Rethinking Nutrition With Guest Marion Nestle

Dr. John Poothullil talks with Marion Nestle about today's food policy and what we can do to fix it.

This week I am sharing an audio, I sit down with Marion Nestle, one of America’s most influential voices in food policy and nutrition science. Marion’s latest book, What To Eat Now?, explores a critical paradox in today’s food system: how our diets have become calorie-rich but nutrient-poor—and what we can do to fix it.

Together, we dive into the forces shaping the modern food environment, from aggressive marketing to the dominance of ultra-processed foods. They discuss why nutrient gaps matter, why supplements can’t replace real food, and how simple, everyday choices can help reclaim your health.

Listeners will walk away with practical takeaways and a broader understanding of how food, policy, and personal responsibility intersect in shaping America’s health. The audio was originally posted on DailyMailUSA.

This conversation also looks ahead to the policy changes that could help Americans access real, nutrient-rich foods. It’s a compelling discussion that challenges conventional thinking about “healthy eating” and offers a clear path toward better public and personal health.
