We live in a world abundant with food, yet many of us face the paradox of being overfed but undernourished. In this episode, we dive into the complexities of nutrition, emphasizing that relying solely on food may not always meet our dietary needs. Modern agricultural practices often lead to nutrient-depleted crops and animal products, leaving us with significant nutritional gaps. Add to this the rise of ultra-processed foods and changing lifestyles that increase our nutritional demands, and it becomes clear why supplementation plays a crucial role in achieving optimal health. Throughout the season, we’ll explore the importance of supplements alongside a food-first approach, sharing insights into how we can better support our bodies in today's challenging dietary landscape.

Takeaways:

  • The modern food environment leads to being overfed but undernourished, impacting our health.
  • Crops today lack essential nutrients due to poor agricultural practices and monocropping.
  • Even if we eat whole foods, the nutrients may not be present in our food.
  • Supplementation can fill the nutrient gaps caused by modern diets and lifestyles.
  • Changing your diet takes time; it may take years to fully replenish nutrient deficiencies.
  • Generational dietary changes have led to a gradual decline in health over time.
