Summary
Joining me today on Nutrition Diva are Juna Gjata and Dr. Eddie Phillips of the hit podcast and now a new book of the same name Food We Need to Talk.
Highlights from our conversation:
- Breaking down the false dichotomy between “good” and “bad” foods, or between “healthy” diets and everything else.
- Is the food supply, on balance, safer than people think or more dangerous than people think?
- The necessity of “backing up the lens” to see all the things that contribute to our health.
- How easily the pursuit of physical health can end up damaging our mental and emotional health.
- Ending stigma and victim-blaming around “lifestyle diseases”
- What’s next for the creators of Food, We Need to Talk

| 0:26.3 | Hit Podcast and now a new book of the same name, Food We Need To Talk. Welcome to you both. |
| 0:34.0 | Thank you for how you as Monica. Thank you Monica. When I started listening to your podcast, |
| 0:39.3 | I immediately recognized that anyone who enjoys my podcast was also going to love yours and hopefully |
| 0:48.2 | vice versa. I feel like our podcasts were sort of separated at birth. |
| 0:51.7 | And now although my podcast launched about 12 years before years, so I'm the older sister here. |
| 0:58.8 | Wow, that's like really ahead of the podcast game. |
| 1:01.9 | It what we are celebrating our 15th anniversary this month, actually. That's amazing. |
| 1:07.8 | It is. Nobody saw that coming. But now, and when did yours, you're in your year three, four? |

| 1:30.0 | who may not already have discovered your show. I feel like a lot of them already have. |
| 1:34.9 | So I'm so glad to have you here. And one of the things I think we have in common on our two |
| 1:41.6 | podcasts is a real commitment to presenting evidence-based information. |
| 1:47.9 | But also that awareness or even that humility about the limitations of what we actually know |
| 1:56.4 | for sure, what we're still figuring out. And of course, the fact that even the best design study |
| 2:03.9 | isn't going to apply to everyone, it's really a tricky line to walk, isn't it? |
