Episode notes

Are you aware of what’s truly in the food you eat every day? In this episode, I sit down with Courtney Swan, a real food activist and founder of Realfoodology, to expose some unsettling truths about the current state of our food system. From hidden chemicals to misleading marketing, we break down what’s really going on behind the scenes—and how it’s affecting your health.

Courtney reveals the shocking impact of common food additives and why regulatory agencies aren't doing enough to protect us. We also dive into the often-overlooked power you hold as a consumer and what steps you can take to make better choices for your body and the planet.

As the voice behind Realfoodology, Courtney has spent years educating people on clean eating and advocating for a food system overhaul. Her expertise in nutrition and commitment to real, sustainable food practices will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about your grocery store staples.
