"You can taste the quality." —Katina Mountanos Most of what's labeled "extra virgin olive oil" on grocery shelves isn't giving you the extra virgin olive oil benefits you think it is — and Kosterina founder Katina Mountanos found that out the hard way.  In this episode, Justine sits down with Katina to unpack why so much store-bought olive oil tastes flat, what polyphenols actually do in the body, and why the "don't cook with olive oil, it has a low smoke point" advice you've been following is flat-out wrong. Katina traces her obsession with real olive oil back to summers on her family's farm in Koroni, Greece — and the moment, years later, that a $12 bottle from a New York supermarket tasted nothing like it. That gap sent her through an olive oil sommelier certification, a deep dive into polyphenol research, and eventually a full-time business built on transparency: harvest dates, single-origin sourcing, and third-party testing for everything from acidity to microplastics. This episode is for anyone who's stood in the oil aisle wondering which bottle is actually worth it, and for anyone rethinking what "seed oil vs olive oil" really means for their health. • High-antioxidant extra-virgin olive oil can contain 500–1,000+ mg/kg of polyphenols, compared to roughly 150 mg/kg in average grocery-store bottles. • Smoke point is not the right test for whether an oil is safe to cook with — free radical emission under heat is what actually matters, and olive oil emits far fewer than seed oils. • A bottle labeled "Italian" or "Greek" extra-virgin olive oil can still be a blend of residual oils from multiple countries and harvests, bottled together under one label. • Plastic packaging accelerates rancidity and can leach microplastics, so glass or tin with a visible harvest date is a stronger buying signal than the words "extra virgin" alone. • Fresh, high-polyphenol olive oil produces a peppery burn at the back of the throat — the same sensation researchers first mistook for ibuprofen contamination. • Cooking with avocado oil or genuine early-harvest olive oil, instead of canola or other seed oils, is a low-effort swap with a real anti-inflammatory upside. Listen to the full conversation for Katina's grocery-aisle checklist and her at-home smell-and-taste test — then subscribe so you never miss an episode. https://tinyurl.com/Essential-Ingredients-Podcast  Meet Katina:  Katina Mountanos is the founder and CEO of Kosterina, a premium Greek extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean foods brand built at the intersection of taste, health, and transparency. Raised between New York and the olive groves of Koroni, Greece, Katina grew up knowing what truly good olive oil should taste like. After becoming a certified olive oil sommelier and uncovering the powerful health benefits of high–polyphenol extra virgin olive oil, she launched Kosterina as a passion project while working in consumer brands at Walmart.  Today, Kosterina's early-harvest, cold-pressed, high-antioxidant olive oils, fruit-infused vinegars, and olives are nationally available at Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, and online, and are recognized for both exceptional flavor and rigorous quality testing. Grounded in the Mediterranean diet, Katina's work champions cooking at home, clean ingredients, and replacing inflammatory seed oils with olive oil to support heart, gut, metabolic, and overall health.  Website Instagram Facebook TikTok Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Podcast Chapters: 00:52 Meet Katina Mountanos: Growing Up in Greek Olive Country 06:09 Why Kosterina's Polyphenol Levels Triple the Average 08:46 Building Kosterina as a Passion Project While at Walmart 14:26 Busting the Smoke Point Myth About Cooking With Olive Oil 16:51 Canola Oil, the "Hateful Eight," and Why Blends Deceive 19:09 How to Spot Real Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the Store 21:48 The Smell-and-Taste Test for Good Olive Oil at Home 27:31 What's Next: Vinegars, Olives, and a 2027 Launch  Resources:  DISCOUNT Get a 15% discount when you shop at Kosterina Use code: essential15 THE PRIMES  ✨ You're more capable than you have ever been, and somehow more invisible than ever.

Why is it so much easier to overeat processed foods than whole foods? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher explore the science behind why processed foods are unhealthy, breaking down how they influence hunger, fullness, calorie intake, and overall nutrition. They explain why whole foods naturally support better satiety and share practical tips for choosing foods that keep you fuller while providing more nutrients. Tune in to learn why small changes to your food choices can have a big impact on your long-term health.Show Notes Dr. Fisher explains why whole foods consistently outperform processed foods nutritionally. Learn how processed and ultra-processed foods contain less than half the micronutrient content per calorie, leaving the body with fewer vitamins and minerals despite consuming the same amount of energy.Amy explains why calorie counting doesn't tell the whole story. She covers how processed foods pack roughly twice as many calories per gram as whole foods, making it easier to overconsume without realizing it.Learn why processed foods make it harder to know when you've had enough to eat. Dr. Fisher explains how reduced chewing and faster eating interfere with the body's natural fullness signals, increasing the likelihood of overeating.Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss the overlooked role chewing plays in digestion. They explain how thoroughly chewing food helps prepare the digestive system, supports satiety, and may reduce bloating and other digestive discomforts.Dr. Fisher explains why ultra-processed foods are consumed so quickly. Learn how research found people eat processed foods more than 50% faster than whole foods, giving the brain less time to recognize fullness.Discover the surprising results of a controlled study comparing processed and whole foods. Dr. Fisher explains how participants consuming ultra-processed meals ate more than 800 additional calories per day and gained nearly 2.5 pounds in just one week.Amy explains why whole foods are naturally more satisfying and how greater nutrient density, lower calorie density, and stronger satiety signals can help people manage their weight while feeling fuller after meals.Dr. Fisher discusses why ingredient labels deserve more attention. He explains how comparing similar products with short and long ingredient lists can help identify foods that are closer to their natural state and often more nutrient-dense.Learn why healthier eating doesn't have to mean giving up favorite foods. Dr. Fisher shares how making small swaps, such as choosing less processed versions of everyday products like bread or potato chips, can meaningfully improve overall nutrition.Learn why the best personal training results often begin in the kitchen.

If this resonated with you, here are additional resources:⭐ APPLY TO SHIFT: https://sidehustlepro.co/shiftIn this episode, I sat down with Dawn Fitch, founder of Pooka Pure and Simple, to talk about the winding road that took her from designing album covers in the music industry to building a natural beauty brand rooted in her own health journey. Dawn opens up about the years it took to get an MS diagnosis, and how healing herself led her to start formulating clean, simple products long before she ever thought of herself as a business owner.We get into the real, unglamorous parts of entrepreneurship: street teaming outside churches before social media existed, a cease-and-desist letter that almost derailed her Whole Foods deal, and the hard lessons of scaling into big box retail. Dawn also shares how she walked away from a failing retail lease with nowhere to go, only to land in the space that's been home to her production for over a decade.Finally, Dawn walks me through the newest chapter of her story: a 250,000 dollar grant from Audible's DEI program that brought Pooka into a beautiful new Newark location, and how an activity she almost treated as an afterthought, the Bloom Bar, became the biggest draw of the whole business.Main TakeawaysProtect your business structure early. Trademark your name, keep separate books, and build SOPs before you're forced to by a cease-and-desist letter or a big retail opportunity.Don't chase big box retail until your core revenue stream is stable enough to absorb the rules, returns, and thin margins that come with it.When a business decision doesn't feel right, it is okay to walk away even without a backup plan. Trust and timing can lead you somewhere better.Build a real activation or experience around your product. Community and connection, not just the product itself, is what keeps customers coming back.Highlights Include(00:41) Dawn's start as a graphic designer in the music industry, designing album covers(01:36) The moment paralysis first hit while she was walking to work(03:04) The five-year journey to her eventual MS diagnosis(05:15) How the name Pooka came from her mother calling her kids her pooka leaders(07:19) Why email marketing became the backbone of the business from day one(11:01) The cease-and-desist letter over the brand name right before entering Whole Foods(13:49) How putting her pride to the side led to her first 10 Whole Foods stores(18:29) Her advice on knowing when a business is truly ready for big box retail(26:51) Why Pooka exited all 62 of its Whole Foods stores last year(29:04) How the Best Life Tribe Facebook group and a sea moss request from a member helped save the business during the pandemic(32:07) Landing the 250,000 dollar Audible DEI grant for the new Newark space(35:14) How the Bloom Bar, almost an afterthought, became the biggest draw of the businessWatch & ListenSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Social MediaWebsite: pookapureandsimple.comInstagram: @PookalitaTikTok: @Pookalita1 Hosted on Acast.

Perimenopause is a stage of life, not a condition — but most of us reach it with almost no understanding of what our hormones are doing. In this episode, nutritional therapist and functional medicine practitioner Gemma McGuigan joins Nicola to explain why progesterone (not just oestrogen) deserves our attention first, why the nervous system is so often "the big revealer" of underlying health issues, and why so much mainstream biohacking advice doesn't serve women well.

"We should not be listening to things outside of us. Your body is telling you what you need." In this episode, Heather and Corey Colwell explore what happens when life forces you to stop long enough to hear the messages your body has been trying to communicate all along. Through a remarkable story that begins with a coyote bite at two years old and winds through years of health challenges, motherhood, overachievement, and a profound near-death experience, this conversation invites you into the space where intuition, healing, and purpose converge. At its heart, this episode is about learning to listen, not to the endless noise outside of us, but to the wisdom already living within our bodies, our souls, and the quiet nudges that keep trying to guide us back toward alignment, vitality, and a life that feels deeply alive. What to listen for:  ☑️ How getting bitten by a coyote at two years old shaped her passion in later life ☑️ Busyness and constantly moving forward keep you from listening to my body ☑️ The near-death experience that helped Corey choose to be in this life   "When people say fighting for your life, you have to recruit everything to get alive again. And so I fought my way back from that moment." ☑️ The importance of listening to that intuitive primal knowing when it comes up ☑️ What it feels like when your soul fully aligns with your body and human experience ☑️ Why it wasn't enough to just be alive and in bed, and what helped turn things around   "I was alive, and everyone's like, 'Great, just stay in bed.' And what happened is I started to experience an intellectual and passion death because my entire why is to solve problems and innovate." ☑️ How to start answering the question of what your body actually needs to thrive ☑️ Why we try to control the outcomes in our children's lives rather than surrendering ☑️ We shouldn't be listening to things outside of us; we should be leaning in   *** About Corey Colwell: Corey Colwell doesn't study problems. She solves them.  She is the person you call when you're stuck — not because she'll tell you why you got there, but because she'll already see three ways out. A licensed psychotherapist (LMFT), published author, and innovation strategist, Corey has spent nearly three decades finding patterns across health, sustainability, media, education, and beyond — and building the bridges to turn those patterns into real, lasting change.

Gut Health, Food Sensitivities, and Functional Medicine: Dr. Kate Davis on Looking for Root Causes In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with fellow chiropractor and functional medicine doctor Dr. Kate Davis about gut health, food sensitivities, stress, the brain-gut connection, and the search for root causes when symptoms do not have easy answers.

Bone loss isn't an inevitable part of aging; it's a reversible signal that something deeper is going wrong, and it starts far earlier than most people are ever warned.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Douglas Lucas, a former Stanford-trained orthopedic surgeon turned bone-health specialist, to discuss:Why bone loss begins around 45 during perimenopause, not 50, and why waiting for your first DEXA scan at 65 is far too late to prevent itThe blind spots in the standard DEXA scan: a scan-to-scan margin of error near 6% and no read on bone quality, only quantityBone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP) you can test from blood to see whether you're building or breaking down bone in real timeWhy the "protein is bad for bones" and "alkalize your diet" beliefs are myths and why protein, minerals, and adequate calcium matter more than calcium aloneWhat rebuilds bone at home: resistance training, real impact like heel drops, and vertical vibration plates used ~10 minutes a dayUnderstanding your bones as a living, changeable organ system means you can catch loss early, measure it honestly, and reverse the trajectory, instead of accepting decline as your fate.Thank you to our sponsors:Head to https://bit.ly/4ftfObn and use code DRLYON for 25% off sitewide.

How do you build a $100M CPG brand when your first retail opportunity falls apart? For Little Spoon, the answer was to stop waiting for the shelf and start building a relationship with the customer. After its initial plans to launch fresh baby food with Whole Foods hit a roadblock, co-founder and chief product officer Angela Vranich helped steer the company toward a DTC-first strategy that transformed Little Spoon into the largest direct-to-consumer baby and kids food brand in the U.S. The company has since expanded into more than 100 products, entered retail through an exclusive partnership with Target, and built a business around understanding what modern parents want. In this episode, Vranich breaks down the decisions, challenges, and operating principles behind Little Spoon's rise — from product innovation and customer education to scaling a complex food business without compromising quality. Show notes: 0:20: Angela Vranich, Co-Founder, Little Spoon – Angela discusses how a setback with Whole Foods ultimately shaped Little Spoon's trajectory, prompting the company to pivot to a direct-to-consumer model. After selling more than one million meals in its first year, Little Spoon validated an opportunity to disrupt kids' nutrition and build a deeper relationship with families. She talks about the company's commitment to premium ingredients, rigorous testing, and transparency, as well as the operational complexity of managing more than 25 co-manufacturers, six fulfillment centers, and products across ambient, refrigerated, and frozen categories. Angela also shares how Little Spoon built a brand centered on education and content, recognizing that parents were looking not just for food, but guidance and support as they navigated feeding their children. She also highlights the company's culture, where transparency and collaboration help ensure that ideas can come from anywhere within the organization. Finally, Angela explains why Little Spoon entered retail through a major Target launch in 2025 and how the company is using insights from its DTC platform to inform its retail strategy and thoughtful expansion into additional chains.

The ex-model who turned an exploding kitchen of cauliflower into the pasta brand. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/founded. Application times may vary. Rates may vary. "My husband was just like, 'What's happening?' The kitchen was just an explosion of cauliflower." That's how Sunny & Luna started, and this episode opens with it. Giulia Berretti spent her teens modelling in New York on as little as 800 calories a day, inside an industry that treated food as the enemy. The daughter of a winemaker and a restaurateur, taught to make pasta by her nonna, she walked away. When COVID hit, she rebuilt her relationship with food into a business: vegetable-packed fresh pasta, born in her own kitchen. She sold her first batches to neighbours on Nextdoor, pitched at the Bread & Jam festival with four gnocchi in a plastic bag, and Whole Foods and Planet Organic loved it. She then spent six months knocking on the doors of Italian manufacturers who kept asking "who are you?" until one said yes. When we recorded this conversation, Giulia was days from her first national listing and closing a £500K angel round. Today, Sunny & Luna is on the shelves of Sainsbury's, Ocado, Whole Foods and Planet Organic. Proof that everything she talks about in this episode worked. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Never compromise on your non-negotiables. When the Ukraine war sent costs spiralling, Giulia held her quality line and raised prices instead of cutting corners, and customers rewarded her for it. Know what you won't trade, and price accordingly. 2. Passion plus authenticity beats playbooks. She built a standout brand in a category nobody had disrupted (fresh pasta) by staying close to what she genuinely knows and loves. Innovation came from her story, not from copying someone else's. 3. Persistence needs patience. "When the train is coming, you don't have to jump straight away." Ups and downs are the job. The founders who make it are the ones who keep going without rushing decisions that compromise the long-term vision.

Take care of your microbiome, and it will take care of youDid you know that every meal feeds not only you, but also the trillions of microorganisms living in your digestive tract? Research continues to suggest that the foods we eat directly influence our gut microbiome, which plays an essential role in digestion, metabolism, immune function, inflammation, and inter-organ communication throughout the body. In this quickie episode of the Everyone Dies podcast, we dive into how fiber-rich foods and resistant starch nourish beneficial gut bacteria—and why ultra-processed foods may have the opposite effect. You'll learn why calories from whole foods are handled differently than calories from highly processed foods, how short-chain fatty acids support metabolic health, and practical ways to include more microbiome-friendly foods in your daily meals.

This week we talk about cyclospora, FoodNet, and Taylor Farms.We also discuss iceberg lettuce, Taco Bell, and foodborne pathogens.Recommended Book: Babel by R.F. KuangTranscriptFoodborne pathogens cause about 48 million illnesses and around 3000 deaths in the US alone each year.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the main agency tasked with keeping those numbers as low as possible, and the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, or FoodNet, is one way that they've tackled this pernicious, persistent problem since 1995, in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture, and 10 state health departments: those of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee.Collectively, this FoodNet network covers about 16% of the US population, which seems like a small number, and in some ways it is, but that grid of laboratories and surveillance sites has typically been capable of detecting foodborne problems before they've scaled-up into something more significant, growing from a localized issue into a nationwide outbreak. They're generally not capable of preventing them outright, but they can keep them relatively small and regionalized.FoodNet was created in response to a series of huge, deadly E. coli outbreaks in 1992 and 1993, and in contrast to other common methods of detection, which are usually passive and thus a little slow to respond to potential outbreak indicators, this program was built around active surveillance methods, which means proactively gathering data from medical treatment records, hospitalizations, and even individual patient outcomes (including their travel history)—anything they can pair with diagnostic samples to better understand the context surrounding the products that contain dangerous pathogens—and this was intended to help them move faster to identify issues, triangulate the source of those issues, and then implement measures to solve these issues before they harm a bunch of people, as happened during another round of E. coli outbreaks in 2012 and 2013, which sickened dozens of people across multiple states, about half of the afflicted requiring hospitalization, in addition to at least one known death.At its height, FoodNet tracked 9 pathogens, so it cast a pretty broad net, encompassing the most common and dangerous of these potential vectors, including listeria, campylobacter, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, cyclospora, cryptosporidium, e coli, and salmonella.In July of 2025, as part of a larger wave of sweeping cuts across the nation's safety nets, tracking systems, and scientific agencies, the CDC, under the second Trump administration, downgraded FoodNet so that it was only mandatory to track salmonella and E coli—the rest were no longer on the docket, because these agencies no longer had the budget to keep tracking them.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent, and as of the day I'm recording this ongoing, outbreak of cyclospora-induced cyclosporiasis, what we know about this outbreak, and what might happen next.—Cyclospora cayetanensis is a protozoan that can infect human beings, and which is usually transmitted via contaminated fruits and vegetables. This contamination is typically the consequence of inadequate sanitation standards, as it's not transmitted via coughing or blood or anything like that, it's carried via human feces.So this parasite gets into a human, sporulates, which means it releases a bunch of spores within its host, and then usually between 1 and 2 weeks after entering its new host, the host develops cyclosporiasis, the disease caused by cyclospora producing all those spores. This disease is notorious for sometimes causing what's colorfully called explosive diarrhea, alongside general watery bowel movements, intense cramping and severe gas and bloating, and that's sometimes paired with nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration, due to all the frequent, intense, watery bowel-movement-related output.This is how cyclospora reproduces and spreads: it infects a host, that host has urgent diarrhea for a while, usually more than two days, sometimes as long as several weeks or even a month or more, with all the pain and discomfort and life-disrupting issues you might assume from that sort of persistent symptom, and then it sometimes finds new hosts via that watery output.Sometimes, cyclospora works its way into food systems because sanitation standards at a particular farm will be not good. Specifically, workers will sometimes not be allowed to take restroom breaks, and they'll simply do their business right there in the field; so if they're sick and can't afford to take a sick day, and might be fired if they do, or if they're asymptomatic, which some people infected with cyclospora are, they might do their business in the field, unaware that waste can then go on to spread this pathogen into the food system. It's also possible that someone just doesn't wash their hands properly after using the rest room, and then gets back to work, picking vegetables or operating at some other level along the food processing and packaging assembly line, and it gets into the system that way.In a typical year, the United States records around 2,700 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis, though on occasion it's as low as just a few hundred cases, the majority of which show up in health records in the Spring and Summer, between May and August. That range includes relatively mild outbreaks, so while this is a persistent issue, it's also not generally a massive one, at least compared to other pathogens of note. It's not pleasant for those who come down with it, of course, but not something that has triggered an organized response from the top, because of its meager scale, and because (again, while super unpleasant) people with healthy immune systems generally recover without treatment, even if that recovery can take a while. The biggest risk for most people who catch this disease is dehydration, though immunocompromised people are also sometimes given antibiotics by their doctors, the typical dosage curing about 96% of the people who receive it.There was a larger-than-usual outbreak of cyclosporiasis in the US in 2020, which caused a confirmed 1,241 cases across the country, a whole lot to land all at once, and there were no reported deaths resulting from that outbreak. Between 2018 and 2021, there were about 6,000 total confirmed cases across the US, so an average of about 2000 per year.As of mid-July 2026, the CDC has officially confirmed 1,645 cases of this illness, with another 5,100 probable or potential cases currently under investigation. If the majority of those still-under-investigation cases are confirmed, that would mean more people have already been infected as a result of this one outbreak in the first half of 2026 than were infected between 2018 and 2021, which again, is a range that includes the large outbreak that happened in 2020.Also worth noting about those numbers: that's federal-level, CDC reporting, and it's generally understood that there's a significant lag between local-level data and those that have percolated up to the national level. As of the day I'm recording this, Michigan's health agencies alone have more than 5,000 confirmed and suspected cases, Ohio has nearly 1,200, and other states, which are still investigating, are seeing dozens of confirmed cases, including 43 in Wisconsin, 69 in Maryland, and a few already, in the early stages of investigation, in Nevada.Over the past week, officials flagged shredded lettuce sourced from Mexico and sold by a company called Taylor Farms as the likely source of at least some of these cases, and that's led to a recall on lettuce produced by the company in 27 states. Over the weekend, the CDC found cyclospora in iceberg lettuce from the company's Mexican operations, as well, and this lettuce was part of a batch that wasn't included in the recall—so there's a good chance the recall will expand beyond the currently targeted products, which include shredded lettuce destined for Taco Bell locations in five states, and the kitchens of several other fast food chains, as well.Taylor Farms is one of the largest producers of fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States, and their products are sold all over the place, from lower-end fast food restaurants to more expensive grocery stores like Whole Foods.Taylor Foods has announced that it's voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from shelves, even though none of its branded, in-store salad kits have been clearly tied to the outbreak, and Taco Bell has said that it's voluntarily removing all potentially affected lettuce from its locations in the five most-impacted states, indefinitely removing lettuce sourced from the implicated supplier; other brands are following suit, no one wanting to be associated with this outbreak, but everyone wanting to show would-be customers that they're taking it seriously.Interestingly, the FDA doesn't actually require that Taylor Foods tell the public who their products go to—which other entities might be selling infected produce. So they've released lists of product numbers, and again, many of their customers are taking the initiative to announce the removal of this lettuce from their shelves or food, without being prompted, but there's still some fog-of-war here, because of Taylor Foods' decision not to be clearer with that product list.So this is already the largest recorded cyclospora outbreak in US history, there have been 141 confirmed hospitalizations from the CDC, and that number is likely larger, again because it takes a while for state-level numbers to work their way up to the CDC, and to be reconfirmed at that level. Also important to note here is that a lot, perhaps even the majority of people who suffer from cyclosporiasis will never show up in these data, because they just suffer silently, either not realizing they have this parasite, or not seeing the point of going to the hospital, maybe paying an arm and a leg to do so, just to get prescribed anti-diarrheal medication and told to take fluids, same as they can do at home. People who do have any kind of immunodeficiency issues or potentially confounding factors, like being older or very young, are being encouraged to seek medical help, though, as they're more likely to suffer more serious consequences after contracting this disease.It's currently unclear where precisely this outbreak came from, and it's puzzling how an outbreak of this scale might have happened, as, in the words of Matthew Moore, a food safety microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who was quoted in the New York Times, this many infections suggest there was a “massive degree of human fecal contamination.” So probably not just a farm laborer who forgot to wash their hands after using the rest room, something much more substantial than that.Also, because cyclospora takes a while, a week or two, to create enough spores in its host to trigger cyclosporiasis, attribution of the infection difficult, which in turn makes tracking it back to its source difficult; which is part of why this outbreak, which has been going on for weeks, is still under investigation, not a solved problem with definitive answers and in-practice solutions.Right now, experts are recommending higher-risk foods are cooked to at least 158 degrees F, because that temperature kills this pathogen, and washing fresh produce doesn't always get rid of all the cyclospora on a contaminated piece of produce. Washing fresh produce certainly helps, and it's better than nothing, and scrubbing is even better. They also recommend avoiding high-risk foods when possible, though of course that won't always be possible for everyone, nor will it always be possible to get heads of lettuce rather than pre-made salads, though that's also advised when feasible.Also worth noting here is that even if the FoodNet program was still up to full power, tracking all 9 of those original pathogens, it's unlikely this outbreak would have been prevented.It likely would have flagged that something was up earlier on in this outbreak, though, which could have led to faster action in the afflicted regions. It probably would have allowed professionals to note hot spots faster, as well, which is what this kind of surveillance system is for: it doesn't prevent, but it does make it more likely experts will have the chance to keep things from spiraling out of control.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/well/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce-taco-bell.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/well/eat/cyclospora-stomach-bug-what-to-know.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/business/cyclospora-taylor-farms-lettuce.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/well/eat/lettuce-safety-cyclospora-outbreak.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/health/cyclospora-taylor-farms-mexico-taco-bell-lettuce.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclosporiasishttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8471761/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00494755261437456https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/16/diarrhea-outbreak-cyclospora-parasite-cdchttps://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.htmlhttps://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/expert-qa/cyclosporiasis-outbreakhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/07/17/taco-bell-warned-investors-about-cyclospora-before-the-outbreak-and-these-other-chains-did-too/https://www.today.com/health/disease/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-foods-avoid-map-cases-parasite-diarrhea-2026-rcna588006http://cnn.com/2026/07/18/health/cyclospora-what-to-do-wellnesshttps://www.statnews.com/2025/12/22/american-food-safety-funding-cuts-foodnet/https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-disease/cdc-cuts-back-foodborne-illness-surveillance-programhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-quietly-scaled-back-surveillance-program-foodborne-illnesses-rcna227089https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(25)00305-X/fulltexthttps://www.cdc.gov/foodnet/about/index.htmlhttps://www.food-safety.com/articles/10646-cdc-slashes-foodnet-surveillance-from-eight-foodborne-pathogens-to-twohttps://www.thermofisher.com/blog/food/foodnet-active-surveillance-for-food-safety/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/health/taylor-farms-iceberg-lettuce-recall.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/cyclospora-lettuce-recall-taylor-farms-taco-bell-8c8bb30fbd100e0c246cffeff6983753 This is a public episode.

Dr. Phil Narini spent decades hunting, fishing, and eating meat-centric Italian home cooking before a single lecture on fish and mercury changed his and his wife's eating habits overnight — no cravings, no willpower. Fifteen years later, he's a reconstructive plastic surgeon who insists he's not a nutrition expert (and thinks you should be suspicious of anyone who claims to be), co-founder of a whole-food plant-based café built on the idea that healthy food has to taste good first, and an outspoken advocate for scientific skepticism over Instagram influencers. We get into the "trifecta" most doctors won't connect to diet, why medical school teaches close to zero nutrition, what a trip to Sardinia's Blue Zone actually taught him about longevity, and why he'd rather trust someone with fifty years of grey hair than a six-pack and a supplement code.

A wealthy New York writer admits to shoplifting from Whole Foods — and says everyone else should try it too. Dr. Phil breaks down the trend some are calling "microlooting," where privileged, high-earning Americans reportedly justify stealing from big corporations as a form of protest.The backlash started with a New York Times podcast, where writer Jia Tolentino — who reportedly owns a $2.5 million Brooklyn brownstone — admitted to shoplifting from Whole Foods "on several occasions," saying she didn't feel bad about it and telling listeners to "try it, see what happens." Political commentator Hasan Piker echoed the sentiment, arguing stores already factor theft into their profit margins. Dr. Phil breaks down why this logic doesn't just hurt corporations — it hurts workers, drives up prices, and coincides with what's being called the 2025 "retail apocalypse," with reports of over 8,100 stores closing nationwide. According to industry estimates, retailers lose $45–50 billion a year to shoplifting alone, and total retail shrink has reportedly topped $112 billion annually. Self-checkout theft is said to be up sharply too, with a reported 36 million Americans admitting to stealing from kiosks — including an estimated 40% of six-figure earners. This is the real story behind "just a few lemons."

You've probably seen Sara post about how she's obsessed with eating a specific brand of cookie dough. Today the founder and CEO of Doughy, Kelly Ramey, joins Oversubscribed to talk about her creation. The clean, six-ingredient cookie dough sold out at Erewhon within days of launch and you can now find Doughy in Whole Foods, Target, and Costco nationwide.Millions of pounds of cookie dough are sold each year but here's the incredible part: Kelly is still the only full-time employee.We get into how scrappy events and a manufacturing background prepared her for the chaos of building a food brand, why hundreds of failed recipes led her to cashews as the base ingredient, and the surprising origin story of the chocolate chip cookie itself. Kelly walks us through sourcing cashews from a farmer in Mozambique and maple syrup from Vermont, why she still hands out samples herself, and what it actually took to land the product in 2,300 stores nationwide. If you've ever wondered what it means to "bleed" for your company, this is it.// MORE FROM DOUGHY //You can purchase Doughy at eatdoughy.com or at Whole Food, Target, Erewhon, and Costco.Follow @eatdoughy on Instagram and @doughy on TikTok.// SPONSORS // Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual dot com slash FOSTER.

Key TakeawaysBig anchors (Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out, Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, Bass Pro, etc.) spend millions on site selection; small investors can “ride their wave” by buying/ building nearby instead of guessing.Don't rely only on listed deals (Krexie, LoopNet), gut feel, or trailing comps; look forward to where development, permits, rooftops, and city plans (like Nashville Next) are headed.Anchors study traffic counts and speed, AM/PM side of the road, daytime population, growth trajectory, access (right-in/right-out, signals), and co‑tenancy—these same factors should guide your decisions.Case studies (Dickerson Pike, Rivergate Mall) show how land near future anchors can double in value within a few years once major campuses, stadiums, or redevelopments are announced.There is typically an 18–24 month opportunity window between anchor announcement and opening where pricing hasn't fully caught up—ideal time for most investors to buy nearby.Four main anchor types: QSR scouts, value big box, destination anchors, and redevelopment anchors; all can “make” a corridor and create demand for surrounding strip centers, pads, flex, and services.Watch for hard signals: actual closings and public incentives (TIFs, grants, PILOTs) that confirm big capital is committed to an area.Core principle: anchors don't just find good corners anymore; they create them—your job is to own real estate next door when they do.

This morning a nutrition client texted Krysta to celebrate a win — not a number on the scale, but a Reel that took off in 20 minutes. That tiny moment is personal brand at work: when people feel who you are, they attach to everything you're about, not just what you're selling. In this third installment of the accidental July personal-brand series, Krysta goes a layer deeper on the one question that changes everything — what do you want to be known for? In this episode we dive into:• The difference between being visible and being recognizable• Why reputation is built through repetition (and why you're not repeating enough)• The house-and-doors metaphor that lets you talk about more than one thing• How to drill past the category to the association people actually rememberVisible vs. Recognizable• Posting more isn't the fix — plenty of people are visible and still completely forgettable• "What should I post?" comes with frustrated, behind, 37-minutes-into-a-doom-scroll energy• "What do I want to be known for?" gives that same post a reason and a job• Recognizable means people know what you stand for even when your topics changeReputation Is Built Through Repetition• Most people aren't close to repeating themselves enough — you get bored long before your audience does• That post you agonized over? They half-saw it once, in line at Whole Foods, mid-notification• Repeat the point of view, not the exact words — through different stories, examples, and client moments• The house metaphor: your topics are doors (entryways into your world), and your through line is the roof that makes every room belongGo One Layer Deeper Than the Category• "I want to be known for fitness" is a category, not a reputation• Push further: which kind, for whom, solving what specific problem, with what point of view• Krysta's example — not "fitness," but the coach who helps busy women stop putting everyone else first• This is identity work: what you want to be known for in your work, your body, your relationships, and your own headThis conversation reminds us that being known for something is bigger than your public reputation — it's your private identity too. Whether you're a founder tired of reinventing the wheel every single caption or someone who just wants to feel like themselves again online, this episode offers the reframe (and the permission) to stop chasing visibility and start building recognition.This Week's Exercise: Write "I want to be known for…" at the top of a note. Don't stop at the category. Keep pushing — for whom, solving what, with what point of view — until the answer is specific enough to actually repeat.FYX Tip of the Week: Pick one thing you want to be known for, then pick the proof. If it's "someone who follows through," don't just commit to three workouts — schedule them as protected time. Choose the identity, then choose the behavior that earns it.No Such Thing of the Week: There is no such thing as being known for something you only share once in a while. Reputation requires repetition — and if you only talk about it when you're selling, that's what people will remember you for.Want to workshop yours?

On today's episode, we welcome Katina Mountanos, Founder and CEO of Kosterina — a modern Mediterranean wellness brand built around high-antioxidant, early-harvest extra virgin olive oil. Kosterina is what happens when someone is searching for something better, so they decide to create it. Katina grew up with olive oil as part of everyday life, but later realized that much of what was sold in the U.S. lacked the quality, freshness, and health benefits consumers expected. That discovery became her why: to make truly great olive oil more accessible and help people live longer, healthier, and more delicious lives. In this episode, Katina shares what most consumers still don't understand about olive oil, why she built Kosterina as a wellness brand, how she scaled into retailers like Whole Foods and Target, and what it takes to turn a timeless ingredient into a modern lifestyle company.

"Everyone gets cancer five times a day — your body already knows how to take care of it." Sam Bertram is the co-founder and CEO of OnePointOne, the vertical-farming company behind the Willo brand. With his brother John (CTO), Sam is building fully automated indoor farms — powered by AutoStore robotics, AI, and precision LED light — that grow nutrient-dense produce in about 15 days, with no soil and no sunlight. But the vision goes far beyond salad: using plants as living factories to manufacture pharmaceutical-grade molecules (like monoclonal antibodies) at a fraction of today's cost, and eventually "closing the loop" on human nutrition — food grown to your own blood work. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/yout...

Send us Fan MailJillian Salinas, founder of Beach City Coffee, joins Badass Women in Business to share how a backyard roasting hobby became a national retail brand rooted in community, sustainability, and resilience. Her story offers a grounded look at what it takes to rebuild after disruption, enter major retail without a clear roadmap, and grow without abandoning the values that made people care in the first place.Show NotesThe Strategic Focus:This conversation explores the long game of building a values-led consumer brand, where staying power comes not from chasing every opportunity, but from staying deeply connected to community, moving quickly when the market shifts, and making operational choices that reflect the company's original purpose.Key Takeaways:Community can become a strategic advantage. Jillian's growth was not built only on product quality, but on relationships, trust, and a brand story people could believe in.Resilience often means rebuilding before you feel ready. When Beach City Coffee's original revenue stream disappeared during the pandemic, Jillian had to pivot quickly and pursue retail growth without a perfect roadmap.Sustainability has to survive scale. Beach City Coffee's compostable, PFAS-free packaging reflects Jillian's belief that environmental responsibility should be built into the business model, not added later as a marketing layer.Purpose-driven growth requires discipline. As the brand expanded into major retailers, including Whole Foods, Walmart, Kroger, Ralphs, Frys, and King Soopers, Jillian stayed focused on protecting the principles that shaped the company from the beginning.Guest Contact & ConnectJillian Salinas is the founder of Beach City Coffee, a Redondo Beach-based coffee brand that grew from small-batch roasting into a national retail presence while championing compostable packaging, community, and ocean-conscious business practices.Connect with Beach City Coffee:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFacebookTikTokTo connect with more women building bold, values-led businesses, join the proveHER community and read the companion blogcast.---Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, drop us a review, share it with a badass woman in your life, and subscribe to Badass Women in Business wherever you get your podcasts.Stay badass.

One family recipe has grown into one of the fastest-rising brands in ready-to-drink cocktails. Inspired by her mother's gin, lemonade, and mint summer cooler, Meredith Mills-Merritt founded The Original Southside with a vision to bring premium ingredients, elevated branding, and transparency to a category that had long prioritized convenience over craftsmanship. Leveraging her background in prestige beauty, she obsessed over every detail—from developing a proprietary gin to creating a cocktail that's certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, and 10% ABV. That attention to detail has fueled remarkable growth. Since launching in 2024, Southside has expanded into more than 20 markets, landed on shelves at Whole Foods and Total Wine, increased shipments by more than 370%, and continues its national expansion through Meijer, Rouses, and more than 90 additional Whole Foods locations. Beyond the product itself, Meredith is reshaping conversations around alcohol transparency as co-founder of the Clean Alcohol Collective, advocating for clearer ingredient standards across the industry.

Krishna Kaliannan wanted to start a tech company but failed at every attempt. On the side, he was teaching himself how to cook with high-protein, low-sugar ingredients. Not just out of interest, but out of necessity. As a teenager, Krishna had been diagnosed with diabetes and epilepsy, meaning he adopted a keto diet long before it was trendy. Krishna's home experiments with pea powder and monk fruit eventually became Catalina Crunch, one of the country's most popular high-protein, low-carb breakfast cereals and snacks. In this episode, Krishna shares how a life-changing health condition sparked an obsession with healthy baking— and a brand that reimagined snacking.What You'll LearnHow to turn a health challenge into a business opportunity The art and science of baking with esoteric ingredientsWhen to trust partners and when it's best to take charge yourselfWhy the DTC model is great for some industries and disastrous for othersTimestamps:00:06:16 - Dealing with diabetes and epilepsy as a college student00:12:38 - What Krishna learns from his early failures in tech00:22:43 - The first, low-sugar cocoa puffs: “Rocks that tasted like soil.” 00:27:36 - His homemade cereal gets good enough to sell00:32:42 - Naming the brand: classy alliteration and a nod to a Will Ferrell movie 00:44:51 - Learning to make cereal like the pros at Texas A&M00:54:43 - Krishna moves from NYC to Indiana to make sure the cereal is made right01:01:04 - Whole Foods, Costco, and becoming a household brandThis episode was researched and produced by Chris Maccini with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.
