In this episode, my guest is Dawn Sherling- A physician based in the US and author of ' Eat Everything: How to Ditch Additives and Emulsifiers, Heal Your Body, and Reclaim the Joy of Food.' We discuss Dawn's research on the zero-calorie additives and emulsifiers legally added to food and their link to gut health and inflammation. We address the difference between processed and ultra-processed food, mislabeling, the obesity pandemic in the US, and the importance of eliminating stigma and health taboos surrounding health disorders. Finally, Dawn shares three tips to incorporate daily for better gut microbiome and digestive health.
