Episode: S4 E4
In this engaging conversation, Lewis Wallis shares his journey balancing a full-time role in the nutrition industry with pursuing a PhD.
We get unique insights from both his research and regulatory roles covering a broad range of topics including:
- What is a digital food environment?
- How do we define these environments in a way that can enable healthier choices?
- How do these multiple environments make up an ecosystem?
- What are the current nutrient profiling models? How do they compare?
- What is a “meta-score”?
- Should we be thinking more deeply about what is included in these models?
- With multiple nutrient profiling models, what is the policy perspective?
- How is the regulatory world going to address UPF’s?
Listen in to hear the answers to the big questions, and so much more!
