Healthy Eating at Home: What Works, What Doesn’t, and What Tastes Good: Nutritionist Stef Sassos

Good Housekeeping Good Better Best Interview Series, The Not Old Better Show

In this episode, Paul sits down with Stefani Sassos, Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Nutrition and Fitness Lab, to find out what really goes into those beautifully packaged, chef-prepared meals. We cover everything—taste, nutrition, expiration dates, and how to make smart, satisfying food choices that actually work for your lifestyle, especially if you’re 60 and up.

Stefani is a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and mom who lives in the real world. She knows what it’s like to feed a family on a weeknight, and she’s tested more than 50 different meal services—not just for health, but for flavor and usability. Her insights will help you sort the fads from the facts, and her practical tips will save you time, money, and frustration.

We talk about why trust matters, what really makes a healthy meal satisfying, and how aging adults can use today’s tech-savvy food solutions to support longevity, energy, and wellness—without getting overwhelmed.
