Welcome back to the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast. I'm your host, Debi Robinson, and today, we're diving deep into the transformative power of food with the founder of Curry Girls Kitchen, Peggy Curry.  Peggy is a lifelong educator, food entrepreneur, author, speaker and award-winning health and wellness advocate, who has spent decades supporting others on their health journey.  Today Peggy joins us  and shares her wealth of experience in advocating for food as medicine. She also shares her cleansing reset program designed to combat inflammation and identify food triggers, as well as some indispensable dietary insights. We’ll also explore the emotional side of food and talk about food's role in preventing health issues. Together, Peggy and I will explore the systemic effects of gluten, particularly on the gallbladder, the importance of iron and fermented foods for gut health, and why rotating food choices is essential for nutrient diversity.
