What are Ultra Processed Foods (UPF): Maester Chris Van Tulleken Insights
Feb 29, 2024 Episode 95
Fina Perez

In this episode, I dive into the complex world of Ultra Processed Foods (UPF) and unpack it for you, prompted by research on diabetes and health concerns and drawing inspiration from the insightful vlog of Susan Pierce Thompson, I embark on unraveling the complex concept of UPF with the guidance of the Maeser Dr. Chris Van Tulleken, affectionately dubbed as "Maester Chris" for his expertise. Dr. Van Tulleken's perspective on UPF is enlightening, emphasizing the effects of UPF on our health while debunking misconceptions and offering powerful insights.

 

Through Dr. Van Tulleken's teachings, we explore the profound impact of UPF on our bodies, from its influence on neurotransmitters to its role in driving chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. Amidst the seriousness of the topic, I want us to have fun and with a lighthearted approach, I highlight strategies for navigating the UPF-laden modern food landscape. Ultimately, the episode focuses on the importance of informed decision-making, with a reminder to keep judgment at bay and our focus firmly on our plates. With Dr. Van Tulleken's wisdom as our guide, we embark on a journey towards healthier choices and a deeper understanding of the foods we consume.
