The EAT-Lancet Commission recently released their updated "Planetary Health Diet" and preemptively labeled a number of health experts who pushed back as “mis-influencers.”

Dr. Georgia Ede was one of those health experts labeled and in this episode of the Metabolic Mind podcast, she joins Dr. Bret Scher to unpack the many flaws of the EAT-Lancet 2.0 report.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• The deep flaws in claiming a one-size-fits-all solution to diet and planetary health.
• EAT-Lancet’s heavy reliance on weak epidemiological data
• Its open acknowledgment of nutrient deficiencies in the EAT-Lancet diet and who is most at risk
• Why animal-sourced foods are beneficial for our health—especially for brain health
• How ideology and influence may be driving public health messaging
• Dr. Ede’s response to being labeled a “mis-influencer”

At Metabolic Mind, we believe optimal human nutrition begins with asking the right scientific questions—starting with what’s healthiest for the brain and body, then considering sustainable solutions.

Human and planetary health are too complex for one-size-fits-all solutions—and if such a diet existed, we wouldn’t uncover it through untested epidemiological guesswork.
