What to Actually Eat: Blue Zone Secrets, Elimination Diets & Breaking Free from Diet Culture
Confused on what to actually eat in a world full of constantly changing diet advice? The diet industry is a billion-dollar machine designed to keep you confused — and it's working. But here's what the research actually shows: the healthiest people on the planet aren't following trendy diets. They're eating whole foods, lots of plants, beans, healthy fats, and listening to their bodies.
In this episode, we break down exactly what to eat based on Blue Zone Studies and the 5,000 year old tradition of Ayurveda that tested time with its dietary advice, and how to figure out what works for you — without the noise, the marketing, or the restriction.
What you'll learn:
- How food corporations manipulate nutrition research and what that means for you
- Why the elimination diet is one of the most effective tools for understanding your body
- What people in the Blue Zones (the world's longest-living communities) eat daily
- How to break down your macros — protein, fat, carbs, and vegetables — the simple way
- The real deal on gluten, carbs, and why how you prepare food matters as much as what you eat
- Which specialized diets (keto, paleo, AIP, low-FODMAP) are actually worth trying and when
