What Should I Eat? Nutrition Principles Everyone Should Know | Dr. Jaime Schehr

Poor diet is one of the biggest drivers of chronic disease worldwide. In this episode of The Health Curve, we explore one of the most basic but most confusing questions in health: what should people actually eat?Host Dr. Jason Arora is joined by Dr. Jaime Schehr - integrative medicine physician, naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian, and Peloton's official Nutritionist @OnePeloton 🚴 - to cut through the noise on food, wellness, and the diets people are constantly told to follow.Together, they break down the nutrition principles that matter most: why whole, recognizable foods matter, why most people need more fiber, how to think about protein, carbohydrates, fats, dairy, and micronutrients, and why so much of the confusion around food comes from misinformation, overprocessing, and convenience-driven eating.The conversation also gets practical. What does a healthy plate actually look like? How should people think about smoothies, sugar, seed oils, hidden fats, and ultra-processed foods? And how can someone eat well even on a tight budget?At its core, this episode is about simplifying nutrition. Not fad diets. Not food fear. Just the core principles that help most people eat better, feel better, and reduce their long-term risk of disease.Follow The Health Curve @thehealthcurve for evidence-based conversations that make it easier to navigate health with clarity.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:23 Dr. Jaime Schehr's background03:13 Wellness trends and what's changed07:53 Where nutrition fits in health today11:22 Why nutrition feels so confusing13:03 What a healthy diet actually looks like17:01 What changed in the food pyramid18:31 Do people eat enough protein?21:43 How to eat healthy on a budget24:52 Seed oils and ultra-processed foods30:53 Why fiber matters so much35:03 Carbohydrates explained37:39 Smoothies, fruit, and sugar42:21 Dairy explained44:21 What micronutrients are46:27 Where nutrition needs to go next47:44 Closing thoughts
