The U.S. just released a new food pyramid for 2026.If you are a busy man over 40 who has tried to “eat better,” followed advice from doctors, diets, or headlines, and still feels stuck with low energy, stubborn weight, or blood work that keeps trending the wrong way, this episode is for you.In this conversation, I break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the new food pyramid and explain why public nutrition guidelines almost never translate into real results for men with demanding lives.We talk about:• Why food pyramids keep changing while obesity and chronic disease stay the same• How protein, fats, and carbohydrates keep getting misrepresented• Why ultra-processed foods, calories, and compliance matter more than any diagram• Why most men do not fail nutrition plans — the plans fail them• What actually works when your schedule is packed with work, travel, and family responsibilitiesThis is not a political episode or a diet debate.It is about helping men understand how to think about nutrition, so they can stop guessing and start building a system that works in real life.If this episode resonates, go back and listen to episodes 5 through 11, where I lay out my full nutrition framework step by step and show you exactly where to start.If you are done reacting to bad labs, low energy, and a body that does not reflect the work you put into the rest of your life, The Call To Rise is where this becomes execution.The Call To Rise is a 100-day fat loss and health transformation experience for driven men who want structure, clarity, and accountability — without wrecking their schedule.Men inside the program lose 20–30 pounds, improve blood markers like cholesterol, A1c, and blood pressure, and rebuild confidence through a system that fits real life.Learn more at www.thecalltorise.comThis episode is about understanding the problem.The Call To Rise is about fixing it.
