Latest from Food Politics: Texas' dietary guidelines. "Eat real food, y'all!"

Jerry Mande of Nourish Science tipped me off on this one.   Texas wrote its own dietary guidelines.   He judges them as “pretty good and from Texas, y’all. ” Indeed they are. The 2025-2030 dietary guidelines are a mess and pretty much unusable. ...

By Marion Nestle October 01 2026 Texas’ dietary guidelines. “Eat real food, y’all!” Jerry Mande of Nourish Science tipped me off on this one.  Texas wrote its own dietary guidelines.  He judges them as “pretty good and from Texas, y’all.” Indeed they are. The 2025-2030 dietary guidelines are a mess and pretty much unusable.  Perhaps coincidentally, the Texas legislature told nutritionists to write guidelines for Texans. The result: They set the guidelines on three pillars: Foods without a lot of processing are best for your body. How you prepare food matters. There are many ways to eat healthy. They were produced by the Texas Nutrition Advisory Committee. The Texas Legislature added Health and Safety Code, Chapter 119B, to establish the Texas Nutrition Advisory Committee (TNAC) in 2025. Statute tasks TNAC with: Examining the impact of nutrition on human health and the connection between ultra-processed foods and the prevalence of chronic diseases; Providing an independent review of scientific studies analyzing the effects of ultra-processed foods on human health; Providing education on the effects of ultra-processed foods on human health; and Developing and maintaining dietary and nutritional guidelines. I don’t know any of the members of the Advisory Committee but high marks to them.  They did all this in a thoughtful, systematic way and produced guidelines well substantiated by current scientific evidence. Take a look at the link to the committee.  That page provides loads of useful information about the process as well as links to educational materials. Go Texas!

Here's what that buys them -- GLP-1 telehealth brands spend $150 to $250 to acquire a paying patient and it works because they built a system, not a campaign. We broke down the full funnel, the pricing, and the exact playbook, then compared it to what concierge medicine members and DPC patients actually pay. If your marketing is still based on hope for the referral, one social media post a week and a "mid" or "meh" (as the kids say) website, this is the marketing knowledge gap you need to close.

(Podcast) Dr. Charles “Trey” Williams didn’t set out to disrupt pediatrics. He set out to be the kind of doctor his own kids deserved. After a decade in corporate, insurance-driven practice and a stint inside a health-tech startup, Williams reached the same conclusion many physicians on this podcast have reached: the system was built for throughput, not relationships, and pediatrics runs on relationships.

The Future of Membership-Based Healthcare — CMT Research Brief "Everyone assumes concierge medicine is exploding. It's not. It's under 2%. 8,000 to 12,000 practices out of 1.1 million doctors. That's the truth. Here's the other truth: a quarter of those practices are now specialists, cardiology, endo, OB-GYN, even oncology. Small numbers. Massive signal. That's how you know a model is becoming the standard, not the size of it, the direction of it."   — Michael Tetreault, Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today Research Brief 2026 State of Concierge & Membership Medicine:   Market Size, Physician Workforce, and Practice Economics "Stop measuring concierge medicine by market share. Wrong metric. Measure it by who's borrowing from it. Specialists are building subscription models off it. Hospital systems are launching premium-access programs modeled on it. Even inside Direct Primary Care, physicians are reaching for the same core idea: a direct relationship with the patient, no insurance company in between. Fewer than 2% of U.S. physicians practice concierge medicine today. And the rest of healthcare is quietly getting graded against a model that small. That's not a niche. That's a reference point."   — Michael Tetreault, Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today Research Brief The Physician’s Guide to Understanding Concierge Medicine Inside a Health System Research Brief A Field Guide to Professional Organizations in Membership Medicine Research Brief What Makes a Concierge Medical Practice Successful?  — CMT Research Brief Research Brief Concierge Medicine vs Direct Primary Care: A Structural Comparison Listen to Episode Helpful Legal Questions Concierge Physicians Can’t Afford to Skip Read full story Unsubscribe Concierge Medicine Today LLC 4080 McGinnis Ferry Road Building 800, Suite 801 Alpharetta, Georgia 30005 United States +17704551650
