Dietary Guidelines for Americans: Clearing Confusion & Controversy

Powered by RedCircle

Are the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans actually helping us eat better — or leaving us more confused than ever? In this episode of Go With Your Gut, we take a thoughtful look at the newly released guidelines and the inverted food pyramid that’s stirring up questions. I walk through what these recommendations get right, where they fall short, and why so much of the messaging still misses the mark when it comes to gut health, vegetables, and ultra-processed foods. We explore the ongoing push for dairy, the lack of clarity around portions, and the bigger influences shaping our food system — from farming practices to school lunches. Because real clarity doesn’t come from a graphic or a guideline alone. It comes from understanding how food affects our gut, our families, and our long-term health.
