What are the labels on your food actually saying?

For this episode of the Health Quest Podcast, we’ve compiled a few of Dr. Sal’s answers to listeners’ questions from past episodes of the show.

He explains how to be mindful of food labels and common misleading information they may offer so you can understand the full impact of the product on your health. He recommends using the Yucca app for scanning product barcodes to determine if they're truly good for you.

Dr. Sal also offers his critical insights on the popular weight-loss medication, Ozempic. He provides evidence-based information that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health,and he doesn't hold back in debunking myths and shedding light on the truth behind certain health practices.

Key takeaways:

1. When grocery shopping, focus on the periphery of the store, where you can find fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, and eggs. This helps to avoid processed and additive-laden foods usually found in the aisles.

2. Use the free app called Yucca (or Yukka) to scan barcodes and get detailed information about whether the product is good to eat. If not, the app will recommend healthier alternatives.

3. It's advised to stay away from genetically modified wheat products and to opt for alternative options like almond butter. When reading labels, be cautious of claims like "0 trans fat" as they can still convert to trans fats within the body after consumption.

4. It's important to focus on natural alternatives and healthy habits for weight loss, rather than turning to pharmaceutical solutions with potential side effects. Natural supplements like resveratrol, vitamin B6, and NMN when paired with a natural version of semiglutide can naturally reduce appetite and increase metabolism.

5. Embracing discipline in diet and exercise helps to reset neural networks and create healthier habits. Prioritizing good health and making conscious choices in line with God's will ensures a happier and healthier life.
