Welcome to Episode 120 of Your Ultimate Comeback with Brad and Raquel.
In this episode, we’re talking about something bigger than just a new year.
We’re entering a new era of nutrition and health.
For decades, we were told that fat was the enemy, protein should be limited, and carbohydrates should make up the bulk of our diet.
But the new food pyramid has completely flipped that model upside down.
Instead of eating like a bakery, the new guidelines suggest we should eat more like a steakhouse.
If it grows in the ground or walks on the earth, it’s probably a better choice than ultra-processed foods.
Brad and Raquel break down what this shift means and how to apply it in real life, including:
• Why protein and healthy fats are foundational for metabolic health
• The “protein and vegetables first” strategy for better blood sugar control
• Why many people are under-eating protein
• How coffee before protein in the morning impacts hormones
• Why intermittent fasting isn’t ideal for everyone
We also discuss a major development in the world of peptides. Many peptides that were previously misunderstood or restricted are now becoming more accessible through physician guidance, opening new possibilities for recovery, longevity, and metabolic health.
If you’ve ever felt confused about nutrition advice, this episode will help simplify things and give you practical strategies you can apply immediately.
This isn’t just a new year.
It’s a new era of eating and health optimization.
