🎙️ Between Sessions — The New Food Pyramid: What’s Changed and Why It Matters

• Justin Waring • Season 3 • Episode 1

For decades, the food pyramid has shaped how we think about healthy eating — from low-fat dogma to carb-heavy bases and everything in between.

But recently, nutrition guidelines have shifted again. A new version of the U.S. food pyramid has been introduced, bringing major changes in how protein, fats, carbohydrates, and whole foods are prioritised.

In this episode of Between Sessions, we unpack:

  • What the new food pyramid looks like
  • How it differs from previous guidelines
  • Why these changes were made
  • What experts are saying
  • And how the public has responded

We also explore an important truth:
 Despite decades of official dietary advice, less than 10% of people actually follow nutrition guidelines — both in the U.S. and here in Australia. So is the issue the pyramid itself… or how we apply it?

Whether you’re a gym-goer, parent, health professional, or simply someone trying to eat better — this episode cuts through the noise and gives you practical context, not dogma.

Because good health isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about understanding the fundamentals.
