What if your struggle with food isn’t a personal failing, but the result of a system designed to confuse you?

In this episode, we explore why eating has become so complicated, and how diet culture, food marketing, and processed food science have reshaped our relationship with hunger. From the rise of “health halos” and moral food messaging to the explosion of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, we ask: can we ever trust our bodies again?

You’ll hear from leading voices in nutrition, food history, and medicine — including Marion Nestle, Michael Moss, Christy Harrison, Dr Nick Fuller, and Dr Lauren Samuelsson as we trace how corporate influence, gendered food messaging, and engineered cravings have distorted how we eat.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why food became tied to morality and how that began over 2,000 years ago

  • How 1970s diet culture and convenience food rewired our appetites

  • What the food industry doesn’t want you to know about nutrition “research”

  • Why some foods feel literally impossible to stop eating

  • Whether GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are really a miracle or just the latest quick fix

🎧 Featuring:

🔬 Prof Marion Nestle on how food companies shape what we believe about health → foodpolitics.com

📚 Michael Moss, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Salt Sugar Fat & Hooked

🧠 Christy Harrison, dietitian and journalist behind Anti-Diet & The Wellness Trap

💉 Dr Nick Fuller from Interval Weight Loss on how GLP-1s like Ozempic actually work

📖 Dr Lauren Samuelsson, food historian, on how The Women’s Weekly shaped modern diet culture → UOW profile

If you’ve ever felt confused about food, struggled to trust your appetite, or wondered why eating feels so fraught, this one’s for you.
