We all carry frameworks that shape how we see the world but what happens when those frameworks turn into limits? This minisode of Ray on Health and Culture dives into the 'limited mentality' and why challenging it matters. Listen in and rethink with me.

Back stronger in mid-2025 ✨

In this minisode, I break down how social webs and social capital shape success, opportunity, and even our health. From travel to politics, I’m showing why building the right connections isn’t just networking: it’s life leverage. Ray on Health and Culture is still here, still dropping theory with practice to help you live sharper, healthier, and more intentional.

Are all processed foods bad? Not quite. In this episode, we break down the differences between processed, ultra-processed, and unprocessed foods—because the truth is more nuanced than social media trends suggest.

We also dive into the dangers of following health trends and self-proclaimed experts who push misinformation. From ultra-processed additives that pose real health risks to the growing intolerance of food processing methods that are actually beneficial—like freezing for nutrient preservation—we explore how misinformation can lead to poor health choices.

Balance is key. Eliminating certain highly processed foods can reduce health risks, but not all processing is detrimental. Tune in to learn how to navigate ingredient labels, use tools like Yuka, and make choices that support your health goals without falling for trend-driven fear-mongering.
