In this illuminating episode we speak with Dr. Filippa Juul. An epidemiologist and leading researcher on the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on human health. Together, we unpack what ultra-processed really means, why it's not just about calories or macros, and how these foods are stealthily contributing to the global rise in obesity, chronic illness, and food addiction. Dr. Filippa Juul is a nutritional epidemiologist and Faculty Fellow at the Department of Public Health Policy and Management at the New York University School of Global Public Health (NYU GPH). She earned her PhD in Epidemiology from NYU GPH in 2020, following a MSc in Public Health Nutrition from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and a BA in Nutrition and Dietetics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. Dr. Juul's research focuses on improving cardiometabolic health outcomes at the population level, with a particular interest in the role of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in diet quality, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. She utilizes large U.S. population studies to examine these associations and is also exploring the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of UPFs on cardiometabolic health.  Dr. Juul explains the NOVA classification system, dives into recent groundbreaking studies, and offers insights into why UPFs are so difficult to resist—and what we can do about it, both individually and at the policy level.

Follow us on Instagram @yourdietsuckspod!This week, Kylee and Zoë take a deep dive into ultra-processed foods: what they are, where they came from, how they're designed to light up your brain's reward systems, and what role they play in athletic nutrition. We talk about everything from cereal meant to prevent sinning to the low-fat diet craze, the war-time origins of shelf-stable food, and the engineering behind the foods that are hyper-palatable.We also get into the landmark NIH study that showed just how much processing—not just calories or macros—can influence how much we eat, how full we feel, and how our bodies respond to food. This episode is about helping you understand the systems at play, so you can make choices that support your health and performance without getting caught in fear or shame about the food you eat. Because when it comes to ultra-processed foods, context matters—especially for athletes.

This was a very cool conversation with a kindred spirit, Dr David Wiss, where we do a deep dive into nutrition, especially as it pertains to mental health.  David enrolled at California State University, Northridge where he earned a Master's of Science in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science. This led to a dietetic internship at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center where he received specialized training on their eating disorders unit. This experience sparked a deep interest in the role of nutrition and the nutritionist profession as part of mental health recovery. David became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in 2013 and founded Nutrition in Recovery, a group practice of RDNs specializing in the treatment of eating and substance use disorders. During this time, David developed a specialized nutrition curriculum that has been incorporated at more than fifty addiction treatment centers in Southern California and worldwide.In his nutritionist profession practice, David consults and develops nutrition protocols for clients in treatment. He also regularly conducts staff training for professionals and speaks at conferences on topics including disordered eating, gut health, and trauma-informed nutrition. In 2017, David received the “Excellence in Practice” award at the national Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo. Based on extensive clinical experience with clients in mental health recovery, he began collaborating with other experts in the field to publish book chapters and manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. In 2017, David matriculated at UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health in the Community Health Sciences department, with a minor in Health Psychology. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) in 2022 by investigating the links between adverse childhood experiences and various mental health outcomes among socially disadvantaged men. During his doctoral training, Dr. Wiss published multiple peer-reviewed manuscripts in the fields of food addiction, eating disorders, substance use disorders, depression, trauma, and childhood sexual abuse. These papers have been published in high-impact journals such as Appetite, the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Frontiers in Psychiatry, Public Health Nutrition, Nutrients, Eating and Weight Disorders, and others. In addition, as a health nutritionist, he has contributed multiple book chapters on topics such as binge eating and dietary restraint. Enclosed is a full link to his publications.

Remembering Hans Diehl, PhD Chosen as “One of America's 20 Super-Heroes of the Health Movement” (Vegetarian Times), Dr. Hans Diehl was the founder of the Lifestyle Medicine Institute in Loma Linda and a Clinical Professor of Preventive Medicine at the School of Medicine of Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA. Offering more than 30 years of leadership in the fast-growing field of Lifestyle Medicine, his pioneering efforts as an epidemiologically trained lifestyle interventionist with the Complete Health Improvement Project (CHIP) and its more than 85,000 graduates have consistently shown how simple lifestyle changes can prevent, arrest, and facilitate the reversal of many of our largely lifestyle related chronic diseases. The clinical results of his research (including two Randomized Clinical CHIP Trials) have been published in more than 45 peer-reviewed medical journals. His books Health Power, Dynamic Living, Take Charge of Your Health, and You-Turn (co-authored with Aileen Ludington) and the Optimal Diet Cookbook (co-authored with Darlene Blaney) have been translated into 36 languages with more than two million copies in circulation. He earned his doctorate in Health Science and an MPH in Public Health Nutrition from Loma Linda University. Prior to founding the Lifestyle Medicine Institute in 1988, Dr. Diehl was the Director of Education and Research at the Pritikin Longevity Center. He contributed to the development of the UCLA Cheer Center and was awarded a post-doctoral research fellowship in cardiovascular (CV) epidemiology (National Institutes of Health).     CHIP, original the Coronary Health Improvement Project, then the Complete Health Improvement Project is now PIVIO.

Are you feeling confused about the differences between vegetarian, vegan, plant-based, and plant-forward diets? With so much noise surrounding nutrition on the internet, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Anna Tseng, a plant-based registered dietician with a master's degree in Public Health Nutrition and founder of Plant Nourished, is here to help clear things up. In our conversation, Anna empowers us with key skills, practical strategies, and tasty plant-based recipes, so we can enjoy a health-transforming, vibrant life without spending long hours in the kitchen. At the end of this conversation, I truly want you to be empowered to eat for your body type. Plant-based eating is centered on plant foods rather than meat, with whole plant-based foods being the focus. Plant-based diets are an umbrella term that covers different types of plant-centered diets, such as vegetarian, vegan, and whole-food plant-based diets. The whole food plant-based diet is focused on minimally processed or unprocessed whole plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes. Plant-based eating is not an all-or-nothing approach. Anna describes it as a spectrum or continuum, where individuals can start at any point and gradually move towards the most healthful plant-based foods. We also discuss research findings on individuals with a predominantly plant-based diet. The statistics are mind-blowing and insightful. The numbers that Anna presented definitely got my attention! A lot of women in my community are perimenopausal and menopausal, so I had to ask Anna for her insight on food and menopausal symptoms. We both agree that changing the way we eat and our lifestyle may seem overwhelming, but by taking small steps we can improve our health and eliminate chronic diseases. There are so many studies and research findings that Anna shares with us in this conversation. Grab a notebook as you listen to this one! Highlights of this episode: We discuss practical tips for incorporating plant-based foods into your diet, particularly for those who may be hesitant or unfamiliar with plant-based eating. For those new to plant-based eating, Anna suggests starting with the first meal of the day and incorporating plant-based proteins and whole grains into meals gradually. Anna emphasizes that calcium can be obtained from various plant-based sources, such as green leafy vegetables, beans, tahini, and oranges, and suggests aiming to meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for calcium. Anna identifies as someone who eats a whole food, plant-based diet, citing health concerns in her extended family as a motivation for transitioning to this way of eating. Anna's expertise goes beyond just exploring new foods. She also helps her clients find clarity in their eating habits. Her Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course provides a step-by-step framework to help you build your skills and confidence in starting and sustaining a thriving plant-based lifestyle. ✨Go to michellefox.com/podcast for SHOW NOTES, TRANSCRIPT, and a link to this YOUTUBE episode.✨ Links mentioned in this episode: Anna Tseng Website Anna Tseng Instagram Anna's course: Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course Previous episodes on Menopause and Nutrition #31: Healing Menopause Through The Power of Nutrition, Part 1 #32: Healing Menopause Through The Power of Nutrition, Part 2 Connect with Michelle: Free meal planner: michellefox.com/planner Instagram: @michellefoxlove Facebook: @michellefoxlove Website: michellefox.com

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) –  in 2019,  reports showed that 38.2 million children under the age of 5 years were estimated to be overweight or obese. Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. In Africa, the number of overweight children under 5 has increased by nearly 24% since 2000.  What makes this worse is the fact that most African countries have this mindset that being overweight has been associated with richness, health, strength, and fertility, whereas in the Western world, the slim body size is widely idealized. So children and teens with obesity are considered nourished and nice hence their obesity is less diagnosed. Today, we have with us Dr. Judwin Ndzo to share her experience as a pediatrician who deals with cases of child obesity on a daily basis. This episode is focused on the causes of child obesity, myths surrounding child obesity, and preventive measures we can put in place to ensure our children don't become obese. We also discussed the impact obesity has on children's mental health. I hope you learn and pick some key points from this episode – remember to share this episode and the lessons learned with your circles.   Meet Our Guest : Dr. Ndzo is a UK-based pediatrician who is passionate about helping children grow, thrive, and achieve their maximal potential in life. Early in her career, after graduating from the University of Buea, Cameroon, she worked at Solidarity Clinic in Buea, where she developed a passion for managing children. Her interest in nutrition led her to her job with MSF Swiss and later the French Red Cross in Garoua-boulaï, Eastern Cameroon where she worked in a refugee camp for almost 2 years, looking after malnourished kids. Following this, she won a Chevening scholarship to study for a master's in Public Health Nutrition at the University of Southampton, UK. The following year, she decided to start her residency in Paediatrics and became a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in 2021. She is keen to mentor and help other young Cameroonians pursue their career goals.  When not working, she enjoys traveling, working out, hiking, cooking, socializing, and hanging out with friends!   Contact Our Guest: Instagram: @aliehjudwin Linkedin:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/judwin-ndzo-16317b70   Things You Will Learn in This Episode:  [00:01 – 03:00] Introduction Getting to know our guest [03:00 – 15:00] Understanding Childhood Obesity What is childhood obesity? Understanding BMI & Growth Charts Obesity in Africa & risk factors Demographical data on obesity The impact of obesity on children's health [15:00 – 30:00] Mental Health of Obese Children & Myths of Obesity Mental health issues children face due to obesity The effects of bullying on obese children Myths surrounding obesity in Africa  The importance of eating healthy diets [30:00 – 42:00] Advise, Recommendations & Ways Out of Obesity Prioritizing breastfeeding and proper weaning Practice exercising and healthy meal habits in the family Advice to the teens facing obesity The importance of being sensitive when addressing obesity Being a good example and positive role model for our children Importance of family therapy and creating safe spaces for discussions around obesity [42:00 – 46:55] Final Words Dr. Ndzo's final words Anyoh's final words   Quotes “Yes, the most important thing is that babies eventually have food. But it's important to talk about the importance of breastfeeding. So we know that babies who are bottle-fed are much more likely to develop obesity in the future and alongside diabetes and or whatnot.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “I see children with diabetes, with hypertension, with low self-esteem, all those things. It really bothers me to see obese children suffer such health problems, especially at such a young age and I think we need to start with the adults, we are we need to be role models to our children. Let's have healthy families because healthy families would lead to healthier communities.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “I see a lot of Cameroonian men who are obese and some of them don't even realize that until they get diagnosed maybe with hypertension and diabetes, and then they start making an effort to want to lose weight. So I think we need to start by looking at our own selves as adults. We cannot be telling a child, you're obese and things when yourself you've not started with yourself.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “So do that BMI test, look at a BMI chart, calculate your BMI, you can literally do it at home, measure your child's height and measure your child's weight. I think anything over 25 is overweight and then obese or morbidly obese. So if your child is falling within that range, then have an honest conversation with them. And you don't necessarily have to be condescending, but just try to see things that you can start by changing in the household. And also having that conversation with them.” – Anyoh Fombad   LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

Strawberries could help reduce harmful inflammation in the colon University of Massachusetts, August 20, 202 Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a set of painful conditions that can cause severe diarrhea and fatigue. Treatments can include medications and surgery. But now researchers report that a simple dietary intervention could mitigate colonic inflammation and improve gut health. In this case, a strawberry—or rather, less than a cupful of strawberries—a day could help keep the doctor away. The dietary consumption of fruits and vegetables has been associated with a lowered risk of IBD. To establish an effective and practical approach to decrease colonic inflammation in both IBD patients and the general population, Xiao and his team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst focused on strawberries due to their wide consumption.  The researchers found that dietary consumption of whole strawberries at a dose equivalent to as low as three-quarters of a cup of strawberries per day in humans significantly suppressed symptoms like body weight loss and bloody diarrhea in mice with IBD. Strawberry treatments also diminished inflammatory responses in the mice's colonic tissue. But decreased inflammation wasn't the strawberry's only conferred benefit during this study.  Following the dietary treatments of whole strawberries, the researchers observed a reversal of that unhealthy microbiota composition in the IBD mice. Xiao's team also obtained experimental data that indicated strawberries might impact abnormal metabolic pathways in the IBD mice, which in turn could lead to the decreased colonic inflammation they observed. Higher diet quality relates to decelerated epigenetic aging  Tufts University, August 1, 2022 DNA methylation–based epigenetic age measures have been used as biological aging markers and are associated with a healthy lifespan. Few population-based studies have examined the relation between diet and epigenetic age acceleration. We aimed to investigate the relation between diet quality and epigenetic age acceleration. We analyzed data from 1995 participants (mean age, 67 years; 55% women) of the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort. Cross-sectional associations between the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score and 3 whole-blood DNA methylation–derived epigenetic age acceleration measures—Dunedin Pace of Aging Methylation (DunedinPoAm), GrimAge acceleration (GrimAA), and PhenoAge acceleration (PhenoAA)—were examined. Conclusions:  Higher diet quality is associated with slower epigenetic age acceleration, which partially explains the beneficial effect of diet quality on the lifespan. Our findings emphasize that adopting a healthy diet is crucial for maintaining healthy aging. Feeling anxious or blue? Ultra-processed foods may be to blame Florida Atlantic University, August 25, 2022 Do you love those sugary-sweet beverages, reconstituted meat products and packaged snacks? You may want to reconsider based on a new study that explored whether individuals who consume higher amounts of ultra-processed food have more adverse mental health symptoms. Researchers from Florida Atlantic University's Schmidt College of Medicine and collaborators explored a nationally representative sample of the United States population to determine if individuals who consume high amounts of ultra-processed foods report significantly more adverse mental health symptoms including depression, anxiety and mentally unhealthy days.  They measured mild depression, number of mental unhealthy days and number of anxious days in 10,359 adults 18 and older from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Results of the study, published in the journal Public Health Nutrition, showed that individuals who consumed the most ultra-processed foods as compared with those who consumed the least amount had statistically significant increases in the adverse mental health symptoms of mild depression, "mentally unhealthy days" and "anxious days." They also had significantly lower rates of reporting zero "mentally unhealthy days" and zero "anxious days." Findings from this study are generalizable to the entire U.S. as well as other Western countries with similar ultra-processed food intakes.   Many types of leisure time activities may lower risk of death for older adults National Cancer Institute, August 25, 2022 Older adults who participate weekly in many different types of leisure time activities, such as walking for exercise, jogging, swimming laps, or playing tennis, may have a lower risk of death from any cause, as well as death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, according to a new study led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health. The findings suggest that it's important for older adults to engage in leisure time activities that they enjoy and can sustain, because many types of these activities may lower the risk of death, the authors wrote. Using data from 272,550 adults between the ages of 59 and 82 who had completed questionnaires about their leisure-time activities as part of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, the researchers looked at whether participating in equivalent amounts of seven different exercise and recreational activities—including running, cycling, swimming, other aerobic exercise, racquet sports, golf, and walking for exercise—was associated with lowered risk of death. The researchers found that achieving the recommended amount of physical activity per week through any combination of these activities was associated with a 13% lower risk of death from any cause compared with no participation in these activities. When they looked at the role of each activity individually, playing racquet sports was associated with a 16% reduction in risk and running with a 15% reduction. However, all the activities investigated were similarly associated with lower risks of death. The levels of activity by the most active individuals (those who exceeded the recommended levels of physical activity) were associated with even greater reductions in the risk of death, but there were diminishing returns as activity levels increased. Even people who did some recreational activity, though less than the recommended amount, had a 5% reduction in risk of death than those who did not participate in any of the activities studied. These activities were also associated with a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Playing racquet sports was associated with the greatest reduction in risk of cardiovascular deaths (27% reduction), while running was associated with the greatest reduction in risk of cancer deaths (19% reduction).   Avocado may resist the effects of leukemia University of Waterloo (Canada), August 19, 2022 One of the many health benefits avocados offer is their ability to ward off cancer. Avocados contain avocatin B, which is a compound found to fight against a type of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to a study carried out by a researcher from the University of Waterloo, Canada. AML is known by many names, like acute myelocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. AML is a type of blood cancer that is most common in older people. Approximately 90 percent of people with this type of cancer die within five years of diagnosis. In the in vitro study, Canadian researcher Paul Spagnuolo found that avocatin B fights AML by targeting leukemia stem cells – which are the root of the disease – without harming healthy, non-cancerous cells. This indicated that the compound is both effective against AML and not toxic to the body. Avocados can also fight against prostate and oral cancer cells. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles conducted a review of studies on the potential health benefits of avocados and looked at evidence that specific avocado extracts can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells and oral cancer cells. They found that the active compounds in avocados make them potentially beneficial for preventing cancer.   News addiction is linked to not only poor mental well-being but physical health too, new study Texas Tech University, August 25, 2022 People with an obsessive urge to constantly check the news are more likely to suffer from stress, anxiety, and physical ill health, finds a new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Health Communication. For many people, reading bad news can make us feel temporarily powerless and distressed. For others, being exposed to a 24-hour news cycle of continually evolving events can have serious impacts on mental and physical well-being—as these new findings, out today, show, with those who have a high-levels of news addiction reporting "significantly greater physical ill-being." "Witnessing these events unfold in the news can bring about a constant state of high alert in some people, kicking their surveillance motives into overdrive and making the world seem like a dark and dangerous place," says Bryan McLaughlin, associate professor of advertising at the College of Media and Communication at Texas Tech University. "For these individuals, a vicious cycle can develop, in which rather than tuning out, they become drawn further in, obsessing over the news and checking for updates around the clock to alleviate their emotional distress. But it doesn't help, and the more they check the news, the more it begins to interfere with other aspects of their lives." To study this phenomenon, McLaughlin and his colleagues,  analyzed data from an online survey of 1,100 US adults. The results revealed that 16.5% of people surveyed showed signs of "severely problematic" news consumption. Such individuals frequently became so immersed and personally invested in news stories that the stories dominated the individual's waking thoughts, disrupted time with family and friends, made it difficult to focus on school or work, and contributed to restlessness and an inability to sleep. 73.6% of those recognized to have severe levels of problematic news consumption reported experiencing mental ill-being "quite a bit" or "very much"—while frequent symptoms were only reported by 8% of all other study participants. 61% of those with severe levels of problematic news reported experiencing physical ill-being "quite a bit" or "very much" compared to only 6.1% for all other study participants. According to McLaughlin, the findings show that there is a need for focused media literacy campaigns to help people develop a healthier relationship with the news.

This week Kylie & Meg picked the brain of the brilliant & beautiful Shelly Najjar about the topic of intuitive eating. She is a Nutrition Mindset Coach, with thousands of hours of training as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, with a Master's degree in Public Health Nutrition. She uses an encouraging, practical, and non-diet approach to help busy women take care of themselves while meeting their goals. Her specialty is in addressing the why and how we eat, helping her clients develop a healthy and stress-free relationship with food, so they can have peace with food, themselves, and their bodies at any size. On this week's episode we discuss what intuitive eating is and where to start. It's a very liberating episode that just might change the way you think about food & eating! You can connect with Shelly on IG @confidentnutritiontravels, join her Intuitive Eating for Busy Women Facebook Group or check out her website: http://confidentnutritionnow.com ! If you are someone who struggles with stress eating, you can also check out her Stop Stress Eating Now bundle! TLDL action steps & takeaways: 1) Intuitive eating, according to Shelly, is changing the "rules" from external diet rules to rules you create based on your internal cues 2) Internal body cues can range, but some common ones to indicate early signs of hunger and fullness are: hunger= mental slowdown or impatience/"on edge" feeling and fullness= less interest in food or eating slower 3) The common response to intuitive eating is, "so does that mean I can eat whatever I want then?" Shelly says then she challenges her clients to ask themselves how they would feel if they did that. Would get tired of that food or enjoy it as much? 4) A good place to start with intuitive eating is to just simply ask yourself what your favorite food is 5) The difference, according to Shelly, between a craving and enjoying a food is that cravings are typically associated with an impulsive feeling, whereas enjoying foods truly comes with a more satisfying feeling 6) Intuitive eating and mindful eating are similar but they aren't the same. There are still "rules" in mindful eating that may not apply in intuitive eating 7) Some of Shelly's tools for intuitive eating include taking a "mindful bite" during a meal, creating your own hunger & fullness "map" where you create your own personal "landmarks" or using Shelly's "My Custom Menu" strategy for when you need a little help! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/curious-women/support

So why does what we eat matter? A growing body of science in the field of cognitive nutrition shows that the “food-brain connection is actually one of the most powerful drivers of our overall well-being. What we eat matters not only for our physical health but for our cognitive and mental health, affecting our risk of anxiety and depression. The science is clear: we can eat our way to better brain health,” says Arianna Huffington, Founder of the The Huffington Post and CEO of Thrive Global. Our guest, Tracye McQuirter, is a transformative leader in the field of plant-based nutrition and black women's health, and has been helping people go vegan for more than 30 years.

Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contributions that explore the massively popular social media platform as a space for self-identification, influence, transformation, and resistance. Artists and journalists join a wide range of scholars to look at food's connection to Instagram from vantage points as diverse as Hong Kong's camera-centric foodie culture, the platform's long history with feminist eateries, and the photography of Australia's livestock producers. What emerges is a portrait of an arena where people do more than build identities and influence. Users negotiate cultural, social, and economic practices in a place that, for all its democratic potential, reinforces entrenched dynamics of power.  Interdisciplinary in approach and transnational in scope, Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation (U Illinois Press, 2022) offers general readers and experts alike new perspectives on an important social media space and its impact on a fundamental area of our lives. The book has been dubbed by the experts in the field as “a veritable smorgasbord of perspectives on the all-pervasive and all-important nature of food on visual social media” (Tama Leaver, the co-author of Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures) that “shows how the digital app and the kind of food representations it supports contribute to the building identities and negotiating social and economic relationships” (Fabio Parasecoli, author of Bite Me: Food in Popular Culture). It is a path-blazing, inspirational work offering a vast array of theoretical perspectives, methodological tools, and conceptual innovations. Emily Contois is Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Tulsa. She holds a PhD in American studies from Brown University along with master's degrees in Gastronomy from Boston University and Public Health Nutrition from University of California, Berkeley. In addition to numerous articles, she is the author of Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture (2020). She serves on the board of the Association for the Study of Food and Society, H-Nutrition, and Advertising and Society Quarterly. As a public scholar, she has written for NBC News, Jezebel, and Nursing Clio and has appeared on CBS This Morning, BBC Ideas, and Ugly Delicious on Netflix.

She earned her PhD in American studies at New York University and was a post- doctoral fellow at Stanford University. Her work explores global digital media, sociotechnical imaginaries of food and agriculture, and philanthrocapitalism and has been published in journals including American Quarterly, Cultural Studies, Journal of Cultural Economy, and Environment and Planning A. She is a member of the Agri-Food Technology Research (AFTeR) Project and is associate editor for the Journal of Cultural Economy, as well as serving on the boards of the Journal of Environmental Media and Communication and Race.
