Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Joshua Hills, author of You Can Eat That, for a refreshing and honest conversation about nutrition, fat loss, and the fear surrounding ultra-processed foods. We dive into what inspired Joshua to write his book and unpack some of the biggest misconceptions people still believe when it comes to fat loss. We talk about why so many people feel guilt around food, the long-term damage diet culture has done to our relationship with eating, and why food freedom is often misunderstood. Joshua also shares his thoughts on the growing fear-mongering around ultra-processed foods, explaining how context, balance, and sustainability matter far more than labeling foods as "good" or "bad." If you've been stuck in years of yo-yo dieting, struggling with food guilt, or feeling confused by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective on building a healthier relationship with food — without extremes. A thoughtful, balanced conversation that cuts through the noise in today's nutrition space. Buy You Can Eat That - https://shorturl.at/rUT0a
