41. Ella Davar: The Nutrition Lies That Are Keeping You Sick (Do This Instead)


Listen Later

What if everything you’ve been told about nutrition is only half the story? It’s not just about avoiding carbs, counting macros, or following the latest health trend—it’s about how food impacts your metabolism, gut, and long-term health on a deeper level. The problem? Most people are stuck in a cycle of restrictive diets, misinformation, and ultra-processed foods that silently sabotage their well-being.

In this episode, I sit down with registered dietitian and longevity expert Ella Davar to break down the science of personalized nutrition. We’ll explore why gut health is the foundation of everything from digestion to mental clarity, how glucose monitoring can help you optimize your diet, and why ultra-processed foods are doing more damage than you realize. Ella shares her journey from Wall Street to wellness and reveals how a bio-individual, data-driven approach to food can help you feel better, think clearer, and age stronger.

Ella Davar is a registered dietitian, gut health expert, and longevity advocate specializing in personalized nutrition. She is also the author of The Guide to a Euterian Diet and the founder of The Gut-Brain Method, a program designed to help people harness the power of food to improve cognitive function, energy levels, and longevity.

If you’re ready to improve your energy, digestion, and overall health, this episode is for you. Let’s get started.
