Description

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Alex DiFeliceantonio about how to actually make healthy eating more appealing to your brain. We dive into the science of flavor, anticipation, and food reward—and why roasted veggies with butter are totally fair game. Alex shares her 80/20 approach to feeding her family, what’s in her emergency grocery cart, and why she avoids artificial sweeteners for her kid. We also talk about the sneaky ways food companies use health labels to trick you.
