The Science of Eating Well Without Losing Your Mind | Jessica Knurick

Hey everybody, welcome to the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. We are, as many of you know, living through a riptide of uh wellness misinformation, just like a a tsunami of bullshit, much of it coming from people like RFK and members of the Maha or Make America Healthy Again movement. Some of it, however, just coming from garden variety and even well-intentioned online influencers stepping into the breach. is my guest today, Dr.

Jessica Nurik, who has a PhD in nutrition science and is a registered dietitian. She's really been um, as I said, stepping into the breach and helping people sort fact from fiction online. Questions like, should we be worried about fluoride in the water? Should we be worried about vaccines, toxins in our food, ingredients in our food that we can't pronounce, etc., etc.? A lot to discuss here.

We'll be talking to Dr. Jessica Nurik after this quick break. A few things before we hear from our sponsors. I don't know if you know this, but I've been uh writing a newsletter uh for the last couple of years. I would love for you to come check it out.
