82. Your Food Is Designed to Be Addictive (Here's Proof)

"You're really eating DEAD food, and the body wants real nutrition food that it recognizes." If you've ever made a New Year's resolution to eat healthier only to fail by February... if you've ever felt like healthy food is too expensive, too hard, or too restrictive... this episode changes everything. Dr. Terri sits down with Deborah (owner of a local farm-to-table restaurant in DFW) for one of the most practical and eye-opening conversations about food you'll ever hear. From Dr. Terri's insider experience with RFK Jr.'s transition team in DC to the truth about why you can't stop eating certain foods - this isn't your typical "eat more vegetables" advice. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why the chemicals in processed food are designed to be ADDICTIVE (and how to break free) → The truth about "healthy" protein bars (spoiler: they're almost always made with seed oils) → Why you eat an entire bag of regular chips but feel satisfied after a handful of the RIGHT chips → What Dr. Terri learned working with Bobby Kennedy's team on food industry reform → The new dietary guidelines coming out (they're flipping the pyramid on its head) → How to keep your favorite crunchy, salty, sweet foods while actually getting healthier → Why so much of what we eat is completely subconscious (hand to mouth without thinking) → The simple "shop the perimeter" strategy that changes everything THE TOP 3 CHANGES TO MAKE RIGHT NOW: 1. Switch to Whole Foods (it's simpler than you think) 2. Skip the Seed Oils (this alone will transform your health) 3.
