Ah, summer. The beach. The sand. The waves. The swimsuits. Oh God, it's that time of year.

That's right. It's time for the treadmills, the salads, the juice fast. It's time to go bootcamp mode, right?

Well, how about we try something different this year?

I'm Yuna Jata. And I'm Dr. Eddie Phillips, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and we're back with a brand new season of food we need to talk.

The science-based, human-based, approach to health and fitness.

This summer, we think it's time to try something new, something that actually works.

We've had at least two decades of public health messaging around food that's all been focused on body weight, and it's been a complete failure.

We're talking to world-renowned experts, like Dr. Laurie Santos.

I think one of the biggest happily ever-afters in our culture is I'll be happier when I lose, you know, X number of pounds.

To find out what really matters.

Even in the cases where people do make those changes, they're often not really as happy as they expect.

And of course, we'll be tackling all the newest fitness fads.

It's like a massive marketing coup, and everybody goes, but if you tried, like, type three collagen, and I'm like, you know what?

So if you're looking for a realistic approach to health.

That's evidence-based.

And doesn't make you hate your life, then find food we need to talk wherever you get your podcasts.
