Are All Ultra-Processed Foods Bad?

You hear it everywhere: Ultra-processed foods are bad for you. They make you gain weight. They wreck your metabolism. They should be avoided at all costs. But is that actually true? In this episode of The Wellness Zone, Dr. Sears takes a closer look at what ultra-processed really means—and why the definition itself may be deeply flawed. Because while many ultra-processed foods are engineered to drive overeating using sugar, fat, salt, and additives that disrupt metabolism, not all food processing is created equal. In fact, some foods technically classified as ultra-processed—like Greek yogurt—are associated with better metabolic health, not worse. So what separates ultra-processed foods that make you fat and sick from those that can help you stay lean, control hunger, and support long-term health? Dr. Sears explains how protein, GLP-1, AMPK activation, and calorie control—not processing alone—determine whether a food harms your metabolism or enhances it. And he shares how a decade of work led to a new way of thinking about convenience foods that don’t destroy metabolic health—but actually improve it. They're called ZoneRx Foods. 🧠 Learn more at https://drsears.com/ 🛒 Get ZoneRx Food Products at https://zoneliving.com/ 00:00 Intro 00:43 What makes foods ultra-processed? 01:13 Dangers of ultra-processed foods? 02:23 Healthy ultra-processed foods 03:23 What are ZoneRx Foods? 04:13 Importance of Allulose 05:32 Key difference between ultra-processed foods and ZoneRx foods 06:20 Processed foods and the Zone 07:55 Dietary change recommendations
