  • Summary

  • This week I welcomed Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD on my show to talk about the power of nutrient density through the lens of her new book, Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat. Nutrivore is the revolutionary yet simple dietary concept: get all the nutrients our bodies need from the foods we eat. To Dr. Sarah, Nutrivore represents a completely new way to think about foods. Instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad”, Nutrivore looks at the overall quality of the whole diet. In our conversation, we explore the fascinating Nutrivore scores and how they serve as a compass for optimizing our food choices and meal planning. Dr. Sarah shares insights from her transition from medical research to health advocacy, underlining the importance of nutrient density, debunking dietary myths, and proposing a balanced, informed way of living. Additionally, she unveils a surprising, evidence-based update on mercury levels in tuna and Atlantic salmon. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD is the founder of Nutrivore.com and New York Times best-selling author of Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat, which was released on May 14th. Grounded in scientific rigor and free from rigid dogma, Nutrivore prioritizes nourishment over judgment, making it accessible to all. Tune in as we discuss the foundational principles of nutrient density and share practical insights that will empower you to embrace a nutrient-focused lifestyle tailored to your unique needs. 00:00 The Impact of Processed Foods on Nutrient Intake 00:30 Introducing Dr. Sarah Ballantyne and Nutrivore 02:21 Dr. Sarah's Journey from Autoimmune Challenges to Nutrivore 03:29 The Evolution of Diet Culture and the Birth of Nutrivore 05:36 Gut Microbiome Research and Dietary Expansion 08:11 Nutrivore: A New Approach to Nutritional Sufficiency 11:38 The Science and Philosophy Behind Nutrivore 14:19 Understanding Nutrient Density and the Nutrivore Score 20:31 Addressing Nutrient Deficiency and Insufficiency in Americans 27:41 The Debate on Multivitamins and Emphasis on Food Quality 33:14 Exploring Alternatives to Organ Meats and Addressing Contaminants 37:42 Unlocking the Secrets of Selenium and Mercury in Fish 40:38 Exploring the Nutrover Foundational Foods 46:01 The NutriVore Diet: A Deep Dive into Nutritional Needs 52:55 Personal Insights: Sarah Ballantyne's Daily Diet and Meal Planning 01:02:04 Navigating Food Choices and Online Shopping for Health 01:03:30 Launching NutriVore: A New Approach to Nutrition 01:06:43 Three Key Health Tips from Dr. Sarah Ballantyne Connect with Amy Myers, MD Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AmyMyersMD/featured Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmyMyersMD Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD: Website: https://nutrivore.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drsarahballantyne/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsarahballantyne/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drsarahballantyne
