About This Podcast

In this episode, we unpack a bold reframing of nutrition work. Instead of chasing one off diet fixes, we explore the idea of food culture—the shared behaviors, beliefs, and environments that shape how we eat. You will hear why the authors argue for a culture first approach, and what makes this different from traditional individual focused interventions.
