What do pickle-flavored Cheetos, celebrity diets, AI calorie trackers, and seed oils have in common? They’re all part of the constantly changing conversation around food, nutrition, and health.

Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandra Filingeri are back for another cultural hot topics episode of We Got Your Number, taking a closer look at some of the trends and headlines shaping the way people think about what they eat.

They discuss the pickle craze taking over Gen Z, the role social media plays in making certain foods go viral, and how conditions like Alpha-gal can completely change someone’s approach to nutrition. They also examine restrictive celebrity diets, the pressure to achieve extreme thinness, and why copying the eating habits of someone you see online may not tell you the whole story.

The conversation also explores AI-powered calorie tracking, different approaches to monitoring nutrition, the debate around what parents should feed their children, and why fear surrounding individual ingredients can sometimes distract us from the bigger picture.

With nutrition advice coming at us constantly, Dr. Romo and Dr. Filingeri bring the conversation back to something much simpler: context matters, extremes can be harmful, and healthy eating doesn’t need to become unnecessarily complicated.
