Episode notes
Whole Foods
- Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods over ultra-processed foods.
- Eat like your ancestors, not your algorithms, to improve your health.
Ultra-Processed Food Consumption
- Ultra-processed foods are designed to be overconsumed, even if you maintain a healthy weight.
- The combination of softness, energy density, and deceptive signals leads to excessive calorie intake.
Picky Eating and Mental Health
- Restrictive eating habits are associated with different brain structure and blood markers.
- These may increase vulnerability to anxiety and depression, but it's not a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
