Digesting the New Food Pyramid with Holly Mullen, FNTP and Dr. Kerry Thuett, FNTP

What’s the big deal about the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans that came out from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in January 2026? Proponents claim it is the most significant update to federal eating advice in generations and that it flips the original food pyramid on it's head. Detractors consider it more of a marketing gimmick and afront to traditional health advice. Two experienced Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (FNTPs) join Ramsey for a fruitful discussion of how the old food pyramid was iconic, how good the advice of the new pyramid is (or isn't), and why people have gotten so riled up about it. The discussion also includes the impact that the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is having on our national thoughts about nutrition. Whether you are a booster of MAHA or you roll your eyes at the politicization of food, enjoy this discussion, which digs into the meat of the issues: What should we eat to be healthy? How do national dietary guidelines influence people’s diets? Did they include the right clip art in the New Food Pyramid?? Learn more about the Dietary Guidelines for Americans at www.realfood.gov.
