Concerns Over Cookware Safety and Dietary Protein Sources

Today, I welcome Dr. Heather Leidy to The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show for an in-depth conversation about the evolving landscape of nutrition science. Together, they tackle pressing topics like the future of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, the impact of protein timing, and the importance of protein quality in supporting health and mitigating frailty. Dr. Leidy highlights recent research that explores behavioral strategies for sustainable weight management, the role of animal-sourced foods in nutrient adequacy, and the effects of GLP-1 medications on diet and health outcomes.

Key Discussion Points:

• The critical role of breakfast in satiety and long-term health
• Why the food matrix matters when evaluating protein sources
• The untapped potential of family-based breakfast interventions
• Implications of GLP-1 medications on protein needs and behavioral strategies
• Addressing the nutrient gaps in plant-based diets and rethinking food waste
