Join me on this enlightening podcast episode as I dive deep into the essence of eating right and embracing the power of whole, unprocessed foods. In a world where refined foods dominate our plates, it's crucial to understand the profound impact on our health and well-being. I recently shared a meme on Instagram that sparked a crucial conversation about the link between refined foods and mineral depletion in our bodies. In this episode, we'll explore the timeless wisdom of Michael Pollan's famous quote, "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food," and how it aligns with our modern-day challenges. I'll share personal experiences and insights about transitioning from a diet of processed foods to a real, whole-food approach. Our journey will lead us back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors and the significance of consuming a mix of wild plant and animal foods, free from artificial additives and genetic modifications. Understanding the role of food as powerful medicine, we'll uncover the energy and information that every molecule in our body derives from what we consume. Navigating the complexities of food choices in our current culture, I discuss the importance of eating organic, non-GMO produce, and the benefits of locally sourced options. I provide tips for gradually reducing sugar and simple carbs, making way for superhero carbs like sweet potatoes and quinoa. Let's embrace the joy of incorporating more vegetables into our meals, exploring a diverse array of colors and flavors to create nourishing dishes. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to healthy eating; find YOUR "goldilocks" amount that sustains your energy and supports your well-being. Tune in for a simplified, holistic approach to nutrition and learn how to create a healthy relationship with food, free from restrictive rules and dogmas.  *by the way, I recommend listening to my podcast at 1.5x speed  (since I talk *painfully* slow) Links that were mentioned in the episode if you want to dig further:  Summer nutrition to hydrate the natural way HEREHow to Create a healthy diet you enjoy - blog post lots of resources links HEREQuit your trendy diet!
