Can We Really Make America Healthy Again?

Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s as timely as it is complex: What would it take to truly “Make America Healthy Again”? Inspired by RFK's recent initiative, this conversation unpacks the rising public awareness of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), their impact on health, and how this intersects with our national food environment.

I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. David Wiss, a leading expert in food addiction research, nutrition, and eating disorder recovery. Together, we tackle some of the big questions that health professionals and parents alike are asking:

• Are UPFs really as harmful as they’re being portrayed?
• How does the “All Foods Fit” model evolve in light of what we now know about UPFs?
• What role do systemic and legal actions, like the first major lawsuit against UPF companies, play in this conversation?

Whether you’re a dietitian, a parent, or someone just trying to make healthier choices in a world dominated by processed options, this episode offers practical takeaways and profound insights.
