The Truth About Grass-Fed, Wild-Caught, and Colorful Foods

with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne

In this episode of The Best You Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, New York Times bestselling author, science communicator, and creator of the Nutrivore movement. We explore the real science behind nutrient-rich eating and how focusing on food quality—not restriction—can transform your health.

Dr. Sarah shares her personal story of losing over 100 pounds three times in her life, how she reframed her approach to health, and the most important nutrition strategies she uses today to fuel longevity and energy.

In this episode, we discuss:

● The difference between grass-fed vs grain-fed beef

● Why wild-caught fish is worth considering

● The health benefits of eating colorful fruits and vegetables

● How Dr. Sarah talks about food and body image with her teenage daughters

● The importance of fermented foods and her favorite sources

● The top 3 foods she eats every single week for optimal health

If you want to build a nutrient-rich diet that supports your gut, brain, and longevity, this episode is a must-listen.
