The Updated Food Pyramid: What RFK Jr. Got Right and What’s Still Missing

Описание: In this episode of ReAlign, I take a deep, analytical look at the newly updated food pyramid supported by RFK Jr. — what it finally gets right, what science it now acknowledges, and the major areas where it still falls short.


Here’s what I break down:


• The major shifts in the pyramid (protein, fats, dairy, vegetables, glycemic index)


• Why vegetables now rank higher than fruit — and why that matters metabolically


• Why whole grains were moved downward


• Why high-glycemic foods (including bananas, grapes, and potatoes) need moderation


• The overlooked problem with legumes and phytic acid


• Where the pyramid is still misleading


• The missing pieces that need addressing (glycemic impact of starches, gut health considerations)


• How this update could influence food manufacturing and regulation


• What Americans still need to understand about metabolic health that the pyramid doesn’t explain


I also discuss how to actually apply a corrected version of this pyramid to your daily life without restriction, stress, or confusion.


If you want clarity, grounded science, and an honest breakdown of a major nutrition shift in our country, this is the episode for you.
