"Healthy" Foods Are Fooling Us: How An FFL Instructor Is Fighting Back

The biggest and healthiest changes in your community can begin with one person. Lyn Grady is a Food For Life instructor with the Physicians Committee who is helping people understand food as medicine, one class at a time. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Lyn joins Chuck Carroll to talk about why so many people are confused by food labels, why "healthy" marketing can be so misleading, and how Food For Life classes help people build confidence in the kitchen. She shares stories from her classes, including the moment someone worried about the sugar in fruit after eating coffee cake, and an athlete who thought he was drinking a healthy aloe juice until Lyn showed him the label said zero percent juice. This conversation is about more than food. It is about community, education, generational health, and becoming the person who helps others take their first step toward a healthier life. Applications are now open for the Fall 2026 Food For Life instructor training. 🧠 In this episode:

Why Food For Life is not a diet
How "healthy" labels can mislead shoppers
Why fruit is not the same as cake
How cooking classes build community
Why Food For Life instructors can create generational health
What the instructor training is like
How to apply to become an instructor
