Making It Awkward

The discourse about healthy and nutrition policy is very loud right now. Each week dietitian and author Jessica Wilson shares her conversations with experts in their field to inspire critical thinking and at times it can become awkward. She talks with researchers, sociologists, therapists, dietitians, authors and community members as we all try to make sense of what we're being told.

    Re-Grifting: Dr. Mark Hyman

    Jessica Wilson, MS RD is joined by pod editor Jen Jacobs to kick off the Re-Grifting series. Dr. Mark Hyman is the first to be featured having introduced himself to Jessica over instagram. He is a co-founder of health-tech start-up Function Health and a huge fan of supplements. Mark was part of the group of food-fluencers who influenced the FDA to ban red dye no. 3.  The NYT recently had a profile about the development of his wellness empire and his bromance and collaborations with RFK Jr. A few of the articles mentioned:  The Daniel Plan Call to Action from Mark https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/aafp-functional-medicine-lacks-supporting-evidence-includes-harmful-and-dangerous-treatments/ You can buy awkward merch!

    The Raw Milk Divide with Farmer Trampus Harmon

    Beef farmer (and former dairy farmer) Trampus Harmon joins dietitian Jessica Wilson to talk about raw milk. We’ve seen the rise of raw milk influencer-culture and Jessica wanted to talk with someone who knows the ins and outs of dairy cow farming. The two chat about the safety of raw milk and how influencers are impacting the farming landscape. Trampus introduces Jessica to the dairy buyback program which she will explore in future episodes. Trampus answers some listener questions and helps Jessica interpret a viral video about grass fed beef.  Bonus voice memo from Dr. Jeff Sherman-Duncan!  Citations used in this episode: https://abc7ny.com/post/rfk-jr-asked-raw-farm-owner-mark-mcafee-center-milk-recall-apply-fda-advisor-donald-trump-administration/15625517/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/06/health/bird-flu-death-louisiana/index.html https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/cdc-h5n1-mutations-severely-ill-patient-could-boost-spread-risk-remains#:~:text=The%20genetic%20analysis%20of%20the,Control%20and%20Prevention%20(CDC) https://www.npr.org/2024/12/26/nx-s1-5239841/bird-flu-kills-20-cats-washington-sanctuary https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/php/avian-flu-summary/chart-epi-curve-ah5n1.html

    We Saw This Coming; Glancing Back and Gearing Up for 2025

    We knew what was coming in 2025. Through the conversations on this podcast about food processing and collective health anxiety we got a front row seat to watch how people have moved to extreme views about food and our health. We’ve seen it mobilize groups of people to defy what should be common sense about food safety, and basic science.  We’ve also seen how people, particularly white men, respond specifically to Jessica when she asks if something is inherently unhealthy if we can’t define it. From those responses we see how so much of this isn’t about food at all. Food is just the vehicle, the distraction.  Enjoy this trip down memory lane with former guests including Shana Spence, Cara Harbstreet, Dr Selina Wang, Patrille Hernandez, Dr Natalie Ingraham, Dr. Lexi Brown, Jen Jacobs, and Jaye Rachon. Then come back for conversations in 2025, some history lessons and a new series titled “Re-grifting.” Happy 2025! You can buy awkward merch!

    Neurodivergence and Girl Dinner with Dr. Lexi Brown-Re-release

    Re-release: Jessica and Lexi share many of the ways their brains work differently and the tips and tools they’ve adopted to navigate a neurotypical world. Lexi shares her experiences with disordered eating and some things that she’s found to be helpful as she works on having less all-or-nothing eating habits. They share what it was like to be locked down in a small house with three adults and two dogs the first two years of the pandemic. And lastly, Lexi introduces Jessica to the concept of a girl dinner.  This is a great episode to watch on Spotify and  https://www.youtube.com/@MakingItAwkwardPod How to support this podcast?

  6. Flavor Maxiamalists and Minimalists in America with Pops

    Flavor Maxiamalists and Minimalists in America with Pops

    A gluten-flugen-dog? Social media has introduced us to those who want the most flavor, texture, color and creativity in their food and, conversely, those who avoid even salt and might not even cook their food to kill pathogens. Tiktok has given us a window into kitchens around the country. From jello salad to quinoa salad and raw chicken to hot dogs impaled with spaghetti noodles, boiled then painted with sauce and two different kinds of cheese before going in a toasted bun (the gluten-flugen-dog), Jessica has watched with amusement. In more recent times she’s seen people cut alllll the way back on both flavor and food safety and are eating their animal products raw, and this just happens to coincide with the increasing interest in Wellness and a fear of anything processed in any way. She proposes that, especially among white folks, there are maximalists and minimalists when it comes to food. She decided to talk to her dad about her theories and introduce him to the recipes of maximalists and minimalists for his thoughts. The two start by drinking some farmer's coke.

    MSG, spice and all things nice!

    What is MSG, and what’s with all of the sh*t talking? Jessica gets answers to these questions with the help of dietitian Cara Harbstreet and a few research rabbit holes.  Jessica and Cara talk about how a (maybe fake?) letter to the New England Journal of Medicine kicked off decades of hysteria about “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.” The true author of that letter has been in question for years and the story takes a couple sharp turns.  Science has largely debunked the negative impacts of MSG–but, sadly, that doesn’t always impact public perception.  Jessica also has serious questions about how Americans view flavor and she’ll come back to that in later episodes.
