Processed meats are everywhere, from deli sandwiches and hot dogs to bacon and sausage. But what exactly are they? And why do so many health experts warn against them? In this episode, we’ll break it all down. I’ll guide you through what qualifies as a processed meat, the potential health risks they pose—including links to chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer—and why moderation is key when it comes to these widely consumed foods.

But don’t worry, I won’t just leave you with the bad news. We’ll also discuss practical, easy-to-implement steps you can take to reduce your intake of processed meats without feeling deprived. Whether it’s swapping out a few meals a week or experimenting with delicious plant-based or lean protein alternatives, I’ll help you find options that work for your lifestyle. And if you’re someone who loves convenience, we’ll cover ways to make healthier choices at the grocery store without sacrificing flavor or ease.
