11: Shifting Perspectives: Food vs. Food-Like Substances


Listen Later

This episode was inspired by the book, Ultra Processed People.

I discuss the following topics:

- Introduction to the book "Ultra Processed People" 

- Inspiring story of four indigenous children surviving in the Amazon jungle, showcasing their deep understanding of local foods and reliance on natural instincts

- Questioning the need to outsource our food choices to governments and regulatory systems

- Exploring the limitations of nutrition profiling systems and the disconnect between processed foods and our bodies' recognition of them

- Discussing Clara Davis' influential study, which debunked the idea of a one-size-fits-all healthy diet and shed light on the role of external influences on children's eating habits. Get that study HERE

- Practical tips for parents, including serving children the same meals as adults and involving them in the meal preparation process

- Highlighting the importance of creating a supportive environment where children can trust their hunger cues and gradually expand their food preferences through repeated exposure

- Emphasizing the significance of reconnecting with real, nutrient-rich foods and trusting our instincts in making informed food choices for ourselves and our families.
