00:01:57,096 –> 00:02:01,058

[Lori Taylor]: your show. You’ve been doing

a lot. And if anyone else is confused with

 

49

00:02:01,118 –> 00:02:05,300

[Lori Taylor]: me about what the World Health

Organization’s claims are with the new Diet

 

50

00:02:06,320 –> 00:02:09,882

[Lori Taylor]: Coke and all that, that’s just

happened, it’s like, anyone who drinks Diet

 

51

00:02:09,922 –> 00:02:14,384

[Lori Taylor]: Coke, you know what I’m talking

about. Or maybe they don’t, Jackie. Maybe they

 

52

00:02:14,464 –> 00:02:14,684

[Lori Taylor]: don’t

 

53

00:02:14,550 –> 00:02:14,910

[jackie]: I’m

 

54

00:02:14,724 –> 00:02:14,964

[Lori Taylor]: know what

 

55

00:02:14,950 –> 00:02:15,331

[jackie]: worried.

 

56

00:02:15,004 –> 00:02:16,124

[Lori Taylor]: I’m talking about, but.

 

57

00:02:16,112 –> 00:02:20,318

[jackie]: I said, better they don’t and they

just go on living their lives, drinking a diet

 

58

00:02:20,338 –> 00:02:22,702

[jackie]: coke or two every day. Happy,

 

59

00:02:22,489 –> 00:02:23,114

[Lori Taylor]: There you go.

 

60

00:02:22,962 –> 00:02:24,024

[jackie]: happy to hear it.

 

61

00:02:23,960 –> 00:02:24,344

[Lori Taylor]: Okay,

 

62

00:02:24,084 –> 00:02:24,565

[jackie]: I’d be happy

 

63

00:02:24,464 –> 00:02:24,666

[Lori Taylor]: well.

 

64

00:02:24,585 –> 00:02:24,885

[jackie]: to hear it.

 

65

00:02:25,437 –> 00:02:29,318

[Lori Taylor]: I recently have been thoroughly

entertained on Jackie’s podcast, the business

 

66

00:02:29,358 –> 00:02:34,701

[Lori Taylor]: of wellness, listening to her

have that renegade style response to everything

 

67

00:02:34,721 –> 00:02:39,123

[Lori Taylor]: that’s happening with aspartame

and whatnot. So today we’re not talking about

 

68

00:02:39,183 –> 00:02:41,624

[Lori Taylor]: that. We’re talking about, you

know, you’re on the produce mom’s podcast.

 

69

00:02:41,644 –> 00:02:45,486

[Lori Taylor]: We’re talking fruits and vegetables.

And right now, Jackie, our theme here on the

 

70

00:02:45,506 –> 00:02:50,828

[Lori Taylor]: podcast is superfoods. And when

I kicked this theme off, shame on me. I did

 

71

00:02:50,928 –> 00:02:56,840

[Lori Taylor]: not. I did not open up my strunken

white of nutrition. on the side by Jackie London.

 

72

00:02:57,677 –> 00:03:02,799

[Lori Taylor]: But in my introductory remarks

to this little mini series or theme, I said,

 

73

00:03:03,419 –> 00:03:08,982

[Lori Taylor]: superfoods, this is a food marketer

term in a way, like is it defined? I don’t

 

74

00:03:09,002 –> 00:03:13,464

[Lori Taylor]: know if it is. And as, yeah,

I’m watching you shake your head, but like

 

75

00:03:14,344 –> 00:03:18,466

[Lori Taylor]: I just feel like I need to turn

the mic over to you because we can’t be talking

 

76

00:03:18,546 –> 00:03:22,528

[Lori Taylor]: superfood, superfood and singing

the praises without actually getting that scientific

 

77

00:03:22,588 –> 00:03:27,090

[Lori Taylor]: voice, which you have. I mean,

you have all the initials after your last name.

 

78

00:03:27,591 –> 00:03:30,452

[Lori Taylor]: This is what you’ve studied.

You are a registered dietitian. You’re one

 

79

00:03:30,492 –> 00:03:36,456

[Lori Taylor]: of the leading voices for dietitians

in America and beyond. So help me break through

 

80

00:03:36,556 –> 00:03:43,940

[Lori Taylor]: and really kind of, I guess,

qualify that disclaimer I shared during the

 

81

00:03:44,060 –> 00:03:49,183

[Lori Taylor]: introductory episode of like,

yeah, I’m a food marketer. I know that, you

 

82

00:03:49,203 –> 00:03:51,144

[Lori Taylor]: know, like we overuse this term.

 

83

00:03:52,698 –> 00:03:57,202

[jackie]: I mean it’s such a great question.

It’s such a great topic because you know I’m

 

84

00:03:57,262 –> 00:04:01,585

[jackie]: thinking and I’m looking back to some

of my notes from Dressing on the Side also

 

85

00:04:01,625 –> 00:04:06,209

[jackie]: which is crazy to think that this

book came out in 2019 and when it came out

 

86

00:04:06,929 –> 00:04:11,529

[jackie]: I I had written a lot about the topic

and what I called in the book, the super fraud

 

87

00:04:11,609 –> 00:04:16,013

[jackie]: of super foods, right? Because this

is of course a true marketing term, which we

 

88

00:04:16,033 –> 00:04:19,295

[jackie]: can all understand. I actually, the

crazy, the reason why I mentioned the date

 

89

00:04:19,315 –> 00:04:23,379

[jackie]: Lori is because I think I’m thinking

now about how many cultural touch points we

 

90

00:04:23,439 –> 00:04:28,964

[jackie]: have of, um, of the word super. Like

we’re using the word super with increased frequency.

 

91

00:04:28,984 –> 00:04:32,266

[jackie]: It’s almost like super fraud. That’s

like a canary. And I mean, super food was like

 

92

00:04:32,286 –> 00:04:33,387

[jackie]: a canary in the coal mine

 

93

00:04:33,601 –> 00:04:34,472

[Lori Taylor]: Right, right.

 

94

00:04:34,308 –> 00:04:40,008

[jackie]: of using words that have this prefix

of super the thing and the real issue that

 

95

00:04:40,048 –> 00:04:43,431

[jackie]: I have with it is one that it’s an

undefined term right so

 

96

00:04:43,381 –> 00:04:43,741

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

97

00:04:43,451 –> 00:04:44,091

[jackie]: there’s just

 

98

00:04:44,062 –> 00:04:44,202

[Lori Taylor]: it’s

 

99

00:04:44,131 –> 00:04:44,432

[jackie]: that

 

100

00:04:44,262 –> 00:04:44,643

[Lori Taylor]: tough,

 

101

00:04:44,472 –> 00:04:45,272

[jackie]: first and foremost

 

102

00:04:45,464 –> 00:04:45,765

[Lori Taylor]: right?

 

103

00:04:45,492 –> 00:04:46,693

[jackie]: undefined

 

104

00:04:46,406 –> 00:04:46,726

[Lori Taylor]: It’s kind of

 

105

00:04:46,713 –> 00:04:46,813

[jackie]: the

 

106

00:04:46,746 –> 00:04:50,273

[Lori Taylor]: like locally grown. I’m gonna

throw that in there into the mix

 

107

00:04:50,170 –> 00:04:51,210

[jackie]: Exactly.

 

108

00:04:50,313 –> 00:04:52,957

[Lori Taylor]: too. It’s like define local,

right? Yeah,

 

109

00:04:53,390 –> 00:04:53,570

[jackie]: It’s

 

110

00:04:53,478 –> 00:04:53,738

[Lori Taylor]: yeah,

 

111

00:04:53,590 –> 00:04:54,391

[jackie]: such a great point.

 

112

00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:54,800

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

113

00:04:54,771 –> 00:04:59,492

[jackie]: The other really interesting thing,

so while it’s undefined by the FDA, by the

 

114

00:04:59,592 –> 00:05:03,693

[jackie]: FTC for food marketing purposes, the

dictionary actually has a definition of it.

 

115

00:05:04,052 –> 00:05:04,260

[Lori Taylor]: Ooh.

 

116

00:05:04,413 –> 00:05:08,775

[jackie]: And it makes me feel a little bit

like I’m left head scratching. I will read

 

117

00:05:08,815 –> 00:05:13,936

[jackie]: it to you. A food such as salmon,

broccoli, or blueberries that’s rich in compounds

 

118

00:05:14,036 –> 00:05:18,917

[jackie]: such as antioxidants, fiber, or fatty

acids considered beneficial to a person’s health.

 

119

00:05:20,194 –> 00:05:25,516

[jackie]: I mean, okay. So like that’s a solid

definition, solid definition, right? And it’s

 

120

00:05:25,576 –> 00:05:30,878

[jackie]: true that those foods, those examples

given by the dictionary are pretty good examples,

 

121

00:05:30,938 –> 00:05:36,601

[jackie]: right? The gripe that I have with

calling any food in isolation super is that

 

122

00:05:36,701 –> 00:05:42,003

[jackie]: no one is achieving any type of miracle

health benefit from having a serving of broccoli

 

123

00:05:42,143 –> 00:05:49,978

[jackie]: in a dietary pattern that’s otherwise

riddled with I mean, foods are only gonna be

 

124

00:05:50,098 –> 00:05:53,619

[jackie]: as super for you as the context

 

125

00:05:53,686 –> 00:05:53,870

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

126

00:05:53,699 –> 00:05:58,640

[jackie]: and the consistency with which you’re

adding them in to your everyday meals and snacks.

 

127

00:05:58,789 –> 00:05:59,179

[Lori Taylor]: truth.

 

128

00:05:59,001 –> 00:06:03,782

[jackie]: So health benefits can be subjective,

they can be overblown when taken out of context,

 

129

00:06:04,522 –> 00:06:07,803

[jackie]: because like on the other, on the

flip side of this, if you’re just having salmon,

 

130

00:06:07,823 –> 00:06:11,104

[jackie]: blueberries, and broccoli at every

meal, there can be risks associated with that

 

131

00:06:11,144 –> 00:06:17,090

[jackie]: too, right? So like if the dose makes

the poison in anything, then surely… have

 

132

00:06:17,130 –> 00:06:21,492

[jackie]: to be mindful of considering that

when we talk about the topic of superfoods.

 

133

00:06:21,852 –> 00:06:27,034

[jackie]: So yeah, I like the concept. Is it

going to be foods with additional fiber, like

 

134

00:06:27,174 –> 00:06:30,696

[jackie]: real wholesome foods with additional

fiber that are naturally filled with fiber

 

135

00:06:30,716 –> 00:06:35,198

[jackie]: that are naturally filled with antioxidants

and essential fatty acids? That seems pretty

 

136

00:06:35,238 –> 00:06:39,740

[jackie]: much benign enough. If we, if you

see it on food labels, if you’re looking, you’re

 

137

00:06:39,760 –> 00:06:43,370

[jackie]: shopping at the grocery store and

you’re seeing it different places, but it’s

 

138

00:06:43,470 –> 00:06:47,873

[jackie]: not so satisfying from as a dietician,

from my perspective, because I don’t think

 

139

00:06:47,893 –> 00:06:51,716

[jackie]: it gives the full picture of what

that actually means for you. And you know,

 

140

00:06:51,756 –> 00:06:55,278

[jackie]: Lori, like I’m always landing on the

side of what does this mean to the everyday

 

141

00:06:55,298 –> 00:06:56,439

[jackie]: consumer? And if

 

142

00:06:56,447 –> 00:06:56,672

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

143

00:06:56,479 –> 00:07:00,562

[jackie]: it’s not very clear and apparent and

really meaningful to you, and if it feels like

 

144

00:07:00,582 –> 00:07:04,284

[jackie]: it’s just gonna be kind of fraudulent

to the everyday consumer, then that’s where

 

145

00:07:04,525 –> 00:07:05,705

[jackie]: like my kind of heckles go up.

 

146

00:07:06,133 –> 00:07:13,456

[Lori Taylor]: Right, right. Well, okay, so

thank you. Fantastic renegade discourse there,

 

147

00:07:13,386 –> 00:07:13,468

[jackie]: I’m

 

148

00:07:13,476 –> 00:07:13,596

[Lori Taylor]: which

 

149

00:07:13,508 –> 00:07:13,671

[jackie]: going to

 

150

00:07:13,636 –> 00:07:13,716

[Lori Taylor]: is

 

151

00:07:13,691 –> 00:07:13,792

[jackie]: go to

 

152

00:07:13,756 –> 00:07:13,856

[Lori Taylor]: what

 

153

00:07:13,813 –> 00:07:13,874

[jackie]: bed.

 

154

00:07:13,896 –> 00:07:16,517

[Lori Taylor]: I was expecting. Now,

 

155

00:07:16,374 –> 00:07:17,149

[jackie]: But I’m here for it.

 

156

00:07:17,658 –> 00:07:22,960

[Lori Taylor]: in addition to that, let’s help

qualify now your expertise because Jackie isn’t

 

157

00:07:22,980 –> 00:07:27,982

[Lori Taylor]: just my friend who wrote a book

who went to school studying nutrition and has

 

158

00:07:28,022 –> 00:07:33,624

[Lori Taylor]: her RD. Let’s talk about your

background in research, clinical practice.

 

159

00:07:34,049 –> 00:07:37,072

[Lori Taylor]: what you’ve done in the media,

et cetera, if you don’t mind, just to help,

 

160

00:07:37,373 –> 00:07:39,776

[Lori Taylor]: you know, for anyone who hasn’t

tuned in to one of your previous episodes.

 

161

00:07:39,850 –> 00:07:45,233

[jackie]: Yeah. So I got my start in clinical

nutrition. I worked, I’m talking to you live

 

162

00:07:45,253 –> 00:07:49,156

[jackie]: from New York City. Where I was born

and raised.

 

163

00:07:49,129 –> 00:07:49,289

[Lori Taylor]: We

 

164

00:07:49,216 –> 00:07:49,436

[jackie]: So

 

165

00:07:49,330 –> 00:07:51,156

[Lori Taylor]: should be up, I’ll do cheese

right now.

 

166

00:07:51,177 –> 00:07:52,598

[jackie]: I wish that we were.

 

167

00:07:52,521 –> 00:07:52,883

[Lori Taylor]: I know.

 

168

00:07:52,678 –> 00:07:52,938

[jackie]: Oh my

 

169

00:07:52,903 –> 00:07:53,003

[Lori Taylor]: Ha ha

 

170

00:07:52,998 –> 00:07:53,399

[jackie]: gosh,

 

171

00:07:53,023 –> 00:07:53,063

[Lori Taylor]: ha.

 

172

00:07:53,459 –> 00:07:57,641

[jackie]: Lori, how glorious would that be?

Oh, what a wonderful place. Meanwhile, that

 

173

00:07:57,681 –> 00:08:00,043

[jackie]: Valdez is a Panera now. Not to take

us too off

 

174

00:08:00,017 –> 00:08:00,138

[Lori Taylor]: Oh

 

175

00:08:00,083 –> 00:08:00,403

[jackie]: topic,

 

176

00:08:00,259 –> 00:08:00,984

[Lori Taylor]: shoot,

 

177

00:08:00,423 –> 00:08:01,524

[jackie]: but it’s a sad story.

 

178

00:08:01,245 –> 00:08:01,890

[Lori Taylor]: okay.

 

179

00:08:02,104 –> 00:08:02,965

[jackie]: The sad story. I know.

 

180

00:08:03,178 –> 00:08:03,460

[Lori Taylor]: Oh.

 

181

00:08:04,074 –> 00:08:10,300

[jackie]: But anyway, I got my start in nutrition

working as a clinician in stroke and brain

 

182

00:08:10,341 –> 00:08:15,066

[jackie]: injury rehab at a hospital here in

New York City. I was there for a number of

 

183

00:08:15,126 –> 00:08:19,931

[jackie]: years and also worked at the same

time at night. I would work in private practice

 

184

00:08:19,951 –> 00:08:23,915

[jackie]: nutrition, working primarily with

athletes. Um, and with other individuals who

 

185

00:08:23,935 –> 00:08:29,038

[jackie]: were looking for weight management

solutions and strategies, um, and it was really

 

186

00:08:29,178 –> 00:08:33,381

[jackie]: eyeopening. I mean, that’s really

what got my start into everything. And I really

 

187

00:08:33,401 –> 00:08:37,884

[jackie]: wanted to do what I was doing at,

at a larger scale in whatever capacity was

 

188

00:08:38,025 –> 00:08:42,107

[jackie]: possible for me. And that was when

I heard about this job at good housekeeping,

 

189

00:08:42,127 –> 00:08:47,992

[jackie]: which was amazing and really fortuitous.

So I wound up as the nutrition director for

 

190

00:08:48,092 –> 00:08:51,946

[jackie]: good housekeeping for a number of

years as well, which was wonderful. I started

 

191

00:08:52,406 –> 00:08:58,089

[jackie]: a program there that is a licensing,

um, an incubator program for different food

 

192

00:08:58,110 –> 00:09:04,733

[jackie]: companies. So essentially like a consultancy

within Hearst tower, um, that was a, it’s still

 

193

00:09:04,753 –> 00:09:08,255

[jackie]: going, the program’s still quite successful

as far as I can see from the

 

194

00:09:08,290 –> 00:09:08,557

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

195

00:09:08,335 –> 00:09:14,879

[jackie]: outside, but, um, I left there in

2019 to take the role of head of nutrition

 

196

00:09:14,919 –> 00:09:18,901

[jackie]: and wellness at Weight Watchers and

was there for two years. And that was its own

 

197

00:09:18,921 –> 00:09:24,612

[jackie]: fascinating. experience. But my whole

goal throughout my career has really been research

 

198

00:09:24,692 –> 00:09:28,034

[jackie]: based, like evidence based, but for

real people and real life. And

 

199

00:09:28,052 –> 00:09:28,196

[Lori Taylor]: Mm-hmm.

 

200

00:09:28,394 –> 00:09:33,377

[jackie]: using that background and experience

to apply to what are the solutions, what are

 

201

00:09:33,417 –> 00:09:37,979

[jackie]: the problems that people are expressing

to me on a regular basis, on a consistent basis.

 

202

00:09:38,039 –> 00:09:41,361

[jackie]: I’ve always had an ear to the ground

with what are people talking about? What are

 

203

00:09:41,381 –> 00:09:45,344

[jackie]: the concerns that are coming up? Whether

it was at good housekeeping, in the hospital,

 

204

00:09:45,464 –> 00:09:50,858

[jackie]: working in private practice at every

phase of my career. And what has been amazing

 

205

00:09:50,878 –> 00:09:55,060

[jackie]: to me is that so many of the things

that trip people up when it comes to building

 

206

00:09:55,100 –> 00:10:00,122

[jackie]: healthier habits or making more nutritious

food choices are so much of like the noise

 

207

00:10:00,142 –> 00:10:07,265

[jackie]: that just comes at you when it comes

to finding food that is right for you, your

 

208

00:10:07,305 –> 00:10:12,987

[jackie]: family, your lifestyle, whether that’s

budget or otherwise, and finding nutritious

 

209

00:10:13,067 –> 00:10:16,449

[jackie]: options and putting them together

in ways that are truly tasty, delicious, and

 

210

00:10:16,489 –> 00:10:17,129

[jackie]: things that you look

 

211

00:10:17,133 –> 00:10:17,615

[Lori Taylor]: That’s

 

212

00:10:17,169 –> 00:10:18,029

[jackie]: forward to eating.

 

213

00:10:18,317 –> 00:10:18,739

[Lori Taylor]: things that

 

214

00:10:18,642 –> 00:10:18,802

[jackie]: and

 

215

00:10:18,759 –> 00:10:19,040

[Lori Taylor]: people

 

216

00:10:18,922 –> 00:10:19,822

[jackie]: that

 

217

00:10:19,100 –> 00:10:19,984

[Lori Taylor]: want to eat.

 

218

00:10:19,902 –> 00:10:20,642

[jackie]: exactly

 

219

00:10:20,104 –> 00:10:20,967

[Lori Taylor]: It’s not nutrition

 

220

00:10:20,862 –> 00:10:21,082

[jackie]: what you

 

221

00:10:21,008 –> 00:10:21,269

[Lori Taylor]: until

 

222

00:10:21,122 –> 00:10:21,382

[jackie]: want to

 

223

00:10:21,289 –> 00:10:21,690

[Lori Taylor]: it’s eaten,

 

224

00:10:21,483 –> 00:10:21,643

[jackie]: eat.

 

225

00:10:21,891 –> 00:10:22,212

[Lori Taylor]: right?

 

226

00:10:22,623 –> 00:10:25,084

[jackie]: Lori could not have said that better.

That’s exactly

 

227

00:10:24,622 –> 00:10:24,832

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

228

00:10:25,124 –> 00:10:28,625

[jackie]: it. It’s not nutrition until it’s

eaten. And I think maybe that’s probably why

 

229

00:10:28,665 –> 00:10:33,507

[jackie]: my visceral reaction to superfoods

is really there is because a superfood is only

 

230

00:10:33,547 –> 00:10:38,188

[jackie]: as good as how often are you eating

it? The context and consistency in which you’re

 

231

00:10:38,228 –> 00:10:40,429

[jackie]: consuming that food. So that’s

 

232

00:10:40,322 –> 00:10:40,587

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

233

00:10:40,489 –> 00:10:41,149

[jackie]: my background

 

234

00:10:41,005 –> 00:10:41,385

[Lori Taylor]: Well, thank

 

235

00:10:41,389 –> 00:10:41,449

[jackie]: in

 

236

00:10:41,425 –> 00:10:41,545

[Lori Taylor]: you.

 

237

00:10:41,509 –> 00:10:41,909

[jackie]: a nutshell.

 

238

00:10:41,645 –> 00:10:45,247

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah, well, thank you. Because

your background helps set the tone of your

 

239

00:10:45,267 –> 00:10:50,529

[Lori Taylor]: authority here and why you are

the voice that I trust and go to when I need

 

240

00:10:50,629 –> 00:10:53,951

[Lori Taylor]: a nutrition advisor for the work

that we’re doing at the Produce Moms. Jackie

 

241

00:10:53,971 –> 00:10:58,773

[Lori Taylor]: helps me behind the scenes a

lot. And I know that if we ever need to qualify

 

242

00:10:58,813 –> 00:11:05,176

[Lori Taylor]: something or vet something, she’s

our trusted resource for that. So now, so let’s

 

243

00:11:05,196 –> 00:11:09,698

[Lori Taylor]: talk about this. Because I think

that there are, in fact, Jackie, I mean, true

 

244

00:11:09,738 –> 00:11:15,024

[Lori Taylor]: or false? that have heightened

nutritional properties than other foods. That’s

 

245

00:11:15,044 –> 00:11:15,465

[Lori Taylor]: an obvious

 

246

00:11:15,246 –> 00:11:15,986

[jackie]: Absolutely.

 

247

00:11:15,545 –> 00:11:17,708

[Lori Taylor]: true. Right.

 

248

00:11:17,607 –> 00:11:22,130

[jackie]: And I think our refusal to acknowledge

that. So like, I hope that listeners will,

 

249

00:11:22,150 –> 00:11:25,772

[jackie]: well, that this is clear for listeners

because I don’t want to sound like I’m talking

 

250

00:11:25,812 –> 00:11:29,894

[jackie]: out of two sides of my mouth, but

I almost do want to sound like that.

 

251

00:11:29,813 –> 00:11:30,134

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

252

00:11:29,955 –> 00:11:30,155

[jackie]: Right?

 

253

00:11:30,154 –> 00:11:30,797

[Lori Taylor]: you have to.

 

254

00:11:31,015 –> 00:11:35,418

[jackie]: Right. You kind of have to. It’s like

the nuance of it all. Right? On one hand, I,

 

255

00:11:35,618 –> 00:11:40,881

[jackie]: I again, foods can only be as nutritious

for you as the context and the consistency

 

256

00:11:41,061 –> 00:11:45,404

[jackie]: in in the ways that they’re consumed,

right? But on the other side, we have to acknowledge

 

257

00:11:45,424 –> 00:11:48,707

[jackie]: that there are foods that are more

nutritious than others. And I see a lot of

 

258

00:11:48,747 –> 00:11:53,150

[jackie]: stuff online lately that’s like, all

food is created equal. And the truth is like,

 

259

00:11:53,370 –> 00:11:57,253

[jackie]: yeah, all food has a place, but that

doesn’t mean that all food is as nutritious

 

260

00:11:57,393 –> 00:11:58,874

[jackie]: as one another. So

 

261

00:11:58,949 –> 00:11:59,333

[Lori Taylor]: Correct.

 

262

00:11:59,315 –> 00:12:04,799

[jackie]: veggies and fruit, I mean, produce,

I would call all produce the superest of superfoods.

 

263

00:12:05,019 –> 00:12:05,199

[jackie]: There,

 

264

00:12:05,217 –> 00:12:05,459

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

265

00:12:05,299 –> 00:12:07,561

[jackie]: I made up a new word, the superest.

 

266

00:12:08,301 –> 00:12:08,461

[Lori Taylor]: Well,

 

267

00:12:08,321 –> 00:12:08,421

[jackie]: Ha!

 

268

00:12:09,261 –> 00:12:13,123

[Lori Taylor]: and we’ve done that through the

consulting work that I did and my business

 

269

00:12:13,163 –> 00:12:17,205

[Lori Taylor]: did with Kroger for the Opt-Up

technology that they introduced to help their

 

270

00:12:17,245 –> 00:12:23,708

[Lori Taylor]: shoppers understand nutrition.

One of the key phrases that was really the

 

271

00:12:23,748 –> 00:12:28,350

[Lori Taylor]: produce moms contribution to

their strategy was all fruits and vegetables

 

272

00:12:28,630 –> 00:12:31,011

[Lori Taylor]: are green category foods and

they use

 

273

00:12:30,934 –> 00:12:31,398

[jackie]: Yes,

 

274

00:12:31,031 –> 00:12:34,053

[Lori Taylor]: the stoplight

 

275

00:12:31,438 –> 00:12:33,153

[jackie]: that’s right. Yeah.

 

276

00:12:34,073 –> 00:12:39,255

[Lori Taylor]: analogy to help people navigate

what’s the most nutritious stuff store and

 

277

00:12:39,375 –> 00:12:44,679

[Lori Taylor]: green was like go all in, like

go, accelerate. These are the foods you want

 

278

00:12:44,699 –> 00:12:50,643

[Lori Taylor]: to eat the most of. And so I

even use the tagline like within the produce

 

279

00:12:50,683 –> 00:12:55,186

[Lori Taylor]: department, everything is a,

you know, when we were using the lens of opt

 

280

00:12:55,286 –> 00:12:58,648

[Lori Taylor]: up, everything is a green category

food in the post part. The post department

 

281

00:12:58,688 –> 00:13:01,610

[Lori Taylor]: is your destination for the best

for you foods. I

 

282

00:13:01,610 –> 00:13:02,051

[jackie]: Yes.

 

283

00:13:01,670 –> 00:13:04,272

[Lori Taylor]: still believe that to be true.

Um,

 

284

00:13:03,554 –> 00:13:04,596

[jackie]: You’re a thousand

 

285

00:13:04,312 –> 00:13:04,512

[Lori Taylor]: but

 

286

00:13:04,636 –> 00:13:04,997

[jackie]: percent

 

287

00:13:04,692 –> 00:13:05,493

[Lori Taylor]: you know, truthfully

 

288

00:13:05,117 –> 00:13:05,558

[jackie]: right.

 

289

00:13:05,533 –> 00:13:10,356

[Lori Taylor]: though, Jackie, even as someone

and I’ve marketed and I’ve been trusted with

 

290

00:13:11,076 –> 00:13:15,740

[Lori Taylor]: innovation and downstream communication

strategies by all most of the vendors in the

 

291

00:13:15,760 –> 00:13:22,924

[Lori Taylor]: produce department and even within

fruit and vegetable and produce you have different

 

292

00:13:23,004 –> 00:13:28,468

[Lori Taylor]: echelons like there are certain

produce items that offer you nutrition and

 

293

00:13:28,728 –> 00:13:33,692

[Lori Taylor]: a comprehensive nutrition offering

that others don’t like when you think about

 

294

00:13:33,872 –> 00:13:37,374

[Lori Taylor]: the nutrition panel of a kiwi

fruit for instance bite for bite what you’re

 

295

00:13:37,394 –> 00:13:41,986

[Lori Taylor]: getting in fruit is tremendous

compared to many of the other fruit options

 

296

00:13:42,006 –> 00:13:44,112

[Lori Taylor]: that are in the produce department.

 

297

00:13:44,842 –> 00:13:49,806

[jackie]: Yes. Yeah. You know, that’s such a

good point. I, well, but I, but what I think,

 

298

00:13:49,986 –> 00:13:54,591

[jackie]: what I think is the confused component

of introducing the word superfood into all

 

299

00:13:54,651 –> 00:13:59,536

[jackie]: of this is that that’s exactly it.

Lori, like these, these different types of

 

300

00:13:59,576 –> 00:14:03,820

[jackie]: veggies and fruit bring different

benefits to the table. So I have been asked

 

301

00:14:03,840 –> 00:14:07,163

[jackie]: this and I can’t even tell you, I

just gave me a little flashback to this article

 

302

00:14:07,203 –> 00:14:09,705

[jackie]: that I wrote and I actually recently

updated.

 

303

00:14:10,462 –> 00:14:10,867

[Lori Taylor]: Oh good.

 

304

00:14:10,806 –> 00:14:15,609

[jackie]: for good housekeeping and it was about

like the healthiest fruit and veg. And I basically

 

305

00:14:15,629 –> 00:14:18,870

[jackie]: was like in the headline, like that’s

the headline because that’s, that’s the type

 

306

00:14:18,890 –> 00:14:21,012

[jackie]: of headline that, you know, sees

 

307

00:14:21,177 –> 00:14:21,298

[Lori Taylor]: the

 

308

00:14:21,272 –> 00:14:21,432

[jackie]: some

 

309

00:14:21,318 –> 00:14:21,681

[Lori Taylor]: internet

 

310

00:14:21,552 –> 00:14:22,132

[jackie]: ROI

 

311

00:14:21,721 –> 00:14:22,125

[Lori Taylor]: wants.

 

312

00:14:22,212 –> 00:14:22,392

[jackie]: from

 

313

00:14:22,246 –> 00:14:22,548

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

314

00:14:22,512 –> 00:14:22,933

[jackie]: exactly

 

315

00:14:22,629 –> 00:14:22,932

[Lori Taylor]: that’s,

 

316

00:14:22,993 –> 00:14:23,233

[jackie]: from the

 

317

00:14:23,154 –> 00:14:23,355

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

318

00:14:23,293 –> 00:14:28,596

[jackie]: internet. But the, the rest of the

introduction was basically like, there’s really

 

319

00:14:28,636 –> 00:14:30,037

[jackie]: no such thing as this. It’s just

 

320

00:14:29,963 –> 00:14:30,250

[Lori Taylor]: Okay.

 

321

00:14:30,077 –> 00:14:34,159

[jackie]: a question of the diversity and the

versatility and how often you’re going to eat

 

322

00:14:34,199 –> 00:14:38,181

[jackie]: it per on a personal level that really

makes the difference in all of this because

 

323

00:14:38,674 –> 00:14:42,995

[jackie]: You’re so right. Like I was once shocked

to learn that kiwi, and this is again back

 

324

00:14:43,035 –> 00:14:47,317

[jackie]: to the marketing, is that kiwi has,

kiwi is the perfect example because it’s one

 

325

00:14:47,337 –> 00:14:52,119

[jackie]: of these fruits that has double the

vitamin C of an orange, I want to say.

 

326

00:14:52,253 –> 00:14:52,594

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

327

00:14:52,259 –> 00:14:52,699

[jackie]: I hope I’m not

 

328

00:14:52,694 –> 00:14:52,835

[Lori Taylor]: and

 

329

00:14:52,759 –> 00:14:53,119

[jackie]: misquoting

 

330

00:14:53,036 –> 00:14:53,236

[Lori Taylor]: like

 

331

00:14:53,139 –> 00:14:53,300

[jackie]: that,

 

332

00:14:53,296 –> 00:14:53,337

[Lori Taylor]: I

 

333

00:14:53,320 –> 00:14:53,400

[jackie]: but

 

334

00:14:53,357 –> 00:14:53,557

[Lori Taylor]: think

 

335

00:14:53,420 –> 00:14:56,821

[jackie]: I’m pretty sure that’s true.

 

336

00:14:54,802 –> 00:14:56,909

[Lori Taylor]: two if not three X on potassium.

 

337

00:14:56,981 –> 00:14:57,601

[jackie]: Yes,

 

338

00:14:57,571 –> 00:14:57,832

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

339

00:14:57,841 –> 00:14:58,242

[jackie]: right.

 

340

00:14:57,972 –> 00:14:58,253

[Lori Taylor]: there’s,

 

341

00:14:58,402 –> 00:14:58,502

[jackie]: And

 

342

00:14:58,534 –> 00:14:58,755

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

343

00:14:58,562 –> 00:15:02,563

[jackie]: it’s like, it’s truly one of the most

nutritious, nutrient dense fruits that you

 

344

00:15:02,583 –> 00:15:06,805

[jackie]: can have. But does that matter to

someone that hates kiwi?

 

345

00:15:05,621 –> 00:15:06,583

[Lori Taylor]: No, no.

 

346

00:15:06,965 –> 00:15:07,265

[jackie]: Right?

 

347

00:15:07,064 –> 00:15:07,705

[Lori Taylor]: If you’re adverse

 

348

00:15:07,345 –> 00:15:07,685

[jackie]: And I mean…

 

349

00:15:07,725 –> 00:15:08,547

[Lori Taylor]: to the flavor, the

 

350

00:15:08,470 –> 00:15:09,370

[jackie]: Exactly.

 

351

00:15:08,587 –> 00:15:10,471

[Lori Taylor]: texture, no way. Yeah,

 

352

00:15:10,651 –> 00:15:10,731

[jackie]: And

 

353

00:15:10,652 –> 00:15:10,852

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

354

00:15:10,911 –> 00:15:14,314

[jackie]: I, you know, I’m not really, I’m in

the business of getting people to expand their

 

355

00:15:14,354 –> 00:15:17,656

[jackie]: thinking and ultimately to hopefully

expand their palates when it comes

 

356

00:15:17,509 –> 00:15:17,792

[Lori Taylor]: Right?

 

357

00:15:17,696 –> 00:15:18,977

[jackie]: to veggies and fruit. But

 

358

00:15:18,905 –> 00:15:19,128

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

359

00:15:19,337 –> 00:15:21,919

[jackie]: I’m not going to force someone to

eat something that they don’t like or have

 

360

00:15:21,939 –> 00:15:25,362

[jackie]: an aversion to, or just simply they

want to try something different or something

 

361

00:15:25,422 –> 00:15:29,084

[jackie]: is on sale for that week. That’s hugely

important, especially in the

 

362

00:15:29,022 –> 00:15:29,123

[Lori Taylor]: Oh,

 

363

00:15:29,124 –> 00:15:29,505

[jackie]: produce

 

364

00:15:29,204 –> 00:15:29,305

[Lori Taylor]: 100%.

 

365

00:15:29,545 –> 00:15:29,765

[jackie]: aisle

 

366

00:15:29,568 –> 00:15:29,670

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

367

00:15:30,125 –> 00:15:34,570

[jackie]: because We want to incentivize people

to just have more and just try different things

 

368

00:15:34,650 –> 00:15:35,090

[jackie]: and try

 

369

00:15:34,884 –> 00:15:35,136

[Lori Taylor]: Mm-hmm.

 

370

00:15:35,110 –> 00:15:40,556

[jackie]: a variety of things because you’re

going to get different nutrients from different

 

371

00:15:40,637 –> 00:15:41,798

[jackie]: types of produce.

 

372

00:15:41,316 –> 00:15:41,568

[Lori Taylor]: Well…

 

373

00:15:41,878 –> 00:15:44,901

[jackie]: There’s always gonna be a value add

of trying something new.

 

374

00:15:45,225 –> 00:15:50,406

[Lori Taylor]: Another one of my great mentors

who is also an RD, Alison Shake, formerly of

 

375

00:15:50,446 –> 00:15:57,108

[Lori Taylor]: Kroger, she also was the one

who helped me realize nutrition is so personalized.

 

376

00:15:57,568 –> 00:15:57,788

[Lori Taylor]: What is

 

377

00:15:57,727 –> 00:15:58,074

[jackie]: Yes.

 

378

00:15:57,828 –> 00:16:04,650

[Lori Taylor]: nutritious for you is not necessarily

nutritious for even another member in your

 

379

00:16:04,690 –> 00:16:05,210

[Lori Taylor]: family.

 

380

00:16:06,606 –> 00:16:06,932

[jackie]: So true.

 

381

00:16:07,431 –> 00:16:14,011

[Lori Taylor]: We all have personalized needs

as it relates to our nutrition. So those, you

 

382

00:16:14,031 –> 00:16:17,905

[Lori Taylor]: know, I guess folks right now,

we’re just kind of calling out things that.

 

383

00:16:19,433 –> 00:16:22,914

[Lori Taylor]: in my opinion, if we’re going

to have a, if I’m going to have a mini series

 

384

00:16:22,954 –> 00:16:25,575

[Lori Taylor]: dedicated to superfoods, we got

to poke holes in this theme

 

385

00:16:25,866 –> 00:16:26,289

[jackie]: Yes.

 

386

00:16:26,076 –> 00:16:30,538

[Lori Taylor]: and identify like what, and you

know, we’re on the heels Jackie of a food is

 

387

00:16:30,578 –> 00:16:32,339

[Lori Taylor]: medicine theme where we talked

about

 

388

00:16:32,031 –> 00:16:32,193

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

389

00:16:32,419 –> 00:16:38,862

[Lori Taylor]: how that is truly a movement

that is cross-op com on many different sectors

 

390

00:16:38,830 –> 00:16:38,892

[jackie]: Hmm.

 

391

00:16:40,082 –> 00:16:45,605

[Lori Taylor]: where, you know, we, we now have

a huge mobilization of things like produce

 

392

00:16:45,645 –> 00:16:47,846

[Lori Taylor]: prescriptions, medically tailored

meals, et cetera.

 

393

00:16:48,078 –> 00:16:48,139

[jackie]: Mm.

 

394

00:16:48,406 –> 00:16:53,650

[Lori Taylor]: And so you know following that

here on the podcast is really meant to help

 

395

00:16:53,710 –> 00:17:00,255

[Lori Taylor]: kind of I guess elaborate on

the concept of food as medicine what are foods

 

396

00:17:00,295 –> 00:17:04,458

[Lori Taylor]: that can provide some of those

you know healing properties

 

397

00:17:04,738 –> 00:17:04,778

[jackie]: Mm.

 

398

00:17:06,240 –> 00:17:11,124

[Lori Taylor]: but you know your role in this

series is to help me poke holes at it and call

 

399

00:17:11,204 –> 00:17:16,268

[Lori Taylor]: out the call out some of the

BS and help people understand like hey there’s

 

400

00:17:17,565 –> 00:17:20,086

[Lori Taylor]: All produce is really good for

you, and it’s not

 

401

00:17:20,027 –> 00:17:20,492

[jackie]: A thousand

 

402

00:17:20,126 –> 00:17:20,566

[Lori Taylor]: nutrition

 

403

00:17:20,533 –> 00:17:20,917

[jackie]: percent.

 

404

00:17:20,586 –> 00:17:24,827

[Lori Taylor]: until it’s eaten. And then when

you consult your book and you look at that

 

405

00:17:25,468 –> 00:17:29,729

[Lori Taylor]: on page 66, I mean, your

 

406

00:17:29,567 –> 00:17:29,849

[jackie]: I love

 

407

00:17:29,789 –> 00:17:30,089

[Lori Taylor]: line

 

408

00:17:29,869 –> 00:17:30,250

[jackie]: that Laurie

 

409

00:17:30,149 –> 00:17:30,310

[Lori Taylor]: is,

 

410

00:17:30,270 –> 00:17:31,395

[jackie]: is on to the text.

 

411

00:17:31,470 –> 00:17:31,630

[Lori Taylor]: the

 

412

00:17:31,556 –> 00:17:31,917

[jackie]: Yes.

 

413

00:17:31,730 –> 00:17:36,472

[Lori Taylor]: super fraud of super foods, file

this under quote, meaningless terms that are

 

414

00:17:36,552 –> 00:17:37,152

[Lori Taylor]: everywhere.

 

415

00:17:37,454 –> 00:17:42,939

[jackie]: Hmm. Yeah. I mean, here’s the thing.

I will say that like, if we were to kind of

 

416

00:17:42,979 –> 00:17:46,763

[jackie]: redefine this or to chalk this up

and, and I used, you know, in no small part,

 

417

00:17:46,883 –> 00:17:50,346

[jackie]: I used the dictionary definition because

I found it helpful, right? It’s to kind of

 

418

00:17:50,386 –> 00:17:51,227

[jackie]: bring it back to

 

419

00:17:51,287 –> 00:17:51,514

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

420

00:17:51,748 –> 00:17:56,412

[jackie]: what are some of these like three

categories that actually make sense from the

 

421

00:17:56,452 –> 00:18:01,017

[jackie]: standpoint of saying what’s what about

food and nutrition, because we can’t avoid

 

422

00:18:01,137 –> 00:18:04,839

[jackie]: facts about foods, right? I mean we

want people to be educated about that and we

 

423

00:18:04,879 –> 00:18:09,360

[jackie]: want transparency. I mean that’s my

main goal with anything. So if we had to kind

 

424

00:18:09,380 –> 00:18:13,062

[jackie]: of redefine this I would give it three

main bucket categories.

 

425

00:18:12,814 –> 00:18:13,003

[Lori Taylor]: Okay.

 

426

00:18:13,802 –> 00:18:20,245

[jackie]: The first one would be plant foods

in their whole food form. So any foods that

 

427

00:18:20,285 –> 00:18:25,112

[jackie]: we can chew can be super. in some

way, right? It might be super emotionally comforting.

 

428

00:18:25,152 –> 00:18:30,196

[jackie]: It might be super from a nutritional

standpoint, but in particular, what I’m defining

 

429

00:18:30,216 –> 00:18:34,620

[jackie]: in this category is any vegetable

or fruit, any legume pulse crop, like chickpea,

 

430

00:18:34,660 –> 00:18:40,304

[jackie]: lentil, beans, peas, nuts and seeds,

a hundred percent whole grains, plant, like

 

431

00:18:40,664 –> 00:18:47,009

[jackie]: not vegetable seed or legume based

oils or any mix of those when used for actual.

 

432

00:18:47,150 –> 00:18:51,692

[jackie]: cooking purposes, right? Anything

that’s in its whole food state that’s used

 

433

00:18:51,712 –> 00:18:56,535

[jackie]: to either enhance flavor, make it

easier to cook that food so that you can have

 

434

00:18:56,575 –> 00:19:01,598

[jackie]: it in a different form or that food

itself and it’s raw form. So plants in just

 

435

00:19:01,638 –> 00:19:07,161

[jackie]: their whole food form provide optimal

nutrient composition for both short-term and

 

436

00:19:07,201 –> 00:19:12,143

[jackie]: long-term health and for weight management.

And the more that you have these foods in your

 

437

00:19:12,384 –> 00:19:19,325

[jackie]: everyday eating pattern, the more

super foodie. the more superfood filled your

 

438

00:19:19,585 –> 00:19:22,208

[jackie]: overall dietary pattern will be.

 

439

00:19:21,412 –> 00:19:21,685

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

440

00:19:22,268 –> 00:19:26,612

[jackie]: Now that being said, there’s two others.

The other one I would put into this category

 

441

00:19:26,632 –> 00:19:31,317

[jackie]: is plant-based ingredients with which

you cook or caffeinate. So spices, herbs, these

 

442

00:19:31,337 –> 00:19:36,442

[jackie]: can also have a ton of super quote-unquote

properties. Across the research though, we

 

443

00:19:36,482 –> 00:19:40,405

[jackie]: find that a lot of the promising studies

are the ones that look at an association, right?

 

444

00:19:40,445 –> 00:19:44,008

[jackie]: Like population studies, meaning that

their benefits are also better illustrated

 

445

00:19:44,368 –> 00:19:46,810

[jackie]: in the context of dietary patterns.

So

 

446

00:19:47,037 –> 00:19:47,377

[Lori Taylor]: Okay.

 

447

00:19:47,851 –> 00:19:48,011

[jackie]: like

 

448

00:19:47,998 –> 00:19:48,158

[Lori Taylor]: Help

 

449

00:19:48,171 –> 00:19:48,291

[jackie]: I

 

450

00:19:48,199 –> 00:19:49,501

[Lori Taylor]: me understand.

 

451

00:19:48,351 –> 00:19:49,132

[jackie]: use the example.

 

452

00:19:50,302 –> 00:19:51,103

[Lori Taylor]: That’s interesting.

 

453

00:19:50,693 –> 00:19:54,656

[jackie]: Yeah. A great example of this is something

like turmeric, right? Like turmeric

 

454

00:19:54,377 –> 00:19:54,598

[Lori Taylor]: Oh,

 

455

00:19:54,676 –> 00:19:54,877

[jackie]: gets

 

456

00:19:54,678 –> 00:19:54,959

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

457

00:19:54,977 –> 00:19:56,838

[jackie]: so much press for being,

 

458

00:19:56,502 –> 00:19:56,743

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

459

00:19:57,038 –> 00:19:57,779

[jackie]: you know, so wonderful.

 

460

00:19:57,505 –> 00:19:58,507

[Lori Taylor]: Anti-inflammatory.

 

461

00:19:58,600 –> 00:19:59,220

[jackie]: Exactly.

 

462

00:19:58,708 –> 00:19:58,888

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

463

00:19:59,380 –> 00:20:03,339

[jackie]: And anti-inflammatory properties.

If you look at where this has really been studied

 

464

00:20:03,379 –> 00:20:07,463

[jackie]: and where it’s the most promising,

where the best research and the most well-powered

 

465

00:20:07,503 –> 00:20:13,828

[jackie]: research has occurred so far. And

that is when you look at populations that consume

 

466

00:20:13,968 –> 00:20:17,351

[jackie]: greater amounts of turmeric. So in

Indian populations where curry

 

467

00:20:16,997 –> 00:20:17,218

[Lori Taylor]: Sure.

 

468

00:20:17,411 –> 00:20:19,513

[jackie]: is like a primary cuisine

 

469

00:20:19,108 –> 00:20:19,349

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

470

00:20:19,553 –> 00:20:26,299

[jackie]: staple, you’re looking at the overall

context of dietary patterns. Lots of veggies,

 

471

00:20:26,599 –> 00:20:27,600

[jackie]: plant-based foods,

 

472

00:20:28,385 –> 00:20:28,668

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

473

00:20:28,681 –> 00:20:29,421

[jackie]: not the type of…

 

474

00:20:29,678 –> 00:20:29,880

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

475

00:20:29,742 –> 00:20:34,546

[jackie]: plant based that becomes Franken meat,

right? Like real whole food plants that we

 

476

00:20:34,566 –> 00:20:36,648

[jackie]: were talking about in the part one

of the definition, right?

 

477

00:20:36,677 –> 00:20:36,928

[Lori Taylor]: Sure.

 

478

00:20:37,028 –> 00:20:41,352

[jackie]: So as long as you can use these ingredients,

like when I’m talking about plants, herbs,

 

479

00:20:41,392 –> 00:20:46,117

[jackie]: spices, that become ingredients with

which you cook or caffeinate, what I’m talking

 

480

00:20:46,137 –> 00:20:52,843

[jackie]: about is ways that you can enhance

flavor or make it simpler for you to add flavor

 

481

00:20:52,923 –> 00:20:56,800

[jackie]: and to make those meals and snacks

that you really love. and make those ingredients

 

482

00:20:56,821 –> 00:20:59,368

[jackie]: that you really love into actual meals.

It’s really

 

483

00:20:59,258 –> 00:20:59,531

[Lori Taylor]: Wow.

 

484

00:20:59,408 –> 00:21:03,138

[jackie]: about the cooking process there and

less about the ingredients itself. So like

 

485

00:21:03,029 –> 00:21:03,329

[Lori Taylor]: I never

 

486

00:21:03,158 –> 00:21:03,399

[jackie]: when I

 

487

00:21:03,370 –> 00:21:03,670

[Lori Taylor]: thought

 

488

00:21:03,439 –> 00:21:04,001

[jackie]: see people.

 

489

00:21:03,911 –> 00:21:06,497

[Lori Taylor]: of the concept of superfoods

from that lens.

 

490

00:21:06,782 –> 00:21:07,582

[jackie]: Right? I

 

491

00:21:07,600 –> 00:21:07,800

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

492

00:21:07,602 –> 00:21:10,983

[jackie]: know it’s interesting because it’s

really like that’s one where I see so many

 

493

00:21:11,003 –> 00:21:14,984

[jackie]: people talking about, oh, what a super

turmeric, such a super food or like ginger,

 

494

00:21:15,024 –> 00:21:16,144

[jackie]: such a super food. When you

 

495

00:21:16,083 –> 00:21:16,247

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

496

00:21:16,184 –> 00:21:20,506

[jackie]: think about it, these are, these are

herbs, these are spices that we use to flavor

 

497

00:21:20,926 –> 00:21:23,167

[jackie]: already nutritious foods. And

 

498

00:21:23,096 –> 00:21:23,243

[Lori Taylor]: Right.

 

499

00:21:23,207 –> 00:21:28,248

[jackie]: you think about the overall patterns

and the populations in which these, the consumption

 

500

00:21:28,328 –> 00:21:32,778

[jackie]: of these ingredients is much higher.

And it makes complete sense. right? Because

 

501

00:21:32,818 –> 00:21:33,398

[jackie]: the overall

 

502

00:21:33,155 –> 00:21:33,344

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

503

00:21:33,438 –> 00:21:37,879

[jackie]: pattern is more nutrient dense. You’re

using these as flavor enhancers to consume

 

504

00:21:37,939 –> 00:21:41,640

[jackie]: foods that are also nutritious. And

then you get this kind of double whammy effect

 

505

00:21:41,840 –> 00:21:46,502

[jackie]: of wonder of super foodness.

 

506

00:21:45,049 –> 00:21:45,939

[Lori Taylor]: Sir, sir.

 

507

00:21:46,582 –> 00:21:50,743

[jackie]: And then my last category would be

plant-based ingredients that service fuel for

 

508

00:21:50,883 –> 00:21:55,625

[jackie]: animal and particularly marine protein

sources that you eat. So seafood across the

 

509

00:21:55,645 –> 00:22:00,955

[jackie]: board, I would call that super. But,

and of course there’s, there are some exceptions

 

510

00:22:01,035 –> 00:22:05,337

[jackie]: always to this rule, but the main

reason is because animals are eating plants,

 

511

00:22:05,497 –> 00:22:05,917

[jackie]: right? I mean,

 

512

00:22:05,965 –> 00:22:06,133

[Lori Taylor]: Mm-hmm.

 

513

00:22:06,157 –> 00:22:11,900

[jackie]: that’s also ultimately what we’re

getting back to is plants. The more plants

 

514

00:22:12,380 –> 00:22:17,443

[jackie]: that you, or the food that you eat

consumes, the more nutrient dense food becomes.

 

515

00:22:17,483 –> 00:22:21,625

[jackie]: So while I talk a lot about plants,

I’m by no means, uh, you know, a

 

516

00:22:21,481 –> 00:22:22,322

[Lori Taylor]: No, not at

 

517

00:22:22,265 –> 00:22:23,025

[jackie]: galvanizing

 

518

00:22:22,362 –> 00:22:23,764

[Lori Taylor]: all. You’ve never

 

519

00:22:23,085 –> 00:22:23,265

[jackie]: for

 

520

00:22:23,804 –> 00:22:29,752

[Lori Taylor]: been a voice of authority that

promotes an exclusionary diet or… Never.

 

521

00:22:29,992 –> 00:22:30,713

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

522

00:22:30,297 –> 00:22:30,820

[jackie]: Exactly.

 

523

00:22:30,933 –> 00:22:31,374

[Lori Taylor]: that’s

 

524

00:22:31,322 –> 00:22:32,226

[jackie]: So really, I’m

 

525

00:22:32,195 –> 00:22:32,295

[Lori Taylor]: one

 

526

00:22:32,246 –> 00:22:32,608

[jackie]: talking

 

527

00:22:32,315 –> 00:22:32,556

[Lori Taylor]: reason

 

528

00:22:32,648 –> 00:22:32,889

[jackie]: about.

 

529

00:22:33,096 –> 00:22:34,378

[Lori Taylor]: I’m so inspired by you.

 

530

00:22:35,042 –> 00:22:35,982

[jackie]: Thank you, Lori. I mean,

 

531

00:22:35,860 –> 00:22:36,080

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

532

00:22:36,142 –> 00:22:39,684

[jackie]: yeah, no, that’s the whole point is

to make it more about inclusion. What can you

 

533

00:22:39,724 –> 00:22:43,086

[jackie]: include more of? So if you’re, you

know, and I would say that the best way to

 

534

00:22:43,126 –> 00:22:46,008

[jackie]: think about that, if you’re listening

to this now and a little confused by that third

 

535

00:22:46,048 –> 00:22:49,910

[jackie]: point is what are your, what does,

what does the food that you like to consume?

 

536

00:22:50,030 –> 00:22:54,212

[jackie]: If it’s beef, if it’s seafood, if

it’s chicken, if it’s poultry, just make sure,

 

537

00:22:54,492 –> 00:22:58,134

[jackie]: make those conscious choices that

you’re looking for things that, that you would

 

538

00:22:58,174 –> 00:23:03,157

[jackie]: like to see in growing practices and

agricultural practices. Because ultimately

 

539

00:23:03,537 –> 00:23:07,040

[jackie]: that that matters when you’re looking

for an overall health promoting pattern of

 

540

00:23:07,060 –> 00:23:09,265

[jackie]: eating as well. Now, I wouldn’t say

that to the

 

541

00:23:09,221 –> 00:23:09,381

[Lori Taylor]: I’m

 

542

00:23:09,305 –> 00:23:10,928

[jackie]: exclusion.

 

543

00:23:09,401 –> 00:23:10,981

[Lori Taylor]: so glad you said this. You know

 

544

00:23:10,989 –> 00:23:11,289

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

545

00:23:11,021 –> 00:23:15,682

[Lori Taylor]: why? Because in our introductory,

like not the intro episode where I like, hey,

 

546

00:23:15,702 –> 00:23:16,783

[Lori Taylor]: we got a new theme, but our very

 

547

00:23:16,684 –> 00:23:16,894

[jackie]: Right.

 

548

00:23:16,803 –> 00:23:24,245

[Lori Taylor]: first guest episode was Baobab

fruit. I don’t know if you’re familiar with

 

549

00:23:24,305 –> 00:23:24,425

[Lori Taylor]: it.

 

550

00:23:24,869 –> 00:23:26,091

[jackie]: Oh yes, Baobab?

 

551

00:23:26,285 –> 00:23:27,646

[Lori Taylor]: Baobab, I need to

 

552

00:23:27,593 –> 00:23:27,653

[jackie]: I

 

553

00:23:27,666 –> 00:23:27,766

[Lori Taylor]: go

 

554

00:23:27,693 –> 00:23:27,853

[jackie]: don’t

 

555

00:23:27,806 –> 00:23:28,066

[Lori Taylor]: back

 

556

00:23:27,893 –> 00:23:28,094

[jackie]: know.

 

557

00:23:28,106 –> 00:23:29,226

[Lori Taylor]: to my notes and

 

558

00:23:29,936 –> 00:23:30,357

[jackie]: Yes,

 

559

00:23:30,066 –> 00:23:30,867

[Lori Taylor]: look up the phonetic

 

560

00:23:30,577 –> 00:23:30,918

[jackie]: someone

 

561

00:23:30,907 –> 00:23:31,247

[Lori Taylor]: spelling.

 

562

00:23:30,958 –> 00:23:32,800

[jackie]: correct us.

 

563

00:23:32,287 –> 00:23:33,907

[Lori Taylor]: The Western Africa fruit that

 

564

00:23:34,082 –> 00:23:34,463

[jackie]: Yes.

 

565

00:23:34,267 –> 00:23:36,288

[Lori Taylor]: made its debut when Rafiki,

 

566

00:23:36,165 –> 00:23:36,525

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

567

00:23:38,009 –> 00:23:41,674

[Lori Taylor]: put the red stripe on Simba Cub’s

head. OK,

 

568

00:23:40,850 –> 00:23:41,252

[jackie]: Yes.

 

569

00:23:42,294 –> 00:23:42,655

[Lori Taylor]: that’s where

 

570

00:23:42,538 –> 00:23:42,920

[jackie]: Correct.

 

571

00:23:42,695 –> 00:23:48,683

[Lori Taylor]: most people know it. But there’s

a lot of regenerative agriculture values for

 

572

00:23:48,743 –> 00:23:55,381

[Lori Taylor]: this fruit in particular. And

I like. And I never thought of prior to that

 

573

00:23:55,421 –> 00:24:01,183

[Lori Taylor]: episode, I never thought of superfoods

with the agriculture lens either.

 

574

00:24:01,229 –> 00:24:01,371

[jackie]: Mmm.

 

575

00:24:01,883 –> 00:24:02,324

[Lori Taylor]: Like, you

 

576

00:24:02,285 –> 00:24:02,528

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

577

00:24:02,344 –> 00:24:06,245

[Lori Taylor]: know, the values of agriculture

and, but that I’m glad that you said it because

 

578

00:24:06,265 –> 00:24:11,566

[Lori Taylor]: it kind of, kind of goes back

folks to what we discussed in the episode with

 

579

00:24:12,127 –> 00:24:15,308

[Lori Taylor]: Jeff from Tiga, which was just

a couple, you know, scroll back a couple weeks.

 

580

00:24:15,388 –> 00:24:15,628

[Lori Taylor]: But

 

581

00:24:17,282 –> 00:24:17,542

[jackie]: I will

 

582

00:24:17,468 –> 00:24:17,948

[Lori Taylor]: interesting.

 

583

00:24:17,562 –> 00:24:21,123

[jackie]: say Lori like I tend to be a bit of

a purist in this and I say I

 

584

00:24:21,238 –> 00:24:21,400

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

585

00:24:21,663 –> 00:24:25,384

[jackie]: that’s why I keep it limited when

I say that because as much as I’m interested

 

586

00:24:25,424 –> 00:24:31,006

[jackie]: in regenerative god I wish it wasn’t

so hard to say regenerative agriculture and

 

587

00:24:31,066 –> 00:24:34,607

[jackie]: it’s such an area of interest for

me it’s a passion of mine when I’m talking

 

588

00:24:34,627 –> 00:24:36,588

[jackie]: about the human health benefits

 

589

00:24:36,837 –> 00:24:38,993

[Lori Taylor]: Mm-hmm.

 

590

00:24:37,168 –> 00:24:39,509

[jackie]: I try to keep it as simple as possible

because

 

591

00:24:39,013 –> 00:24:39,456

[Lori Taylor]: You have to.

 

592

00:24:40,149 –> 00:24:44,883

[jackie]: you have to and also because I think

people are smart enough to realize that there

 

593

00:24:44,943 –> 00:24:49,585

[jackie]: are some things that we do and personal

choices that we make for our own personal,

 

594

00:24:49,645 –> 00:24:54,128

[jackie]: physical, and emotional, psychological

health and well-being and choices that we might

 

595

00:24:54,168 –> 00:24:59,151

[jackie]: make that have to do with the planet.

Those can be mutually exclusive, but they don’t

 

596

00:24:59,331 –> 00:25:02,993

[jackie]: have to be. And that’s the thing.

Like I don’t, I wouldn’t want to push someone

 

597

00:25:03,353 –> 00:25:07,856

[jackie]: to make a choice to consume a certain

type of food because simply because of its

 

598

00:25:08,076 –> 00:25:13,395

[jackie]: proposed benefits for the planet,

because we can always find sort of counterfactual

 

599

00:25:13,415 –> 00:25:15,116

[jackie]: to that. We can always find the

 

600

00:25:14,877 –> 00:25:15,301

[Lori Taylor]: Always.

 

601

00:25:15,196 –> 00:25:15,796

[jackie]: sort of like

 

602

00:25:15,563 –> 00:25:15,805

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

603

00:25:16,177 –> 00:25:16,637

[jackie]: antidote

 

604

00:25:16,511 –> 00:25:16,793

[Lori Taylor]: Always.

 

605

00:25:16,677 –> 00:25:21,460

[jackie]: to that. So I’m always careful to

do that, but I appreciate that point too, which

 

606

00:25:21,480 –> 00:25:26,124

[jackie]: is that like sometimes things may

have super benefits because they’re super for

 

607

00:25:26,184 –> 00:25:30,767

[jackie]: other things, but let’s be clear that

that’s not necessarily a

 

608

00:25:30,765 –> 00:25:31,205

[Lori Taylor]: That doesn’t

 

609

00:25:31,047 –> 00:25:31,467

[jackie]: talking

 

610

00:25:31,225 –> 00:25:31,886

[Lori Taylor]: necessarily,

 

611

00:25:31,507 –> 00:25:32,128

[jackie]: point for what

 

612

00:25:32,087 –> 00:25:32,347

[Lori Taylor]: yeah,

 

613

00:25:32,168 –> 00:25:32,828

[jackie]: it means for

 

614

00:25:32,788 –> 00:25:32,928

[Lori Taylor]: for

 

615

00:25:32,888 –> 00:25:33,168

[jackie]: human

 

616

00:25:32,968 –> 00:25:33,649

[Lori Taylor]: nutrition,

 

617

00:25:33,188 –> 00:25:33,489

[jackie]: health.

 

618

00:25:33,829 –> 00:25:34,150

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

619

00:25:34,009 –> 00:25:35,510

[jackie]: Exactly.

 

620

00:25:34,871 –> 00:25:35,352

[Lori Taylor]: Right, OK.

 

621

00:25:36,151 –> 00:25:40,313

[jackie]: A lot of people in the nutrition marketing

space have been keen to do that recently.

 

622

00:25:41,065 –> 00:25:43,648

[Lori Taylor]: Well, you know, it’s the hot

it’s one of those hot new terms

 

623

00:25:43,838 –> 00:25:43,999

[jackie]: Yes,

 

624

00:25:43,848 –> 00:25:44,409

[Lori Taylor]: and food

 

625

00:25:44,240 –> 00:25:44,581

[jackie]: it is.

 

626

00:25:44,429 –> 00:25:48,934

[Lori Taylor]: marketing is regenerative agriculture

And as you and I both know, it’s just a matter

 

627

00:25:48,994 –> 00:25:54,441

[Lori Taylor]: of time before there’s going

to be a cheeto that is manufactured as a regeneratively

 

628

00:25:55,141 –> 00:25:56,363

[Lori Taylor]: sourced cheeto

 

629

00:25:56,246 –> 00:25:57,865

[jackie]: Yes, you’re so right.

 

630

00:25:58,037 –> 00:26:01,498

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah, I know I’m right. We’ve,

you and I’ve talked about it, and anyone who’s

 

631

00:26:01,538 –> 00:26:03,859

[Lori Taylor]: shopped in the grocery store

has seen this. I was at

 

632

00:26:03,885 –> 00:26:04,116

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

633

00:26:03,899 –> 00:26:09,202

[Lori Taylor]: the sales desk, folks, selling

fruits and vegetables when organic foods were

 

634

00:26:09,222 –> 00:26:14,884

[Lori Taylor]: on the rise. And we’re very much

like Jackie. We believe all fruits and vegetables

 

635

00:26:15,445 –> 00:26:19,607

[Lori Taylor]: are good for you. We’re totally

agnostic here at the Produce Moms as it relates

 

636

00:26:19,627 –> 00:26:24,409

[Lori Taylor]: to how those foods are, how those

fruits and vegetables are farmed or cultivated.

 

637

00:26:24,909 –> 00:26:30,272

[Lori Taylor]: Our job at the Produce Moms is

to help and the defined terms with each and

 

638

00:26:30,312 –> 00:26:34,515

[Lori Taylor]: every one of those farming styles.

And regenerative agriculture is another one

 

639

00:26:34,535 –> 00:26:42,440

[Lori Taylor]: of those terms where we don’t

have a comprehensive definition or even regulatory,

 

640

00:26:42,660 –> 00:26:43,581

[Lori Taylor]: you know, is still

 

641

00:26:43,582 –> 00:26:44,004

[jackie]: Anything.

 

642

00:26:43,621 –> 00:26:49,285

[Lori Taylor]: very gray as it relates to regenerative

ag, despite the fact that things like, you

 

643

00:26:49,305 –> 00:26:53,107

[Lori Taylor]: know, certifications are emerging

and we’re not dismissing the importance of

 

644

00:26:53,167 –> 00:26:56,450

[Lori Taylor]: it by any means. I mean, we’re

a certified B Corp at the Produce Moms. We

 

645

00:26:56,470 –> 00:26:56,850

[Lori Taylor]: believe

 

646

00:26:56,868 –> 00:26:57,193

[jackie]: Right.

 

647

00:26:56,890 –> 00:27:02,494

[Lori Taylor]: in… believe in environmental

responsibility, social responsibility, and

 

648

00:27:02,854 –> 00:27:07,958

[Lori Taylor]: regenerative agriculture touches

on both of those. But it is important to call,

 

649

00:27:08,578 –> 00:27:13,062

[Lori Taylor]: again, I’ve got my friend Jackie

  1. We’re here to poke holes in shit, folks.

 

650

00:27:13,102 –> 00:27:13,242

[Lori Taylor]: That’s

 

651

00:27:13,226 –> 00:27:13,286

[jackie]: I

 

652

00:27:13,262 –> 00:27:13,362

[Lori Taylor]: what

 

653

00:27:13,346 –> 00:27:13,507

[jackie]: love

 

654

00:27:13,402 –> 00:27:13,622

[Lori Taylor]: we do.

 

655

00:27:13,587 –> 00:27:18,362

[jackie]: it. We’re here to poke holes in shit.

If we could name this episode Malagory, I think

 

656

00:27:18,402 –> 00:27:18,844

[jackie]: that’s it.

 

657

00:27:21,254 –> 00:27:25,859

[Lori Taylor]: Okay, so Jackie, I’ve got one

question for you and I on purpose kind of embargoed

 

658

00:27:25,879 –> 00:27:30,123

[Lori Taylor]: this question after we’ve had

some fun discussing your passions and insights

 

659

00:27:30,223 –> 00:27:35,648

[Lori Taylor]: on this topic. But the question

that we’re asking all of our guests on this

 

660

00:27:35,708 –> 00:27:39,272

[Lori Taylor]: little mini series of superfoods

is how do you define superfoods?

 

661

00:27:41,990 –> 00:27:46,674

[jackie]: I define, I’m going to go with part

dictionary definition

 

662

00:27:47,160 –> 00:27:47,388

[Lori Taylor]: Okay.

 

663

00:27:47,194 –> 00:27:50,377

[jackie]: and part my own version of the dictionary

definition, right?

 

664

00:27:50,297 –> 00:27:50,507

[Lori Taylor]: Good.

 

665

00:27:50,717 –> 00:27:55,401

[jackie]: So real whole foods, I’m going to

start with that. So if you see superfood on

 

666

00:27:55,562 –> 00:28:00,206

[jackie]: anything that is, uh, I don’t want

to see it on a juice. Okay. Because you’re

 

667

00:28:00,226 –> 00:28:04,950

[jackie]: not chewing a juice. You’re not, you’re

not consuming nutrients in the same way. that

 

668

00:28:04,990 –> 00:28:08,351

[jackie]: you would a real whole food. Now there

are plenty of people in my industry that would

 

669

00:28:08,371 –> 00:28:12,414

[jackie]: disagree with me on that. That’s okay,

I’m happy to disagree on that. But what I’m

 

670

00:28:12,454 –> 00:28:16,916

[jackie]: looking at is the overall nutrient

quality and nutrient density of that product.

 

671

00:28:17,196 –> 00:28:21,539

[jackie]: Yes, juice can be great for certain

contexts and for some people and for it, depending

 

672

00:28:21,619 –> 00:28:25,861

[jackie]: on what your financial situation is,

it might be your only way to get veggies and

 

673

00:28:25,881 –> 00:28:30,063

[jackie]: fruit. I understand all of those things,

but for our purposes and for getting people

 

674

00:28:30,083 –> 00:28:35,571

[jackie]: to consume more real whole foods,

I’m gonna define it as as I see it, which is

 

675

00:28:35,692 –> 00:28:39,118

[jackie]: things that you actually chew. So

real wholesome foods that you actually chew

 

676

00:28:40,220 –> 00:28:45,369

[jackie]: that provide fiber, antioxidants,

essential fatty acids, period.

 

677

00:28:46,805 –> 00:28:47,919

[Lori Taylor]: Love it. We’ve.

 

678

00:28:47,842 –> 00:28:49,563

[jackie]: And I’m going to add one more thing,

Lori.

 

679

00:28:50,073 –> 00:28:50,621

[Lori Taylor]: Please!

 

680

00:28:50,364 –> 00:28:54,607

[jackie]: I’m also going to define it. I’m going

to repeat this like a broken record, but they’re

 

681

00:28:54,627 –> 00:28:59,891

[jackie]: foods that for you, that are ones

that you enjoy eating so that you consume them

 

682

00:28:59,931 –> 00:29:05,275

[jackie]: consistently and become a part of

an overall dietary pattern and therefore an

 

683

00:29:05,355 –> 00:29:08,537

[jackie]: overall context for you that make

it nutritious for you.

 

684

00:29:10,154 –> 00:29:10,755

[Lori Taylor]: Okay. Boom,

 

685

00:29:10,902 –> 00:29:11,205

[jackie]: period

 

686

00:29:10,996 –> 00:29:11,236

[Lori Taylor]: mic

 

687

00:29:11,246 –> 00:29:11,327

[jackie]: on

 

688

00:29:11,256 –> 00:29:11,677

[Lori Taylor]: drop.

 

689

00:29:11,367 –> 00:29:11,670

[jackie]: that one.

 

690

00:29:12,078 –> 00:29:14,662

[Lori Taylor]: All right, do we even need to

continue the series, folks? I

 

691

00:29:14,646 –> 00:29:15,191

[jackie]: We

 

692

00:29:14,702 –> 00:29:15,203

[Lori Taylor]: don’t know. Ha

 

693

00:29:15,211 –> 00:29:15,352

[jackie]: are.

 

694

00:29:15,223 –> 00:29:15,884

[Lori Taylor]: ha ha.

 

695

00:29:18,961 –> 00:29:19,881

[Lori Taylor]: Um, well, no,

 

696

00:29:19,842 –> 00:29:20,007

[jackie]: What’s

 

697

00:29:19,901 –> 00:29:20,061

[Lori Taylor]: this

 

698

00:29:20,090 –> 00:29:20,172

[jackie]: it?

 

699

00:29:20,121 –> 00:29:24,522

[Lori Taylor]: is, this has been a great discussion.

Um, I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Jackie,

 

700

00:29:24,542 –> 00:29:28,003

[Lori Taylor]: before we, we close out today’s

show, I want to, I want to talk a little bit

 

701

00:29:28,043 –> 00:29:31,264

[Lori Taylor]: more about what’s ahead for you.

Make sure that everyone knows where they can

 

702

00:29:31,304 –> 00:29:34,885

[Lori Taylor]: connect with you. Um, you know,

tell them a little bit more about your podcast.

 

703

00:29:35,045 –> 00:29:39,106

[Lori Taylor]: I’m telling you folks, you will

be entertained. It’s kind of, it’s kind of

 

704

00:29:39,146 –> 00:29:43,187

[Lori Taylor]: like a edgier, more fun version

of the produce moms podcast in a way.

 

705

00:29:45,110 –> 00:29:48,532

[jackie]: Well, I have had great inspiration

from you, Lori. Yes.

 

706

00:29:48,357 –> 00:29:48,777

[Lori Taylor]: Ha ha!

 

707

00:29:48,612 –> 00:29:52,656

[jackie]: So definitely find me the business

of the podcast is called the business of wellness.

 

708

00:29:52,676 –> 00:29:56,739

[jackie]: You can find it wherever you listen,

of course. Um, and my main goal with it is

 

709

00:29:56,759 –> 00:30:02,443

[jackie]: to take deep dives into specific areas

of the wellness industry. Um, both from the

 

710

00:30:02,563 –> 00:30:07,668

[jackie]: standpoint of real wellness industry

experts, like myself, like other dietitians,

 

711

00:30:07,828 –> 00:30:12,759

[jackie]: practitioners, uh, physicians. and

also from the standpoint of business owners,

 

712

00:30:12,899 –> 00:30:16,821

[jackie]: real everyday business owners who

are looking for those, for that advice, for

 

713

00:30:16,841 –> 00:30:20,983

[jackie]: those solutions from practitioners.

So to kind of bring those two things together

 

714

00:30:21,404 –> 00:30:25,826

[jackie]: and have a real honest, frank conversation

about what wellness actually is and what it’s

 

715

00:30:25,886 –> 00:30:28,147

[jackie]: not, because there’s a lot of things

it’s not.

 

716

00:30:29,090 –> 00:30:29,357

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

717

00:30:29,388 –> 00:30:33,815

[jackie]: But I will leave that as the teaser.

Um, and you can check it out again. It’s called

 

718

00:30:33,835 –> 00:30:37,778

[jackie]: the business of wellness and, um,

[jackie]: on all social platforms.

 

728

00:31:04,266 –> 00:31:09,631

[Lori Taylor]: I love it. Well, and you know

what, Jackie? As we have had all these discussions

 

729

00:31:09,651 –> 00:31:12,093

[Lori Taylor]: with the Food as Medicine, and

I attended the Food as Medicine summit as a

 

730

00:31:12,153 –> 00:31:17,197

[Lori Taylor]: delegate, and that’s kind of

what started this whole, you know, now we’re

 

731

00:31:17,417 –> 00:31:21,040

[Lori Taylor]: two mini-series deep into kind

of a similar topic here. But

 

732

00:31:21,142 –> 00:31:21,449

[jackie]: Love it.

 

733

00:31:22,982 –> 00:31:27,306

[Lori Taylor]: I kind of feel like it’s the

registered dietician’s golden hour right now.

 

734

00:31:27,466 –> 00:31:28,026

[Lori Taylor]: Like, people are

 

735

00:31:28,022 –> 00:31:28,163

[jackie]: Oh,

 

736

00:31:28,106 –> 00:31:29,367

[Lori Taylor]: really realizing.

 

737

00:31:29,729 –> 00:31:31,135

[jackie]: happy to hear that. Hope that’s

 

738

00:31:31,122 –> 00:31:31,162

[Lori Taylor]: I

 

739

00:31:31,175 –> 00:31:31,416

[jackie]: true.

 

740

00:31:31,202 –> 00:31:37,065

[Lori Taylor]: do feel like people are recognizing

that. You know what? as much as we all love

 

741

00:31:37,085 –> 00:31:47,130

[Lori Taylor]: our doctors and need them, they

don’t have the capacity nor the education requirements

 

742

00:31:47,650 –> 00:31:48,831

[Lori Taylor]: to

 

743

00:31:47,668 –> 00:31:47,935

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

744

00:31:48,891 –> 00:31:55,814

[Lori Taylor]: really understand nutrition the

way that most patients and the broader consumer

 

745

00:31:56,554 –> 00:31:59,156

[Lori Taylor]: public population needs that

guidance on.

 

746

00:32:00,628 –> 00:32:01,076

[jackie]: So true.

 

747

00:32:05,479 –> 00:32:12,801

[Lori Taylor]: for patient care. And certainly

in the food industry, they’ve been a primary

 

748

00:32:12,841 –> 00:32:16,142

[Lori Taylor]: stakeholder in the food industry

for years. But I do think that there’s a heightened

 

749

00:32:16,182 –> 00:32:21,124

[Lori Taylor]: awareness from a downstream point

of view, like the household level point of

 

750

00:32:21,164 –> 00:32:21,444

[Lori Taylor]: view.

 

751

00:32:21,388 –> 00:32:22,590

[jackie]: I love to hear that. That

 

752

00:32:22,484 –> 00:32:22,784

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

753

00:32:22,630 –> 00:32:26,617

[jackie]: makes me so happy. Because we weren’t,

let me tell you, myself and others, we worry

 

754

00:32:26,637 –> 00:32:27,679

[jackie]: about this a lot because

 

755

00:32:28,045 –> 00:32:28,390

[Lori Taylor]: Mm-hmm.

 

756

00:32:28,059 –> 00:32:32,607

[jackie]: we have, we’re up against quite a

mountain in Washington of lobbying.

 

757

00:32:32,981 –> 00:32:38,044

[Lori Taylor]: Well, not only that, but you’ve

got people who are nutrition aficionados,

 

758

00:32:37,982 –> 00:32:38,728

[jackie]: Yes,

 

759

00:32:38,264 –> 00:32:38,784

[Lori Taylor]: who

 

760

00:32:39,212 –> 00:32:39,676

[jackie]: yes.

 

761

00:32:39,765 –> 00:32:41,366

[Lori Taylor]: with the gift of

 

762

00:32:42,015 –> 00:32:42,563

[jackie]: Exactly.

 

763

00:32:42,627 –> 00:32:45,849

[Lori Taylor]: content creation and digital

media, anyone

 

764

00:32:45,868 –> 00:32:46,158

[jackie]: Right.

 

765

00:32:46,269 –> 00:32:50,071

[Lori Taylor]: can portray themselves as a voice

of authority and an expert.

 

766

00:32:50,722 –> 00:32:51,222

[jackie]: So true.

 

767

00:32:51,572 –> 00:32:51,832

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah.

 

768

00:32:51,702 –> 00:32:56,025

[jackie]: So true. Yeah. Know what? Really?

It does require kind of like beating that drum

 

769

00:32:56,065 –> 00:33:00,768

[jackie]: of saying over and over again. The

only nutrition advice to take is one from someone

 

770

00:33:00,788 –> 00:33:02,809

[jackie]: with an RD after their name. Really.

 

771

00:33:02,697 –> 00:33:07,098

[Lori Taylor]: I completely agree. I actually

scheduled, I don’t know if you’re gonna love

 

772

00:33:07,139 –> 00:33:08,799

[Lori Taylor]: me or hate me when I say this

out loud,

 

773

00:33:09,378 –> 00:33:09,525

[jackie]: Bye!

 

774

00:33:09,460 –> 00:33:15,522

[Lori Taylor]: I scheduled my very first, like

just, I’ve never had a user experience with,

 

775

00:33:15,562 –> 00:33:15,943

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

776

00:33:15,602 –> 00:33:17,183

[Lori Taylor]: or a patient experience with

an RD.

 

777

00:33:17,929 –> 00:33:18,110

[jackie]: Oh,

 

778

00:33:17,983 –> 00:33:18,243

[Lori Taylor]: How many

 

779

00:33:18,150 –> 00:33:18,290

[jackie]: I

 

780

00:33:18,283 –> 00:33:18,443

[Lori Taylor]: times

 

781

00:33:18,310 –> 00:33:18,531

[jackie]: love

 

782

00:33:18,484 –> 00:33:18,584

[Lori Taylor]: have

 

783

00:33:18,571 –> 00:33:18,832

[jackie]: that,

 

784

00:33:18,604 –> 00:33:18,904

[Lori Taylor]: I talked

 

785

00:33:18,892 –> 00:33:19,353

[jackie]: Lori.

 

786

00:33:18,924 –> 00:33:19,784

[Lori Taylor]: to RDs? Like,

 

787

00:33:19,855 –> 00:33:20,457

[jackie]: Yes.

 

788

00:33:20,765 –> 00:33:24,266

[Lori Taylor]: I mean, oftentimes weekly in

work, you know, or

 

789

00:33:24,258 –> 00:33:24,531

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

790

00:33:24,366 –> 00:33:28,428

[Lori Taylor]: at a minimum monthly, have plenty

who are dear friends. And,

 

791

00:33:28,087 –> 00:33:28,297

[jackie]: Right.

 

792

00:33:29,921 –> 00:33:32,862

[Lori Taylor]: we had Taylor from Kroger on,

she’s director of nutrition at Kroger right

 

793

00:33:32,902 –> 00:33:33,162

[Lori Taylor]: now,

 

794

00:33:33,527 –> 00:33:33,821

[jackie]: amazing.

 

795

00:33:33,702 –> 00:33:36,904

[Lori Taylor]: and she was part of the Food

is Medicine series and she was talking about

 

796

00:33:37,324 –> 00:33:43,447

[Lori Taylor]: how the Kroger dietitians are

available through Kroger Health and their telehealth.

 

797

00:33:43,927 –> 00:33:44,027

[Lori Taylor]: And I

 

798

00:33:44,016 –> 00:33:44,237

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

799

00:33:44,047 –> 00:33:46,928

[Lori Taylor]: was like, you know what, I need

to schedule that. Like I have no

 

800

00:33:46,859 –> 00:33:47,246

[jackie]: Yes.

 

801

00:33:47,029 –> 00:33:51,471

[Lori Taylor]: idea what that even, what that

user experience is or that patient care, patient

 

802

00:33:51,671 –> 00:33:53,051

[Lori Taylor]: RD interface looks

 

803

00:33:52,895 –> 00:33:53,057

[jackie]: Love

 

804

00:33:53,091 –> 00:33:53,452

[Lori Taylor]: like.

 

805

00:33:53,098 –> 00:33:53,301

[jackie]: that.

 

806

00:33:53,932 –> 00:33:56,273

[Lori Taylor]: So I just had my first like exploratory

 

807

00:33:56,960 –> 00:33:57,313

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

808

00:33:59,935 –> 00:34:01,215

[Lori Taylor]: lot and you know who I really

 

809

00:34:01,215 –> 00:34:01,419

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

810

00:34:01,235 –> 00:34:05,558

[Lori Taylor]: want to get engaged with this

is my both of my children but especially my

 

811

00:34:05,638 –> 00:34:07,279

[Lori Taylor]: older one who’s now a high school

athlete

 

812

00:34:08,846 –> 00:34:09,706

[jackie]: So helpful

 

813

00:34:09,980 –> 00:34:10,240

[Lori Taylor]: yeah

 

814

00:34:10,107 –> 00:34:13,810

[jackie]: and so necessary. No, I love that

you said that, Laurie, because I think that’s

 

815

00:34:13,830 –> 00:34:17,113

[jackie]: another, especially for your listeners,

like that’s another important thing to know,

 

816

00:34:17,193 –> 00:34:21,537

[jackie]: is that just because you have worked

with us does not necessarily mean that you’ve

 

817

00:34:21,577 –> 00:34:25,081

[jackie]: had the user experience. And I actually

think the user experience is way more valuable

 

818

00:34:25,121 –> 00:34:28,404

[jackie]: sometimes, just to know what it’s

like and to understand what it’s like to be

 

819

00:34:28,444 –> 00:34:29,945

[jackie]: in that one-on-one context.

 

820

00:34:30,441 –> 00:34:36,044

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah, and it was really flawless

and super affordable. And

 

821

00:34:36,823 –> 00:34:37,236

[jackie]: Love that.

 

822

00:34:37,445 –> 00:34:42,068

[Lori Taylor]: I highly recommend it, you know,

because I feel like I also have a pretty good

 

823

00:34:42,128 –> 00:34:48,653

[Lori Taylor]: pulse on all things nutrition.

I feel like I have a heightened awareness and

 

824

00:34:48,713 –> 00:34:49,273

[Lori Taylor]: understanding

 

825

00:34:49,058 –> 00:34:49,310

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

826

00:34:49,313 –> 00:34:55,365

[Lori Taylor]: of nutrition compared to most

consumers because of my line of work. But I

 

827

00:34:55,405 –> 00:34:57,406

[Lori Taylor]: had a lot to learn, you know?

And it’s still

 

828

00:34:57,334 –> 00:34:57,565

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

829

00:34:57,446 –> 00:35:02,268

[Lori Taylor]: hard to navigate. Not so much

for me. I wasn’t there to navigate fruit and

 

830

00:35:02,288 –> 00:35:09,011

[Lori Taylor]: vegetable stuff, but more like,

OK, do I need a Clif Bar in my house? Or what’s

 

831

00:35:09,071 –> 00:35:09,411

[Lori Taylor]: the good

 

832

00:35:09,194 –> 00:35:09,536

[jackie]: Right,

 

833

00:35:09,451 –> 00:35:10,032

[Lori Taylor]: grab and go

 

834

00:35:09,938 –> 00:35:10,340

[jackie]: yeah,

 

835

00:35:10,072 –> 00:35:12,373

[Lori Taylor]: pantry staple for

 

836

00:35:11,747 –> 00:35:12,129

[jackie]: right.

 

837

00:35:12,773 –> 00:35:15,414

[Lori Taylor]: where I’m at with my metabolic

age and my

 

838

00:35:16,724 –> 00:35:16,928

[jackie]: Yeah.

 

839

00:35:17,235 –> 00:35:22,317

[Lori Taylor]: goals as it relates to personal

wellness and nutrition? I love how Clif Bars

 

840

00:35:22,357 –> 00:35:25,944

[Lori Taylor]: taste, but I’m not rock climbing.

I’m so sorry.

 

841

00:35:30,699 –> 00:35:30,839

[jackie]: Right?

 

842

00:35:30,813 –> 00:35:31,173

[Lori Taylor]: Yeah,

 

843

00:35:30,879 –> 00:35:32,121

[jackie]: Such a great point. Yeah,

 

844

00:35:31,954 –> 00:35:32,475

[Lori Taylor]: yeah.

 

845

00:35:32,281 –> 00:35:34,285

[jackie]: no, it’s true. It’s really such a

good point.

 

846

00:35:34,639 –> 00:35:40,098

[Lori Taylor]: So I do feel like and so please

folks, if you haven’t. If you haven’t heightened

 

847

00:35:40,118 –> 00:35:44,082

[Lori Taylor]: your appreciation or even your

awareness for what registered dietitians offer

 

848

00:35:44,122 –> 00:35:50,167

[Lori Taylor]: to us all through the healthcare

space or even just the consumer media space,

 

849

00:35:50,187 –> 00:35:53,330

[Lori Taylor]: which that’s how I’d kind of

categorize you Jackie. A lot of what you’re

 

850

00:35:53,350 –> 00:35:59,396

[Lori Taylor]: doing is just amazing free knowledge

that you’re sharing with folks on your social

 

851

00:35:59,416 –> 00:36:00,116

[Lori Taylor]: platforms.

 

852

00:35:59,926 –> 00:36:00,933

[jackie]: Great, thank you.

 

853

00:36:01,477 –> 00:36:04,300

[Lori Taylor]: So please engage and check it

out.

 

854

00:36:05,354 –> 00:36:09,005

[jackie]: Yeah, definitely come and find me.

Jacqueline London RD, everywhere.

 

855

00:36:08,741 –> 00:36:13,366

[Lori Taylor]: All right, well, one final one

final mic drop. I’m going to send the mic to

 

856

00:36:13,406 –> 00:36:16,489

[Lori Taylor]: you. Anything you want people

to really remember and take home from this

 

857

00:36:16,529 –> 00:36:18,351

[Lori Taylor]: episode as we close things out

today?

 

858

00:36:19,026 –> 00:36:22,250

[jackie]: Yes, I’m going to repeat my line for

the 80th time, but

 

859

00:36:22,202 –> 00:36:22,475

[Lori Taylor]: Good.

 

860

00:36:22,370 –> 00:36:26,896

[jackie]: I feel like it’s one that bears repeating

any food that is nutritious for you is only

 

861

00:36:27,096 –> 00:36:32,023

[jackie]: as super for you as the context and

consistency in which it’s consumed. That’s

 

862

00:36:32,083 –> 00:36:32,143

[jackie]: all.

 

863

00:36:33,601 –> 00:36:39,406

[Lori Taylor]: Boom. All right. Well thank you

Jackie for being here folks. Thanks for tuning

 

864

00:36:39,486 –> 00:36:43,049

[Lori Taylor]: in. You know the drill. We need

ratings reviews to keep this thing going. Do

 

865

00:36:43,069 –> 00:36:46,572

[Lori Taylor]: them or don’t do them. I’ll still

be back next week. All right.

 

866

00:36:52,302 –> 00:36:52,896

[jackie]: I love it.

 

867

00:36:54,113 –> 00:36:54,796

[Lori Taylor]: Don’t hang up.
