144 | New 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans – What You Need to Know [Part 1]

The new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released on January 7, 2026 and already they have created quite a stir. Perhaps you’ve seen the Guidelines and wonder what to make of them too. For one, there’s a featured image of an inverted pyramid comprising foods like butter, steak, whole milk and cheese. Then when you get onto the realfood.gov website, you are immediately shown three images - a stalk of broccoli, a carton of whole milk, and a piece of steak. But are all foods healthy and good for long-term health as long they don’t come processed and from a factory?

This is definitely worth discussing. So in this episode, let’s take a closer look at these Guidelines recently released. In this first part, I’ll highlight the positive recommendations made within the Guidelines and then 2 important things you need to know about them. I hope you’ll walk away with greater clarity into the matter and be more informed and equipped to make the best food choices for your health. Ready? Grab a warm cup of tea and let’s get started!
