Keep’em Healthy with Jami Podcast
I’m Jami—a Biology Professor, health coach, and a mom who’s spent way too many hours researching the 'why' behind our kids' health. When the standard medical advice didn't cut it for my own family, I took my knowledge of anatomy and physiology and went looking for real, integrative answers. On Keep'em Healthy, I’m sharing that classroom with you. We’re digging into the science of nutrition and lifestyle medicine to explore how our kids actually heal and grow. It’s high-level health education, served up like a chat with your girlfriend. You’ve got this, and I’m here to help.

In this episode, I welcome Sam Citro Alexander to the show. Sam is all about how to make small, smarter swaps in the grocery aisle that genuinely improve health—without spending more money or cooking differently. People don’t need another diet trend, they need clarity. The FoodHealth Score lets you compare two nearly identical products—two yogurts, two cereals, two pastas—and instantly see which one supports better long-term health. It’s about tiny, doable changes that fit real life: a lunchbox swap, a better granola, a soda alternative. When you start improving the health score of your cart in small steps, you change outcomes in a big way.
Sam Citro Alexander is the co-founder and CEO of FoodHealth, the company behind the FoodHealth Score—a data tool that rates every product in the grocery store based on ingredient quality and nutrient density. She built the platform after her own experience with severe food intolerances, and now works with retailers and CPG brands to help families make healthier choices with simple, smart swaps.
FoodHealth Co. is rolling out a free new tool that lets online shoppers see the FoodHealth Score for each item—and find healthy swaps—at major retailers in the U.S. Join the waitlist here: https://www.foodhealth.co/fhai
