In this episode we talk about what “healthy” really means. But before we begin, we need to explain what the definition of “healthy” is (5:03). Once we have this general understanding, we talk about those healthy foods, our hunger cues (6:29), and the benefits of eating more wholesome, minimally processed foods. We then take a deep dive into the difference between processed and unprocessed foods, as well as the different types of processed foods (13:15). It’s important to know that you cannot see foods as “good” or “bad” (15:08) but need to realize that the two have different goals. Additionally, when you hear people saying, “I don’t want to eat chemicals” (17:29), understand that this statement stems from a lack of understanding of basic chemistry. We won’t go into detail here but provide an example or two in the episode itself.

Moving forward, we have the the topic of organic (vs. non-organic) foods and which is better? First and foremost, we need to define what “better” actually means. Is it in regards to a food’s nutrient content or its beneficial impact on an individual’s health. Then to wrap things up, we explain what categorizes a certain food as organic.
