In January 2026, something truly revolutionary happened in the world of health and nutrition.
In this video, Dr Nelum (GP and founder of Whole Food Revolution) and Ronit (Happiness & Life Coach) break down the newly revised Dietary Guidelines for Americans — a change many are calling the biggest shift in nutrition policy in over 50 years.
For the first time, the US dietary guidelines place whole, real food at the centre, flip the traditional food pyramid, and strongly address the harms of ultra-processed foods, added sugars, and refined products. Protein is prioritised, vegetables and fruits are emphasised, healthy fats are acknowledged, and fermented foods finally get a mention.
While these are US guidelines, they matter far beyond America. Government dietary guidelines shape what is served in hospitals, schools, childcare centres, nursing homes, the military, and influence food labelling systems and healthcare education worldwide. Historically, countries like Australia and much of Europe follow the US lead — meaning this shift has the potential to change public health globally.
In this conversation, we discuss:
Why this update is so significant after decades of low-fat advice
The difference between processed vs ultra-processed food
Why sugar is no longer recommended at any level
How protein, whole foods, and healthy fats are finally recognised
Why these guidelines align so closely with the Whole Food Revolution philosophy
After years of advocacy by clinicians, researchers, and communities, it feels like the US has finally “joined the Whole Food Revolution”.
If you want to understand what’s changed, why it matters, and how it could impact health in Australia and beyond, this is a must-watch.
