Decoding the New U.S. Dietary Guidelines with Simon Hill: What They Got Right, Wrong & Why It Matters

About this episode

Simon Hill discusses the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines, highlighting what they got right and wrong, and the implications of these changes.

Simon Hill is a nutritionist, physiotherapist, and host of “The Proof” podcast. We dig into the newly released U.S. Dietary Guidelines: what changed, what the evidence actually supports, and how the final document diverged from the advisory committee's recommendations. The fine print reveals a factual error a first-year nutrition student would catch, and a notable omission that raises serious questions about how these guidelines were made. Simon is a trusted guide through difficult terrain. Enjoy!
