How to Read Food Labels & Avoid Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF)

Have you ever stood in the grocery store aisle, looking at a "healthy" product and wondering if it’s actually good for you? You aren't alone—food labels are often designed to create more confusion than clarity. In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast, Dr. Kevin Schultz cuts through the marketing noise to show you how to read food labels simply, quickly, and confidently. Learn why the front of the package is designed to sell you a feeling, while the back tells the truth—if you know what to look for. Dr. Kevin exposes the reality of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF), which now make up 73% of the U.S. food supply. We dive deep into the "Evil 8" seed oils, the 61 different names for sugar, and the truth behind unregulated buzzwords like "natural" and "farm fresh".
