The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans: It's a Mixed Bag

The USDA and HHS just released new Dietary Guidelines for Americans. We dig into the new guidelines with Dr. Leigh Frame, our favorite nutrition scientist, co-host of the pod, and co-director of the Frame-Corr Lab here at George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. An Associate Professor in the departments of Clinical Research & Leadership and Physician Assistant Studies, Leigh combines nutrition and immunity through translational research, leveraging extensive experience in biomedical research and education. Dr. Frame earned her PhD in Human Nutrition and MHS in Immunology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and graduated with Distinction in Biochemistry from Mary Baldwin College. An expert on Integrative Medicine and the gut microbiome, she’s also the Executive Director of the GW Office of Integrative Medicine & Health. ◘ Related Links: New Food Guidelines for Americans, https://realfood.gov/; Harvard Healthy Eating Plate, https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/healthy-eating-plate/; Dr. Frame's Nutrition Guide, https://rwc.smhs.gwu.edu/nutrition-guide; Canada's Food Guide, https://food-guide.canada.ca/en/ ◘ Transcript bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.
