The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans are out, and if you’ve been seeing hot takes about butter, tallow, protein, alcohol, and “real food,” you’re not alone. In this episode, I break down what actually changed, what didn’t, and why so much of the internet is either celebrating or panicking.

We’ll talk about:

• What the guidelines really say about saturated fat, butter, and animal fats
• Why the alcohol recommendations quietly shifted
• The mixed messaging around protein, ultra-processed foods, and “moderation”
• Who these guidelines are actually written for—and who they’re not

As a dietitian, I’ll separate evidence from headlines and help you understand whether these guidelines are a true disaster… or just another distraction from what actually matters for your health.

Tune in for nuance, context, and a reality check you won’t get from a viral post.

Whether you're here to reconnect with your roots, find food freedom, or learn how to nourish yourself without shame — this podcast is for you.
