Healthy eating plays a central role in achieving optimal health. Yet, research shows only one in ten adults in the United States eats enough fruits and vegetables to meet recommended guidelines, and data from the CDC found that one in three Americans eat fast food every day.
In this podcast, we interview Dr. David Katz, a board-certified specialist in preventive medicine and public health, about the role of healthy eating in achieving optimal health and how employer wellbeing initiatives can help employees understand and embrace healthy eating, including:
- How poor health connects with unhealthy eating
- Why poor diet is a leading predictor of premature death
- How the idea of “food as medicine” can help address chronic illness
- How healthy eating delivers outcomes for wellness programs
Dr. Katz is a globally recognized authority on preventive and lifestyle medicine and the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center. He has spoken on six continents and authored roughly 200 peer-reviewed publications and 18 books, including his most recent, How to Eat: All Your Food and Diet Questions Answered.
Dr. Katz is also the founder of Diet ID, a digital toolkit that reinvents dietary assessment and management with an innovative, clinically tested visual approach to optimizing health.
