"Calcium from food is the ideal source." — Dr. Jennifer Han  Learn more about SEEN Nutrition: https://www.seennutrition.com  If you've been with me for a while, you know bone health is one of my biggest passions. I've worked with the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation for over 10 years, and I'm always on the lookout for innovations that can truly make a difference.  That's why I'm so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Jennifer Han. She's a dual residency–trained, board-certified clinical pharmacist, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of SEEN Nutrition — the company behind the first calcium chew made entirely from real food.  Dr. Han's personal story is remarkable. After a rare bone disease fractured her back just two months after giving birth, she set out to completely rethink calcium supplements — and what she's created could change the way we all think about supporting our bones.  In our conversation, we cover:  Why osteoporosis can affect women at any age — not just later in life  Why most calcium supplements fall short, and what makes food-based calcium different  How small, simple dietary changes (yes, even eating prunes!) can support bone density  The importance of regular DEXA scans for tracking bone health  Why it's never too late — or too early — to start caring for your bones   Dr. Han's message is one I want every listener to hear: bone health is a lifelong commitment, and with the right knowledge and tools, you can protect your strength, mobility, and independence for years to come.  Take a listen—and don't forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.    If you're enjoying Age Better, I'd be so grateful if you left a quick review wherever you listen.     And if there's a topic or question you'd love for me to cover in a future episode, send me a note at agebetterpodcast@gmail.com.

Tonight's episode connects the cultural noise to kitchen-table reality. Then we dig into Marjorie Taylor Greene & Thomas Massie, where they're aligned, where they clash, and why it matters for real-world policy. From there, we pull the curtain on health-insurance corruption, premiums, billing games, denials, and how the system keeps middle class families paying more while others get discounts or even free. I also announce my new Substack which started because of folks losing access to EBT junk foods: practical swaps, simple pantry builds, and budget-friendly recipes that keep you fed without ultra-processed filler. We also talk “beggars on TikTok”, the ethics, the grift, and spotting red flags, before closing with the big question: Are there truly no jobs and prices are impossible, or are we also complaining more? We separate hard numbers from vibes and talk about what we can control at home.

In this episode, Wil chats with longtime friend and restaurateur Drew Moore of Carrboro, NC. Drew shares updates on his ventures, including Venable Bistro, B-Side Lounge, Auto Strada Pizza & Panini, Auto Strada Gelato & Coffee, and the upcoming House of Gatewood Chop House in Hillsborough. He explains how a 2022 trip to France and Italy inspired Auto Strada, modeled after Italian “auto grills,” offering high-quality paninis, pizza with imported Italian flour, and real ingredients at approachable prices. They discuss the challenges of running restaurants, including supply chain issues (especially in beef), workforce recovery post-COVID, rising tuition and its impact on staffing, and educating consumers on healthier food choices. Drew emphasizes values-driven business practices, maintaining ingredient integrity, and making dining experiences approachable while elevating quality, all while balancing the very real, unglamorous daily demands of restaurant ownership.Takeaways: Inspiration from Italy: Auto Strada was inspired by Italian highway “auto grills,” which offer fresh, high-quality paninis, coffee, and gelato, something Drew wanted to bring to North Carolina. Ingredient Integrity: Auto Strada uses imported Italian double-zero flour (non-GMO and glyphosate-free), San Marzano tomatoes, and high-quality Wisconsin cheeses, making their pizza more digestible and flavorful. Educating Consumers: Many customers already recognize the health benefits of authentic ingredients, and Drew uses menu descriptions and conversations to further educate them. Economic Realities: While higher-quality ingredients cost more, Drew notes that dough remains inexpensive compared to cheese and proteins, making pricing manageable for customers. Beef Supply Challenges: The beef market is at its lowest production since the 1940s, making sourcing for the chop house complex; Drew is exploring local farms and co-ops for ethical, high-quality beef. Workforce Recovery: Post-COVID staffing remains challenging, though 2024 has shown improvement. University towns have a unique labor cycle, but graduate school enrollment spikes have slowed industry recovery. Consumer Shifts: Customers are increasingly health-conscious, moving away from processed fast food toward real, nutrient-dense options—a shift that supports Drew's model. Rising Tuition & Labor Market: Drew and Wil discuss the high cost of higher education, diminishing ROI for some degrees, and how AI may replace entry-level jobs, influencing the restaurant labor pool.  The Unseen Side of Ownership: Drew highlights the unglamorous reality of restaurant ownership, fixing toilets, handling equipment breakdowns, and responding to emergencies are all part of the job.

In this podcast, Lisa meets with Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner and Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES), Manya Ronay. Together they discuss a comprehensive approach to nutrition that integrates balanced dietary practices with emotional well-being. They address emotional eating, stress management, and the use of Internal Family Systems to balance dietary choices.Topics Include:Intuitive EatingFood Industry   IFS FrameworkEmotional EatingIntentional Weight Loss Strategies[:35] Lisa encourages listeners to sign up for the final group coaching cohort starting in September and the Reclaiming Peace With Food Retreat at the Omega Institute from September 7-12, 2025.[10:22] Manya introduces herself as a certified health educator, nutrition specialist, and practitioner trained in internal family systems, underscoring a commitment to nuanced health and eating narratives. Lisa encourages listeners to listen to the previous podcast episode with Manya. Lisa and Manya discuss nutritional science and its diverse expert opinions, political influences, and constant evolution. [15:14] Lisa discusses how her approach to food intake is like managing a financial budget, where understanding caloric surplus and deficit plays a key role. She explains how this method allows her to be aware of the calories in food without succumbing to judgment or rigidity, allowing for informed choices to maintain weight balance. [22:00] Manya expresses caution about the potential pitfalls of anti-diet and intuitive eating messages, how they gaslight by promoting absolute freedom from food monitoring. Lisa and Manya discuss the value of mindful eating, how balance is necessary to avoid counterproductive outcomes. [28:25] Manya discusses Kevin Hall's experiment that showed that ultra-processed meals led to higher calorie consumption, while real foods increased satiety and reduced caloric intake, resulting in weight loss. Lisa discusses how her approach to maintaining her weight loss is eating for volume and choosing high-nutrient, low-calorie foods over calorie-dense, low-volume options.[49:30] Lisa and Manya discuss how her living in an environment of high stress has led to her using food to gain a sense of comfort and safety.

On this episode of Stinchfield, Grant is joined by Celebrity Chef Andrew Gruel. The two pull back the curtain on the meat industry and expose the ugly truth: it’s no longer run by the hardworking American ranchers and local farmers—it’s been hijacked by massive multinational food conglomerates. These corporate giants aren’t just in it for profit—they’re manipulating how meat is raised, processed, and marketed, all while cutting corners on quality and jeopardizing our health. Grant breaks down how Big Food floods the market with ultra-processed, chemically-laced meat products disguised as "natural"—robbing us of the nutritional power that real meat used to deliver. Instead of supporting the ranchers who raise cattle the right way, the system props up factory farms, synthetic feedlots, and corporate meatpacking plants that treat animals and consumers like numbers. This isn’t just about food—it’s about control. And it’s time we fight back.

Learn their simple "if it grows or walks, you can eat it" rule that cuts through confusing nutrition advice, plus get practical tips for navigating the supermarket and avoiding the overwhelming macros obsession. Whether you're stuck in the take-away trap, feeling exhausted by midday, or want to break free from the cycle of fad diets and binge eating, this episode shows you exactly how to reclaim your health without complicated rules or expensive supplements.
