The food pyramid is back — and like in Stranger Things, it’s upside down.

In this episode of Ripple Effect Connection, Health & Performance Coach Kristi Hujik breaks down the new dietary guidelines and explains what they actually mean for your health, energy, gut, and daily food choices.

Kristi covers what changed, what didn’t, and what’s still missing — including protein recommendations, full-fat dairy, ultra-processed foods, added sugar, and alcohol guidance. She will also explain that even it is never applied to your nutrition decisions this is a ground-breaking development.

This episode is a calm, practical translation of nutrition guidance — designed to help you eat well without overwhelm, fear, or extremes.

If you’ve felt confused by changing nutrition advice, this episode will bring clarity.
