| 1/9/26 |  167: My thoughts on the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans | The new Dietary Guidelines are out. Some people are celebrating “big changes,” while others are criticizing them. So in this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on what actually changed, what didn’t, and what really matters when it comes to public health. Topics discussed:What the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are (and who they’re actually for)How often the guidelines are updated and who writes themFood pyramid vs. MyPlate and why the “we flipped the pyramid” narrative is misleadingWhy guideline adherence has always been lowSaturated fat contradictions and mixed messagingAlcohol guidance being more vaguePlant protein and why deprioritizing it mattersConflicts of interest and public trustSocial determinants of health and why access matters more than slogansWhat would actually improve population health+ so much more in-between. At the end of the day.. guidelines don’t change health outcomes, but systems do.

And with that comes a whole lot of opinions about what you should be eating or drinking.Let's talk about how you can navigate the “c’mon, live a little” crowd without letting other people make decisions for you.Because what you choose to do is none of their business ..and what they choose to do is none of yours.You can enjoy the holidays, eat the foods, drink the drinks, go off your usual routine and still be healthy af.
