How to Disagree Without Being Disagreeable: A Spicy Conversation on Health Policies | Dr. Jessica Knurick, Dr. Will Cole, Jeff Krasno

This live episode was recorded at the Eudemonia event and features a respectful, on-stage conversation about America’s chronic disease crisis and why health has become so politicized. The panel explores root causes from both an individual and population-health lens, including ultra processed foods, stress, and social determinants of health. They discuss how dietary guidelines and school food policies get shaped, why nuance matters, and what changes actually move the needle. The conversation also tackles SNAP, food insecurity, and the debate around restrictions versus incentives. Finally, they address how trust in science can be damaged when complex systems are reduced to soundbites. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast
