  • Dr. Ian K. Smith
    Jan 26 2026

    This week on Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates welcomes back Dr. Ian K. Smith - physician, bestselling author, and a trusted voice in health and nutrition - for a clear and grounded look at one of the biggest shifts in American dietary policy in years.

    With the release of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the traditional food pyramid has now been inverted, prioritizing protein and healthy fats while placing stronger limits on ultra-processed foods and added sugars.

    Dr. Smith breaks down what these changes mean for everyday eating, how they align with current science, and why this new pyramid challenges decades of conventional wisdom. Christina and Dr. Smith explore how these guidelines may influence home cooking, menu development, and the broader nutrition culture, while offering a practical and accessible way to navigate through the noise.

    They also discuss Dr. Smith’s latest book, The Last 15: Say Goodbye to Those Most Stubborn Pounds, a science-based, seven-week program designed to help readers overcome weight loss plateaus without gimmicks or deprivation. He shares the research behind the plan, the psychology of stubborn pounds, and the real-world strategies that make sustainable change possible.

    If you’re trying to make sense of the new nutrition guidelines, curious about the future of American nutrition, or looking for smarter ways to cook, this week’s episode delivers clarity and context without the extra confusion.

She shares how Amasar champions sustainability, heritage, and equitable food systems while bringing this resilient ingredient into contemporary kitchens.

    If you're looking to rethink your pantry, explore healthier eating patterns, or perhaps are curious about the future of carbs, this week's episode offers grounded, accessible insight. From ancient ingredients like breadfruit to modern grain innovation, you'll be sure to walk away inspired and better equipped to make choices that fuel wellness and joy at the table.

    We're now well into January, and with that comes the growing movement many are partaking in called Dry January.

    For Culinary Confidential's second show of 2026, Christina Cates brings clarity, balance, a fresh look at how and why we drink, and why this movement towards more mindful drinking keeps growing in popularity. She also looks into how the beverage world and how our personal wellness choices evolve with two special guests.

    Nicholas Poletto, Vice President of Education at Kobrand Corporation, breaks down the rapidly expanding world of non-alcoholic beverages. He explains how the category has moved beyond simple substitutes, becoming a space defined by creativity, flavor integrity, and intentional design. From zero-proof wines and spirits to elevated alternatives crafted for modern palates, he offers the inside scoop on what's driving this shift and what consumers can expect next.

    Dr. Ali Cadili brings a medical perspective, offering clear and evidence-based insight into the health benefits of reducing or eliminating alcohol. He discusses how even short-term abstinence can improve your sleep, mental clarity, metabolic health, and overall vitality - demystifying the science behind mindful drinking and empowering listeners to make informed choices.

    So whether you're sober-curious, committed to Dry January, or simply exploring healthier choices, this week's episode offers a grounded, accessible look at the cultural and personal shifts around alcohol, and how even the smallest of changes can make a meaningful impact.
