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.
