In this episode, we interview culinary and wellness Expert Maureen McNellis on “How to Have a Beginner's Mindset When it Comes to Food.” As online health and wellness coaches we believe that everyone is capable of truly enjoying healthy foods without feeling deprived or feel like they are suffering from major food FOMO.

-Get to know Maureen-

Maureen is a culinary and wellness expert. As a food lover, she’s explored and experienced the healing strength of freshly prepared foods that are sourced expertly and combined properly. She has specialized in working with food allergies and other ailments while informed by the Five Elements scholasticism of Chinese food-based medicine. The role that food plays on our self and planetary healing is a focus in her life both personally and professionally. She passionately shares the knowledge that you can change your health and your life by making just a few changes to your diet."Let food be thy medicine"- Hippocrates

Her thirst for knowledge and excitement after having attended the world renown Kushi Institute for Macrobiotics led her to the world’s most acclaimed whole foods culinary school: the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City.

Her diverse background has led her to work as a chef for the Sha Wellness Clinic in Spain, yoga retreats in Greece, high profile celebrity clients, an internship with celebrity vegetarian chef Simone Salvini in Rome, and most recently the opportunity to co-create a vegetarian restaurant in Sardinia. I want to share this vital knowledge: a local, sustainable, whole food (mostly) plant based diet is the key to being successful in the health of the mind, body and spirit. Her creations are inspired to help you thrive, not just survive!
