Fatal Conveniences: What Your Thanksgiving Plate Isn’t Telling You


Listen Later

Do you really know what’s hiding on your Thanksgiving plate? Beyond the nostalgic flavors and comforting traditions, there’s a darker side to the feast we often overlook—one that’s quietly impacting your health, the environment, and even your values. From sky-high fat and sugar levels to the chemicals and antibiotics hidden in every bite, these meals are more than indulgence; they’re a recipe for long-term damage.

In this episode of Fatal Conveniences, I take a deep dive into the science behind what makes the traditional Thanksgiving meal so problematic. We’ll explore how over-processed ingredients, excessive sodium, and factory farming practices are contributing to chronic health issues, antibiotic resistance, and environmental harm. But this isn’t about canceling Thanksgiving or shaming your traditions—it’s about awareness.

Let’s rethink Thanksgiving—not by giving up what we love, but by elevating it. If you’re ready to celebrate in a way that’s more thoughtful, healthy, and aligned with your values, this episode is for you.

I’ll guide you through easy and practical ways to reimagine your holiday menu with simple, science-backed changes that taste better and nourish your body.
