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

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
