Welcome to the Realfoodology podcast with your host me, Courtney Swan! I’m an Integrative Nutritionist living in LA on a mission to change the way we eat in America. Each week I’ll be talking to doctors, food experts and health professionals to bring you the best info so you can thrive. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of how powerful our food choices are. But it’s never too late to start. You’d be so surprised how resilient our bodies are when we start taking care of them. Trust me, I know it’s overwhelming. Thats why I’m here. I’m going to break it down with you, make it more digestible and easier to navigate. Let’s get back to real food!

In today’s solo episode, I’m exploring some hot-button topics surrounding RFK Jr. and the Obama administration, especially in relation to food policy. I’ll unpack the criticism currently surrounding RFK Jr. and share why I’ve been a long-time fan of his environmental and health activism. Then, we’ll examine the Obama administration’s handling of GMOs, school lunch programs, and processed foods. While many praise the Obamas for their efforts to improve public health, I’ll reveal the lesser-known policies that may have hindered true progress, especially when it comes to our food system.
