What can the building blocks of our food ingredients tell us about our health and the health of our planet? This week on the show, we discuss the fields of metabolomics and lipidomics with experts Dr. Andres Jaramillo-Botero and Dr. Natalia Vázquez Manjarrez. Andres is the founding Director of the iOMICAS Research Institute, a Rockefeller Foundation PTFI Center of Excellence focused on elucidating and democratizing access to food composition at the molecular level and led since 2018 the international research alliance, ÓMICAS, a multi-omics crop breeding optimization program funded by the Colombian government through the World Bank’s PACES program. Natalia leads the Metabolomics Unit within the Department of Nutrition Physiology at the National Institute of Medical Sciences Salvador Zubirán in Mexico City. We examine diet from the molecular level and discuss where the future of food might take us!   This podcast is sponsored by The Periodic Table of Food Initiative in association with the American Heart Association.

The global beef market is valued at over $400 billion USD, and US consumers eat more beef than any other country in the world. Yet, most consumers know relatively little about livestock handling and the practices bringing cattle from the field to the dinner plate. This week our guest is Dr. Temple Grandin, a leading expert on animal behavior in the livestock industry. Dr. Grandin shares her extensive knowledge on ethical livestock handling, sustainable grazing, and the importance of proper cattle management. The conversation delves into practical advice for managing cattle, from rotational grazing to addressing genetic issues in breeding, and highlights Dr. Grandin’s contributions to improving animal welfare in slaughterhouses. Listeners will gain an insightful perspective on the interconnectedness of animal welfare and sustainable agriculture.
