In this foundational episode of The Starting Gate, we’re simplifying good nutrition to help you confidently navigate the often-confusing world of food labels and ingredients. We kick things off by defining ultra-processed foods—what they are, why they’re so common, and how to cut back on them in favor of whole, nutrient-rich options. You’ll learn how to read nutrition labels like a pro, sidestep misleading marketing claims, and focus on essentials like boosting fiber, reducing added sugars, and understanding the difference between good and bad fats.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to make informed choices at the grocery store, armed with practical tips for building a healthier, balanced plate. Tune in and take charge of your nutrition, one label at a time!

This episode ended up being packed with valuable information, so we split it into two parts.
In Part 1, we dive into what defines processed foods, how to interpret ingredient lists and daily values, and explore sodium in more detail than you ever thought you’d need.
In Part 2, we take a closer look at added sugars and break down the macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
