3. FOOD AS MEDICINE


Listen Later

Join me and guest, Marne Minard, for a conversation about food as medicine. 

To Marne, the idea of food as medicine is a concept woven like a thread into how she and others live their lives. It doesn’t necessarily mean following a dogmatic list of rules or a specific diet protocol, it can simply mean “eating well." What does "eating well" look like. It could be eating with the seasons, eating as locally as possible, supporting sustainable agriculture, eating balanced meals which include plant foods, and limiting consumption of processed and packaged foods. It can also mean turning to foods for their healing benefits when needed, such as bone broths for immune health and turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties.  Marne found her passion for nutrition and food as medicine while working for the University of Oregon Athletics Department and being immersed in the athletic world. She became very interested in the diets of collegiate athletes and was shocked to learn about the poor quality of many of the foods provided to them. Marne's passion led her to leave U of O and pursue her Masters in nutrition and eventually open Bastion PDX a gluten, dairy, refined sugar, corn and soy free restaurant in Sellwood, OR. Bastion PDX proves that "eating well" also means enjoying delicious comfort food. Bastion PDX is a place where everyone, including those with food sensitivities can enjoy a meal out with friends and family and without fear.
