Learning how to heal your body with food isn’t something we are taught growing up. Nor is it something we typically learn until it’s too late.
This episode was so important to me personally because I have experienced food negatively affecting my body. It impacted how I was able to show up and do the work of my purpose.
I invited Dr. Lauren onto the show to expand our view of food so that we can continue to thrive and live whole, healthy lives.
