Episode 8: What is Healthier? Lucky Charms or Steak?
Jan 23, 2023 Season 8
Dr. Brady and Kim Wirick

On today’s podcast, we tackle this tricky topic of the government making claims that Lucky Charms are actually better for you than actual steak. We talk about where this flawed thinking comes from and why it is being propagated.


Why does this matter? It matters because these “studies” are what drive government funding for school nutrition programs, hospital cafeterias, nursing homes, etc. If we are going to fix healthcare, it has to start with fixing nutrition.


Below are some of the links that we reference. We hope you enjoy and share this episode.
