Why Ultra-Processed Foods Slow Your Metabolism (And Why You Believe It)
In this episode, hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park sort through the science and hype around ultra-processed foods, examining what the research actually shows about metabolism, satiety, and gut health — while dismantling the myth that healthy eating requires perfection or elimination. They break down the NOVA classification system, discuss why your body spontaneously consumes more calories when eating ultra-processed foods, and explain why the *proportion* of these foods in your diet matters far more than whether you eat them at all. You'll leave with a practical, evidence-backed strategy for shifting your eating patterns without guilt or unrealistic overhauls.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
