Fun fact: More people are now dying from food-related diseases than smoking. I'll let that sink in for a moment.
Julie Ruelle is a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience and the bearer of this disturbing information. In this episode, we're diving into the world of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs), the confusion and misinformation we are being fed on a daily basis, and more on how to eat for long-term health.
Julie is the RD of record at GoCoCo, a food-scanning app that uses an easy-to-understand scoring system based on nutritional value and degree of ultra-processing, empowering consumers to make informed choices. With over 600,000 US foods in the database (that's 80% of all food sold in the US), they are easing the pain of understanding how to shop.
