Dr. Zeke Emanuel is one of the country’s foremost healthcare
experts. An oncologist and the former chair of the Department of
Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health, he was one of the
architects of the Affordable Care Act and now teaches at the
University of Pennsylvania. Emanuel’s new book, “Eat Your Ice
Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life,” offers
practical advice on eating and living well at a time when Americans
are bombarded with dubious “wellness” content everywhere they look.
Kara and Zeke talk about how nutrition advice has gotten overly
complicated; why it’s OK to indulge in the occasional serving of
ice cream or glass of wine; and why he mostly dismisses wearable
technology as a means of measuring a healthy lifestyle. Emanuel
also shares his thoughts on the Trump administration’s latest
updates to the food pyramid, and his fears over the distrust the
government is sowing around vaccines. Special thanks to
