The Midlife Feast

#76- Food Is Not Medicine & Other Ways to Lower the Bar


Listen Later

Wondering why in the world would a naturopathic doctor and dietitian would suggest that food is not medicine. It’s a great question and one I wanted to tackle for the last episode of season 3. There’s no doubt about it-food does incredible things for our bodies. It fuels, supports, and nourishes us every day. But here’s a little secret: broccoli alone can’t save your life. Food is just food!

The pressure we feel to choose only the most “perfect” foods often ends up taking so much of our time and attention in an already demanding season of life. In this episode, I’ll be sharing 5 ways you can lower the bar to improve your health. I would love to know which one takes the pressure off your relationship with food the most! 

I’ve already got so much in store for you for Season 4, so take a minute to catch up on any episodes you’ve missed and I’ll meet you back here in September!
