The Health Upgrade Podcast 118: Sneaky Ingredients that Trigger Inflammation f. Mira Dessy
On this episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast, we are joined by Mira Dessy, known as the Ingredient Guru. Mira shares her profound personal health journey, overcoming multiple autoimmune diagnoses by radically changing her approach to food, lifestyle, and self-advocacy. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding not only what we eat, but also what’s hiding in our food—from artificial colors and MSG to ultra-processed ingredients and seed oils.
Together, we break down how our modern diet, saturated with additives, sugars, and industrialized products, is a far cry from what our bodies truly need. They demystify food labels, explain the dangers of certain "health" foods and sweeteners, and stress the importance of reading ingredients and choosing nutrient-dense meals. We also touch on lifestyle factors like sleep, mindfulness, nature, and self-care, painting a holistic picture of true wellness.
If you’re looking to upgrade your health, start by taking a closer look at what’s on your plate and in your pantry! Share this eye-opening conversation with friends and family, and take that first step towards a healthier, happier you by becoming more ingredient-aware.
