The Inverted Food Pyramid Turns the Nutrition Guidelines Upside Down!

Today’s show is especially exciting, because we’re going to take a fresh look at the new inverted food pyramid—and what it finally gets right for a population where the majority of Americans are metabolically unwell. Thank you to Secretary Kennedy and the MAHA group dedicated to making America healthy again.  To reverse this huge increase in metabolic disease and chronic disease in general.  A change that has been long time coming and I applaud it! Loudly!

For decades, we were taught to build our diets on grains, fear protein, fear fat, and count calories—often with disappointing results. Today, we’ll talk about why that advice didn’t work for so many people, what’s changed, and how this new model brings common sense back to nutrition by prioritizing blood sugar balance, muscle, and metabolic health.

Creatine for Bones, Brain, and (oh yes) Muscle

Hello my friends, Dr. Deb here —your favorite dietitian and doctor of clinical nutrition and today we’re diving into a supplement that has been hiding in plain sight for decades. In fact, I went to a special session on it back in 1995 at the National Institute of Health in its’ new area of interest- sports nutrition. This supplement is powerful, it’s safe, it’s backed by mountains of research… and yet so many people — especially women — have no idea how beneficial it really is. Yes, indeed.  I’m talking about creatine.

Now, before you picture giant bodybuilders flexing in mirrors, let me assure you: creatine is not just a “gym bro” supplement. Creatine is for brains, bones, and bodies of every age. Creatine is for moms, dads, grandparents, and yes — even the people who say, “I’m not really a workout person.”

And get this: creatine is one of the MOST researched supplements in the world. Thousands of studies. Decades of data. And the results are consistently impressive on its results and safety.

So today we’re exploring how creatine supports both physical and cognitive health — for women and men — and especially why it matters even more as we age.
