Ultraprocessed Diet: 300+ Expert Talks
About Ultraprocessed Diet
Ultraprocessed food is a big part of most diets, and many people come to DrTalks wondering how much it's behind how they feel. Cravings that never let up, weight gain, poor sleep, bloating, and diagnoses like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver or high blood pressure are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past calories. What's on your plate affects your blood sugar, your gut bacteria, inflammation, your mood and your brain and heart health. You'll find conversations on why processed foods can be so addictive, how fake food affects kids' gut and immunity, fiber and the microbiome, and how the food system shapes what we eat. Doctors, dietitians and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers to continuous glucose monitoring, and what helps, from whole foods and better sourcing to fiber, protein, cooking at home and more movement.
