The opening episode of Built Human. Andrew Coca and Jon Marchetti get into the conversation most health shows quietly avoid: why standard advice keeps failing the people following it most carefully. Then they get into the bigger stories shaping the modern food fight, from the protein-bar question to the food dye bans rolling out state by state, and what the policy shift looks like at the grocery store.

If you've spent years following the rules on food, fitness, sleep, and stress and still feel worse than you did ten years ago, start here.

What we cover:

• Why standard health advice keeps failing the people following it most carefully
• What Animal Base is, and how it organizes a real-food life around what you eat, how you live, and how you rest
• The protein-bar question and what it actually reveals
• The food dye bans and how they're showing up at the grocery store
