## Resource

In the first edition of the Conspirituality Book Club, Derek dives into Food Intelligence: The Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms Us by Julia Belluz and Kevin Hall, PhD. First, he looks at how RFK Jr and Jay Bhattacharya forced Hall out of his nutrition research position at the NIH in 2025. Then he covers some of the book's most intriguing findings, including: Why most people don't have "slow metabolism" Why most of us don't actually need more protein The origins of the wellness industry's fascination with products over science Why ultra-processed foods are actually dangerous (it's not what MAHA claims) The importance of calorie absorption Those microbiome tests are more scam than science Show Notes Food Intelligence: The Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms Us Learn more about your ad choices.
