Ep.11 - The Truth Behind ‘Healthy’ Packaged Foods

In this powerful episode of The Wellness Reset, Luke Coutinho sits down with Shashank Mehta, founder of The Whole Truth, to discuss transparency, ethics, and the hidden realities of the food industry.

Shashank shares his personal journey with obesity, losing 40 kilograms twice, and how that struggle pushed him to study food science and build a brand based on honesty. He explains why many “healthy” foods contain hidden sugars, how preservatives extend shelf life, and why listing every ingredient with its percentage is essential for consumer trust.

The conversation also covers influencer marketing ethics, rigorous testing for contaminants like heavy metals, pricing challenges of clean ingredients, and the future of honest nutrition — especially for children.

If you want to understand what’s really inside your food and how to make better choices, this episode is a must-watch.
