  • Make American Healthy...Again?
    Nov 15 2024

    The slogan Make America Healthy Again has picked up some traction recently and I love that people are thinking more about their health.

    There are some good things coming from this movement and also some not so good things and I want to talk about of them.

    So this week I brought my friend and colleague, Dr. Jessica Knurick, to discuss some of our thoughts about this #MAHA movement as nutrition professionals (we both have PhDs) with over a decade each of working in this field.

    On this episode we will discuss:

    • How exactly Americans have gotten sicker
    • The real reason why obesity and diabetes rates have skyrocketed
    • Whether food additives are destroying your health
    • The challenges with improving school lunches
    • Why conspiracy theories can spread faster than truth.
    • Actual efforts that could be useful to improve the health the American population.
    • And a lot more...

    Tune into the show to learn more.
