About this listen

 "We’ve been conditioned to fear our food, but the 'health halo' is the biggest deception of all." Caroline Susie is not your average dietitian. From the Today Show to the boardrooms of the world’s largest corporations, she has become one of the most influential voices in nutrition. But her message is often met with shock: she believes "all foods fit" and that much of what we’ve been told about "fake food" and organic labels is marketing, not science. In this raw and wide-ranging conversation, Caroline sits down with Laurie McGraw to dismantle the myths that keep us stressed at the grocery store. She addresses why "conventionally grown" produce is safer than you think and why the "health halo" around organic products might be emptying your wallet without improving your health. Beyond the plate, Caroline reveals the high-stakes world of corporate health consulting at Mercer. She breaks down the "miracle" GLP-1 weight-loss drugs—balancing the clinical life-changing benefits with the cold, hard economics of a $1,000-a-month habit that most people are destined to fail. We discuss: The Strawberry Myth: Why you could eat 650 servings and still be safe. The "Fake Food" Trap: Why she chooses real butter and real cheese over "healthy" alternatives. The GLP-1 Crisis: Why the weight comes back faster—and worse—once you stop. Doing Nothing is Disruption: The bold leadership move required to save the healthcare system. Leaving a Toxic Boss: How a "hard pass" turned into a decade-long career transformation. This is a masterclass in nutrition, corporate strategy, and the courage to speak the truth in an industry built on confusion.
