About this listen

Is the modern food pyramid making us sick?

For decades, mainstream dietary advice has warned against saturated fat while promoting heavily processed grains, seed oils, and low-fat alternatives. But a growing body of researchers and clinicians now argue that this model may be contributing to widespread metabolic disease, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalance.

In this video, we break down the new food pyramid—one that prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods and challenges long-standing nutritional myths. Experts explain why high-quality saturated fats play a crucial role in immune function and hormone production, while industrial starches, refined sugars, and seed oils are increasingly linked to insulin resistance and systemic inflammation.

We also examine:

  • How ultra-processed foods damage metabolic health
  • Why high-heat processing creates toxic byproducts like acrylamide
  • The role of natural, protective nutrients found in traditional diets
  • Why skepticism toward standardized dietary and medical guidelines is growing

Is it time to rethink everything we’ve been told about healthy eating?

Rather than chasing trends or fear-based nutrition advice, this episode encourages a return to metabolic common sense—eating foods closer to their natural state and questioning systems that profit from chronic illness.
