But behind every meal, your body is carrying out thousands of invisible calculations. Usually, you never think about any of it. But when something goes wrong? You think about it all the time.

On Eating, Interrupted, veteran journalist and Crohn's disease patient Cynthia McFadden explores what happens when food stops feeling simple, and starts feeling personal.

From chronic conditions, to food allergies, to the latest science on the gut, brain, and immune system, this is a show about all the complicated ways our bodies respond to what we eat.

Real stories. Real science. This is Eating, Interrupted.

More than a quarter say they have intolerances. Throw in “sensitivities”? It starts to feel like everyone has some kind of dietary restriction. But what do these labels really mean? 

In the premiere of Eating Interrupted, host Cynthia McFadden sits down with gastroenterologist Dr. Mark Pimentel to break down the differences between allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities, what’s happening in the body, and what trends we are seeing in the allergy world. We also meet Mia, a creator and advocate living with more than 50 food allergies, who shares what it’s like to navigate dating, dining out, and the constant risk of anaphylaxis, while using her platform to challenge misinformation and help others feel less alone.
