About This Episode
Healthy Looks Great On You: Understanding Nutrition and Health
In episode 106 of the lifestyle medicine podcast ‘Healthy Looks Great On You’, Dr. Vickie Petz Kasper explains the importance of understanding nutrition for maintaining health. She talks about the confusion surrounding food advice, using eggs as an example of how advice can change over time. Dr. Kasper highlights the dangers of the Standard American Diet (S.A.D), which is high in saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, processed foods while being low in fruits and vegetables, leading to chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Dr. Kasper shares her personal journey of reversing her pre-diabetes with a healthy diet. She then explains macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The episode concludes with practical tips on cleaner eating through shopping the perimeter of grocery stores, eating at home and choosing less processed and more plant-based foods.
