3. New 2026 Food Pyramid Recommendations | Rethinking How We Nourish

In this episode of Overflow: A Women’s Wellness Roundtable, we sit down for an honest and timely conversation about food — specifically, the food pyramid many of us grew up with, and why its recent revision matters more than most people realize.So many women today feel tired, inflamed, confused about food, or frustrated that “doing all the right things” still isn’t working. In this conversation, we explore how outdated nutrition messaging has quietly shaped our relationship with food — often leading to under-nourishment, blood sugar issues, and chronic stress on the body.This episode isn’t about fear, rules, or perfection. It’s about understanding how we got here, and learning how to nourish ourselves with more awareness, compassion, and wisdom.✨ What We Talk About in This EpisodeWhy the recent revision of the food pyramid is such a big dealWhat many of us remember being taught about food growing upHow six to eleven servings of grains per day became the foundationWhy under-eating is incredibly common in womenBlood sugar imbalance, insulin resistance, and constant exhaustionThe difference between traditional grains and modern processed wheatGlyphosate, hybridized wheat, and why modern grains affect the body differentlyWhy some people tolerate bread in Europe but not in the U.S.The role of protein, fat, and nutrient density in women’s healthStress, depleted soil, minerals, and modern food systemsWhy awareness matters more than perfectionSimple, realistic ways to begin nourishing yourself better🌿 A Gentle ReminderThis conversation is not about labeling foods as “good” or “bad.”It’s about recognizing that many women were simply doing the best they could with the information they were given — and that nourishment is foundational to energy, hormones, mood, and resilience.Small shifts, made with awareness, can change everything.📌 Stay ConnectedYou can find us on Instagram and explore free resources linked in the show notes:Becky WebbBronwyn DeiterAndrea LehmanGrab Our Free Resources!7 Tips of Managing Stress and Loving Your Thyroid (Andrea)Nourish.
