The New USDA Food Pyramid Finally Talks Gut Health

Описание: The New USDA Food Pyramid Finally Talks Gut Health—Here’s Why That Matters for Your Heart & Circulation

That’s not a trend.
That’s science catching up.

This week on Ask NP Deidre, I sit down with Deidre Arms, nurse practitioner with Aspire Wellness & Integrative Health, to unpack what the new USDA guidance really means—and why gut health is foundational to far more than digestion.

We talk about how gut health influences:
• chronic inflammation
• blood sugar control
• cholesterol metabolism
• immune response
• and cardiovascular and vascular health

For people living with PAD, diabetes, metabolic disease, or heart disease risk, this matters. A disrupted gut can fuel inflammation and insulin resistance—both of which directly impact circulation and disease progression.

In this episode, Deidre breaks down:
• what the updated USDA guidance gets right
• where patients still need context
• realistic, sustainable ways to support gut health without extremes

This is about nourishment that supports your body—not restriction, guilt, or fads.
