America’s Food Supply Is Rigged—Here’s How to Opt Out | Vani Hari & Dr. Shebani Sethi

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are identified as the leading cause of
preventable death globally. These foods are chemically altered,
stripped of their natural structures, and filled with additives,
sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives, resulting in products
that offer little to no nutritional benefit while contributing
significantly to chronic disease. In this episode, I talk with Vani
Hari and Dr. Shebani Sethi about why ultra-processed foods are not
just a health risk—they are a public health crisis. Vani Hari is
the food activist behind FoodBabe.com, a NY Times best-selling
author of 4 books, founder of the organic products brand Truvani,
and was named one of the “Most Influential People on the Internet”
by Time magazine. Hari’s viral testimony before the US Senate
sparked a massive movement to stop American food companies from
poisoning their own citizens with ingredients they don’t use in
other countries. Hari founded Food Babe to spread information about
what is really in the American food supply. She teaches people how
to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to
live an organic lifestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the
world. Vani has gathered hundreds of thousands of petitions to
change the food system and influenced how major food giants like
Kraft, Subway, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks create their
products, steering them towards more healthful policies. Dr.
Shebani Sethi is a double board-certified physician in Obesity
Medicine and Psychiatry. She is the Founding Director of Stanford
University’s Metabolic Psychiatry program and Silicon Valley
Metabolic Psychiatry, a new center in the San Francisco Bay Area
focused on optimizing brain health by integrating low carb
nutrition, comprehensive psychiatric care, and treatment of obesity
with associated metabolic disease.  Full length episodes can
