For decades we were told to eat a certain way — follow the food pyramid, fear fat, load up on carbs, choose “low-fat” everything and trust that government nutrition guidelines had our best interests at heart.
But what if that entire system was built on industry lobbying, faulty science, and marketing, not health?
In this episode, I break down how the 90s food pyramid shaped a whole generation’s eating habits — and why it left millions of people overweight, confused and blaming themselves for something that was never their fault.
You’ll hear:
• How cereals, seed oils and sugar-heavy “health foods” became normal
• Why obesity and diabetes exploded right after we followed that advice
• Why you’re not struggling because of “willpower” — you were conditioned to fail
• Real client stories showing how fast your body can change once you stop eating the way you were told to
• Simple steps to start unlearning the food rules that made you sick in the first place
If you’ve ever wondered why losing weight feels harder than it should… this episode will finally make it make sense.
