You're Not What You Eat: Why Comfort Food Heals

Low-fat. Keto. Paleo. Carnivore. Blood type. Seed oils. Macros. Detoxes.

Every decade brings a new dietary gospel, but it's not correlating with improved health.

In this episode, we explore the hidden assumption underneath almost all modern nutrition advice:

"We are what we eat."

And that idea is completely wrong.

Instead of food being a mechanical input that controls us, nourishment is an experience that begins in the psyche long before digestion even starts.

So let's put down the kale smoothie and the Ozempic for a minute and talk about:

Why your personal "comfort food" changes over time
The psychology behind "junk food"
Why diets are both endless and contradictory
Prof. Eran Segal's surprising nutrition research
The relationship between psyche, digestion, and self-devaluation
"Granny Doughnut," our ancient ring-formed ancestor
Four simple principles for enjoying food and still liking yourself
