Beverly Hills California, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the latest episode of Health is a Skill, host Todd Vande Hei welcomes nutrition and wellness expert Dr. Jeffrey Burke for an expansive discussion on the changing face of health literacy, the rise of advanced diagnostics, and why sustained lifestyle change remains elusive for many. With a background spanning over four decades, Burke brings a historical lens to modern challenges in preventive health and personal transformation.
The two dive into the dramatic advancements in diagnostics and artificial intelligence that are reshaping both consumer behavior and clinical care. Vande Hei noted the impact of large language models like ChatGPT, saying, “We’re now able to chart 12 years of lab data in seconds—something no practitioner could do manually.”
Burke emphasized the power of real-time data to motivate behavioral change. “People know they’re doing the wrong things,” he said. “But if they could see what’s happening to their bodies in real time, that could be a game changer.”
Their conversation also examined:
- Why real-time health tracking may transform motivation and self-discipline
- The psychology behind failed lifestyle changes—even when resources and desire are present
- How poor diet habits persist despite clear diagnostics like A1C readings
- The cultural normalization of hyperpalatable, nutrient-empty foods and the importance of eliminating temptation
Burke highlighted the nutraceutical industry’s evolution since the 1980s—from synthetic vitamins to targeted, plant-based formulas. “Today’s supplement shelves are like a candy store compared to when we started,” he said. He advocated for broader use of tools like digestive enzymes, probiotics, and micronutrient testing, while noting that multivitamins are a useful baseline only when personalized testing is unavailable.
The episode also touched on regulatory gaps in food labeling, the psychology of comfort zones, and the emerging influence of regenerative agriculture.
“Comfort zones are not about comfort,” said Burke. “They’re about familiarity—and that’s often the biggest enemy of change.”
