Does an "organic" label automatically mean your food is cleaner, safer, or healthier?

In Episode 303 of the Now + Then Podcast, Dr. Bart Precourt and Callie Michaelis reveal what the organic label actually guarantees and what it may leave out. They discuss the controversy surrounding organic food marketing, farming practices, pesticide use, and why consumers need to look beyond the front of the package.

They also explore why two meals with identical calories and macros can produce very different effects on blood sugar, insulin, cravings, and the brain. Plus, they break down how the time change affects sleep and hormones, whether adults over 55 can build muscle without meat, and what you should know about peptides and the popular "Wolverine Stack."

● Consumers who regularly purchase organic food
● Anyone confused by organic, natural, and clean-food labels
● People tracking calories or macros for weight loss
● Adults concerned about sleep, metabolism, and maintaining muscle
● Anyone curious about peptides and the Wolverine Stack
