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.

At 34, Nicolle faced a daunting diagnosis: melanoma. It was a wake-up call that revealed a gap in the market: the majority of UPF clothing was tailored for women over 55. This void ignited the spark for Ivy Coast. But while skin cancer played a significant role in shaping Ivy Coast's identity, it wasn't the sole inspiration behind her venture into women-owned fashion. Nicolle's journey began long before, at 17, when she set out for New York City to pursue fashion at the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising. The world of fashion and design felt like home, and her ambitions for entrepreneurship burned brightly. Yet, her grandmother's untold story added depth to her aspirations. She, too, had a passion for fashion, earning a full scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Technology. However, societal norms stifled her dreams. In an era where women were pigeonholed into domestic roles, pursuing art and design was deemed impractical and her father demanded her study at secretarial school. Nicolle firmly believes in the power of women to excel in all facets of life. We can be nurturing mothers, devoted wives, and leaders in Fortune 500 companies. Yet, she also recognizes the importance of self-care and pursuing one's passions. It's in these pursuits that we find fulfillment and become better versions of ourselves. Welcome to Ivy Coast, where fashion, wellness, and modern feminism converge—a sanctuary where women can embrace their multifaceted identities with style and grace.https://www.ivycoastcollection.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooNBFCKmpmsK5OxkjGMqAhTGGnVsjqdlbrTcs4AxBU_7GX9lpr2

¿Cómo puede la alimentación influir en un envejecimiento saludable? Un estudio reciente de la Nurses' Health Study y el Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, con datos de más de 30 años y más de 100,000 participantes, revela que seguir ciertos patrones dietéticos puede aumentar significativamente las probabilidades de vivir hasta los 70 o 75 años con una buena salud cognitiva, física y mental, libre de enfermedades crónicas.En este video, exploramos las ocho dietas científicamente respaldadas que pueden ayudarte a prevenir enfermedades no transmisibles y optimizar el envejecimiento: Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND), Alternative Mediterranean Index (aMED), Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI), Healthful Plant-Based Diet Index (hPDI), Reverse Empirical Dietary Index for Hyperinsulinemia (rEDIH) y Reverse Empirically Inflammatory Dietary Pattern (rEDIP). También hablaremos del impacto negativo del consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados (UPF) en la longevidad.Según la investigación, una mayor adherencia a estas dietas puede aumentar hasta 2.24 veces la probabilidad de un envejecimiento saludable. Pero, ¿qué tienen en común estas dietas? Un alto consumo de frutas, verduras, cereales integrales, grasas saludables, frutos secos, legumbres y productos lácteos bajos en grasa, junto con una reducción de grasas trans, sodio, bebidas azucaradas y carnes procesadas.Si te interesa saber cómo adaptar estos patrones alimenticios a tu vida diaria y cómo mejorar tu salud a largo plazo con la alimentación basada en evidencia, este video es para ti. Descubre qué dieta se adapta mejor a tus necesidades y cómo pequeñas elecciones diarias pueden marcar la diferencia en tu bienestar futuro.

Avsnitt 170 av Hälsoveckan by Tyngre handlar om dokumentären Farligt Gott som finns att se på SVTplay. Dokumentären påstås handla om ultraprocessad mat men i själva verket så blandar den flera olika samtidigt som man inte är särskilt tydlig med definitionen på ultraprocessad mat. Till exempel fokuserar man mycket på innehållet av socker, salt och fett. Det pratas även en hel del om en annan kategorisering för mat som heter hyper palatable foods. En kategorisering som diskuterats på djupet i avsnitt 214 av Tyngre Träningssnack. Dokumentären blandar också frisk mellan ämnen där det finns lite bevis och mer ”guilt by association”. För vissa livsmedel tar man upp specifika saker som är bevisat eller troligen problematiska medan andra saker i princip bara verkar svepas med eftersom det tillhör kategorin ultraprocessad mat.

In this powerful and timely conversation, we welcome Dr. Eike Buabang, cognitive neuroscientist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, to explore one of the most fundamental yet overlooked topics in recovery: habits. Dr. Buabang studies the brain mechanisms behind habit formation—why we repeat behaviors even when they no longer serve us, and how stress, repetition, and environment shape our choices. Drawing from both neuroscience and real-world applications, he offers practical insights into how we can intentionally disrupt compulsive patterns and support lasting behavior change. Whether you're navigating ultra-processed food recovery, supporting clients in early abstinence, or trying to create new routines that align with your values, this conversation will give you tools, understanding, and encouragement to work with—not against—your brain.
Contact AnnmarieIn this episode, Annmarie explores the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and how they dominate modern diets. Inspired by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee's conversation with Dr. Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People, she looks at:✅ What qualifies as ultra-processed food and why it's everywhere ✅ The shocking health risks linked to UPFs—including obesity and metabolic disorders ✅ Why convenience foods keep us hooked (and who really benefits) ✅ Practical tips to break free from the UPF trap and make healthier choicesWith 80% of the food consumed by UK teenagers being ultra-processed, it's time to rethink what we eat. Can we escape the cycle of addictive, engineered foods? Let's dive in!
Discussions around ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and their role in public health have gained significant traction in recent years. While some advocate for categorizing and regulating these foods due to their potential negative health effects, others argue that such classifications can oversimplify the issue and detract from more actionable dietary changes. In this episode, Dr. Duane Mellor, a registered dietitian and researcher, joins us to explore the complexities of the UPF debate. Rather than dismissing the concept outright, Dr. Mellor emphasizes the importance of nuanced discussion, bridging the gap between research findings and practical, evidence-based dietary guidance. Throughout this conversation, we unpack the broader implications of ultra-processed foods in the food system, consider how added fat, salt, and sugar contribute to public health challenges, and explore realistic approaches for dietary improvements. Guest Information Dr. Duane Mellor, PhD is a registered dietitian, academic researcher and science communicator. Dr. Mellor is currently working in clinical dietetics, working to support people, families and carers living with diabetes. Previously Dr. Mellor worked in medical education at Aston University, holding the position of Associate Dean for Public Engagement in the College of Health and Life Sciences. After initially working in the areas of clinical trials, Dr. Mellor's other research interests focused on improving nutrition and health by working with communities to celebrate their heritage through food and help tackle barriers resulting from societal inequalities.

Holly is not a professional gardener. She is a writer, editor and podcaster who recently made a sea change, moving outside of a city for the first time in her life which has given her the space (mental, not necessarily geographical) to take on what she describes as her first true hobby... gardening. And boy is she glad she found it! Holly is the Executive Editor at Mamamia and a familiar voice on Mamamia Out Loud as well as her new podcast MID. Holly's fifth novel, He Would Never, is set for release in April 2025. Holly credits Therapy Lettuce for its positive impact on her mental well-being. Holly lives, writes and gardens south of Sydney on the lands of the Jerrinja and Wandi-Wandandian people, on the Yuin nation with her partner, Brent, and their two teenage children. Before we chat about Therapy Lettuce, Emily and Maddie are drinking a Palomoa (tequila, grapefruit, yum yum). Emily's discovered perennial leeks. She's obsessed with her begonia, and is recommending you check out and/or try to be more like Joe's Connected Garden in South Australia. We're both intruiged by our mate Gemma's Pleach (yep - a plum peach interspecies!). Maddie and Emily recommend the walking onion, growing potatoes, and the hardenbergia to Holly, while Holly reciprocates and recommends Virginia La Trioli's 'Friday Night Fog' (Two nips vodka, One nip Cointreau, Half a lime - optional ruby red grapefruit juice.)
In episode 95 of Trail Society, hosts Corrine Malcolm, Keely Henninger, and Hillary Allen sit down with two standout researchers from Stanford University—Dr. Morgan Smith and Naiomi Hunter—for an insightful conversation about the intersection of women's health, athletic performance, and wearable technology. Dr. Smith, a sport scientist, coach, and postdoctoral fellow with the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Stanford, is passionate about how physiology and metabolism influence performance, especially for women in sport. Her research is grounded in the real world, as she also coaches high school athletes, lifts weights, and enjoys time outdoors with her dog, Reggie. Naiomi Hunter, a PhD candidate in Stanford's School of Medicine, focuses on the menstrual cycle and its impact on female athlete performance through wearable tech and biometric data. With a strong commitment to reproductive justice and healthcare equity, Naiomi's work seeks to create more inclusive and personalized approaches to reproductive care for marginalized communities. In this episode, they explore the potential of wearables in tracking menstrual cycle data, the challenges in the current research, and why individualized training plans are key to optimizing performance. They also discuss the importance of mentorship for women of color in science, their passion for combining sport and research, and the exciting future of wearable technology in improving athletic health.

In this episode, we dive into a hot topic in the world of Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) Use Disorder—Harm Reduction. This concept, widely recognized in substance use recovery, has been largely undefined or misunderstood in the food addiction space. Today, we explore: What is harm reduction? How does it work in food addiction recovery? Who might benefit from harm reduction strategies? Practical ways harm reduction can be applied in real-world recovery Join Clarissa and Molly as they break down harm reduction principles, share real-life client applications, and discuss how respect for autonomy, compassion over shame, and evidence-based strategies can support individuals on their unique recovery paths. Key Topics Discussed: ✅ Respecting Individual Recovery Journeys – Meeting people where they're at without shame or coercion ✅ Common Misconceptions About Harm Reduction – How it differs from moderation management ✅ Practical Harm Reduction Strategies – Meal timing, food sequencing, mindful eating, and more ✅ Addressing Clinician Pushback – Why harm reduction is often misunderstood in food addiction spaces ✅ Balancing Abstinence & Harm Reduction – Helping clients determine the best path for them ✅ The Role of Medications & Surgical Interventions – Understanding how medical tools can support food addiction recovery Key Harm Reduction Principles: 1. Respect for the Person Compassion over shame: People struggling with UPF addiction deserve respect and understanding—not guilt or judgment. Meeting people where they are: Recovery is personal; some may need to eliminate certain foods, while others focus on reducing harm without complete abstinence. Building trust: Encouraging open, non-judgmental conversations fosters a supportive recovery environment. 2. Commitment to Evidence Understanding food addiction science: Research shows UPFs hijack the brain's reward system, leading to compulsive overeating. Harm reduction is based on evidence, not willpower. Using proven strategies: Structured meal planning, protein-rich whole foods, and blood sugar stabilization can help reduce cravings and binge episodes. Medication as a tool: Some individuals benefit from medications like Naltrexone/Bupropion to regulate cravings—similar to medication-assisted treatment for substance use. 3. Focus on Harms Minimizing the most damaging behaviors: Recovery is not about immediate perfection but reducing harm over time. Shifting food choices: A harm-reduction model may involve replacing binge-triggering UPFs with minimally processed alternatives. Reducing metabolic harm: Eating whole foods first, balancing blood sugar, and prioritizing nutrition can help mitigate UPF-related health consequences. 4. Recognizing Food Addiction Realities Not everyone can quit UPFs overnight: A phased approach may be more sustainable. UPFs are engineered for addiction: Willpower alone is not enough—practical strategies like structured eating and environmental changes can help. Food as a coping mechanism: Understanding the emotional role of UPFs helps individuals develop healthier coping strategies. 5. Prioritizing Autonomy Individualized recovery paths: Some people thrive with full abstinence, while others focus on reducing harm in certain settings (e.g., social gatherings). Empowering self-directed choices: Individuals should have the freedom to set their own recovery boundaries and decide which tools work for them. Allowing flexibility: Recovery is not all-or-nothing—setbacks are learning experiences, not failures. 6. Socio-Cultural Sensitivity Considering food access and affordability: Many people in recovery have financial or geographical barriers to whole foods. Harm reduction respects these realities. Cultural food traditions: Recovery must honor cultural identity while balancing UPF reduction goals. Reducing stigma in marginalized communities: A non-judgmental, compassionate approach is crucial, especially for those with limited resources. Final Takeaway: Harm reduction is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and neither is abstinence. The key is bio-individuality—what works for YOU? We encourage both individuals in recovery and clinicians to stay curious, open-minded, and evidence-based when considering recovery tools.

This episode elucidates the significant role of endocrine disruptors—ubiquitous chemicals present in various everyday products, including plastics, food packaging, and personal care items—that interfere with natural hormone functions. These disruptors contribute to the alarming trends of declining testosterone levels, fertility issues, and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance. We delve into the scientific underpinnings of these endocrine disruptors, examining their origins and the mechanisms by which they precipitate metabolic dysfunction and chronic diseases. Ultimately, we advocate for informed lifestyle choices and dietary modifications to mitigate exposure to these harmful substances and promote hormonal health.Studies and Research Referenced:Ultra-Processed Foods Intake and Sex Hormone Levels Among Adolescents: This study found that UPF consumption is associated with increased exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDCs), such as phthalates and bisphenols, which are known to interfere with the body's hormonal balance. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govUltra-Processed and Fast Food Consumption, Exposure to Phthalates During Pregnancy: This study found that consuming ultra-processed foods may increase exposure to phthalates, a group of endocrine disruptors prevalent in food contact materials. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govStudy Finds Widespread Exposure to Hormone-Disrupting Chemical During Pregnancy: Research from Rutgers University indicates that diets higher in ultra-processed foods are associated with increased concentrations of zearalenone (ZEN), a mycoestrogen that mimics estrogen in the body. rutgers.eduThe Connection Between Ultra-Processed Foods and Endocrine Disruptors: This article examines how UPFs often contain additives and contaminants that act as endocrine disruptors.

Dr Chris van Tulleken has been at the forefront of the campaign to change our food system and better regulate the sale of ultra-processed foods (UPF). This year he will be giving the Royal Institution Christmas lectures, Britain's most prestigious public science lectures, in which he'll be investigating how food has fundamentally shaped human evolution, the importance of our microbiome – as the extra ‘organ' we didn't know we had – and how we can all eat better in future, for the sake of our own health and the health of the planet. Nicola Davis sat down with Van Tulleken to discuss the lectures, the challenge of understanding the impact of UPFs on our health, and his top tip for Christmas dinner. Madeleine Finlay hears from them both in this Christmas special edition of Science Weekly. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod
Podcast Overview: The Truth About Ultra-Processed Foods In this episode, we explore the eye-opening insights from Chris van Tulleken's book, Ultra-Processed People, revealing the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). UPFs, often found in sugary snacks, ready meals, and sodas, are loaded with artificial additives, preservatives, and unrecognizable ingredients. These foods are designed to be addictive, altering brain chemistry and driving overconsumption, as evidenced by studies like Kevin Hall's 2019 trial, which showed participants eating 500 extra calories daily on a UPF diet. The result? Weight gain, mood shifts, and chronic health issues like obesity and diabetes. UPFs' dominance stems from systemic factors, including marketing, affordability, and convenience, but their health impacts are far-reaching. From ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup to artificial flavors and emulsifiers, these foods are engineered for taste and shelf life at the expense of nutrition.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we're joined by Bennett “Jolly” Fisher, the founder and visionary behind Jolly Gear. We learn all about Jolly's entry into backpacking, including his first thru-hike at just 18 years old alongside his dad, hiking 300 miles of the PCT on a broken ankle, and some hilariously embarrassing Jabba stories from their recent hike on the CDT. We, of course, dive deep into his apparel company, Jolly Gear, and how he's flipped the thru-hiking fashion world on its head with his unique sun hoodie button-downs. We chat about the biggest challenges associated with running an apparel business, how a misunderstanding lead to his early signature design, how he manages the business while backpacking, his process for sourcing new designs, and much more. We close the show with the triple crown of cringeworthy things, a discussion of what should be free but isn't, an impromptu drop-in from Jabba, and an AT conditions update courtesy of Quadzilla.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the impact of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption on sperm quality, referencing a study from the journal Human Reproduction. Findings indicate higher UPF intake is linked to lower sperm count, concentration, and motility in Spanish men. Leyla also explores a study on the effects of a lifelong vegetarian diet on male fertility in Loma Linda's Blue Zone population. She emphasizes that ultra processed foods and higher body mass index (BMI) correlate with deteriorating sperm quality, suggesting whole foods as a healthier dietary choice to improve fertility.
Purified and Born Again 1 Peter 1:22-2:3 Teacher: Blaine Dennison, Congregational Care Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Dr. Chris van Tulleken set out on a 30-day quest to discover what happens to the body on a diet of ultra-processed food (UPF). He found himself consuming more and more calories as time went on, yet he rarely felt full. One night he remarked, “I'm not enjoying it, but I can't stop.” The UPFs were causing him to want to eat increasingly more even while physically he was feeling worse. With a similar introspection, the Apostle Peter calls us to take care of our spiritual diet by consuming what is good and putting off the junk that stunts our growth. Is your heart feeling sluggish and insatiable? Do you crave what you know you shouldn't? Join us tomorrow morning for a spiritual checkup and learn how to get your heart in shape.
Today's bonus guest is Dr Chris van Tulleken, he's the author of the bestselling book Ultra Processed People, an infectious diseases doctor and broadcaster. Now for anyone who's been listening to Big Fish for a while, you'll know that this book absolutely changed my life. It's an eye-opening exploration into ultra processed food and why we can't stop eating it. He looks at how this industrially processed food is designed and marketed to be addictive, why exercise and willpower can't save us and what UPF is really doing to our bodies and our health. I absolutely loved this conversation with Chris - you'll find it utterly fascinating.
While researching for his bestselling book, Food for Life, Tim dug deep into the new science around UPFs. We used to think they were unhealthy because of their high salt, fat and sugar levels. But there's much more to the story. Tim helps us navigate our UPF-filled grocery stores to eat healthier, and explains what he got wrong about a food group he'd previously overlooked... the humble mushroom.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by dermatologist, and my old pal, Dr. Katie Manno. This is a chat I've been wanting to highlight on this podcast for years now, and it lived up to my lofty expectations. Dr. Manno gives us a thorough runthrough on all things skin health related and how it pertains to extended time in the outdoors, including why sun protection is so important, the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens and which is better for the trail, how much and what SPF sunscreen hikers should use, the safety profile of chemical sunscreens and what chemicals specifically to avoid, sun protective clothing and the science behind UPF ratings, vitamin D considerations when using sunscreen and/or sun clothing, what supplements and skin care products she recommends to optimize skin health, and much more. Needless to say, you will come away from this chat smarter than you entered it. We wrap the show with why one former guest always uses a bear canister when thru-hiking, we opine on whether donating hair can land you in the slammer, I give an update on my 175-mile lap around Denver, and the triple crown of dog breeds.
