48. Breaking Down Ultra-Processed Foods with Haley Scheich


Listen Later

This episode is for you if you feel overwhelmed by all the nutrition information out there for you and your family. Artificial dyes, high fructose corn syrup, seed oils and natural flavors. Most of us know we should be avoiding these inflammatory additives but let’s face it, sometimes you read these ingredients and your head is spinning!

Our guest today is Haley Scheich, the cofounder of My Super Hero Foods, a wellness brand that teaches families about the powers of real foods and the importance of what we put in our bodies. She’s a working mama of 3 kids and 3 step kids, ages 3 to 18 and married to Dr. Tarek Pacha, her best friend and co-founder.

We learn:

  • Seed oils such as soybean and canola oils (and even sunflower and safflower oils!) are highly processed and pro-inflammatory causing metabolic dysfunction and other health issues

  • How to read food labels and identify the source of ingredients

  • The difference between processed and ultra-processed foods

  • Easy tips for busy parents wanting to improve their families’ nutrition

  • How to eliminate or reduce the consumption of artificial ingredients such as dyes and high fructose corn syrup to improve kids’ health

  • To shop at local farmers’ markets for fresh quality produce

  • Why natural flavors are anything but natural and hijack kids’ tastebuds

  • How spending time outdoors improves kids’ physical and mental health
