14. A New Way of Eating: Nutrient Density (with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD)
Manage episode 420559608 series 3554524
This week I welcomed Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD on my show to talk about the power of nutrient density through the lens of her new book, Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat. Nutrivore is the revolutionary yet simple dietary concept: get all the nutrients our bodies need from the foods we eat. To Dr. Sarah, Nutrivore represents a completely new way to think about foods. Instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad”, Nutrivore looks at the overall quality of the whole diet.
In our conversation, we explore the fascinating Nutrivore scores and how they serve as a compass for optimizing our food choices and meal planning. Dr. Sarah shares insights from her transition from medical research to health advocacy, underlining the importance of nutrient density, debunking dietary myths, and proposing a balanced, informed way of living. Additionally, she unveils a surprising, evidence-based update on mercury levels in tuna and Atlantic salmon.
Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD is the founder of Nutrivore.com and New York Times best-selling author of Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat, which was released on May 14th. Grounded in scientific rigor and free from rigid dogma, Nutrivore prioritizes nourishment over judgment, making it accessible to all.
