic lipogenesis. Inulin supplementation protects against fatty liver disease, increases antioxidant production, and helps with obesity by reshaping the gut microbiome to better process dietary sugars.
