In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alexandra MacKillop, a former food scientist turned functional medicine doctor, to explore her fascinating journey from the world of nutrition science to a more holistic, whole-body approach to health. Dr. MacKillop shares the pivotal moments that led her to question the practices in the food industry and transition into functional medicine, where she now helps individuals achieve better health through personalized care and lifestyle changes. We discuss the major flaws she saw in food science, including the lack of real health benefits in many processed foods and the influence of corporate funding on research. Dr. MacKillop also explains why certain ingredients in our food offer “zero benefits” and the importance of supporting the body with proper nutrition. We dive into topics like birth control’s classification as a carcinogen, how to navigate food additives and artificial ingredients, and how to avoid getting caught up in health trends and fear-mongering. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the gap between traditional nutrition science and functional medicine, and how to make informed health choices without feeling overwhelmed.Key Topics:The transition from food scientist to functional medicine practitionerThe health issues that sparked Dr. MacKillop’s career changeThe truth behind “zero benefits” of certain food ingredientsWhat are the ingredients we should avoid as much as possibleBirth control and its classification as a "Class 1 Carcinogen" (and what the best course of action is to take when it comes to BC)The difference between holistic practitioners and traditional food scientistsTips on avoiding harmful ingredients and balancing your diet without the overwhelm of health trendsFind info on Dr. MacKillop and her resources HERE
