How do we really know what our food labels mean, and what is just a marketing tool?

This week we DEFINED different food labels commonly seen in the grocery store!

This week’s guest is Rain Reich, an expert in agriculture management and our go-to source for figuring out the difference between “organic”, “natural”, “hormone free” and so much more!

This week you'' learn why you should care about food labeling, and how voluntary food labels appeal to marketing strategies more than the actual nutritional content of the food product! We encourage you to respect your budget, and stop depriving yourself of food because of a label. You can find Rain on Instagram and Tik Tok @rainreich.

This week we focused on a topic of health and nutrition that many of us know all too well... emotional eating. Well we say it's time to break up with the old way of thinking, and introduce some habits that support out mental, emotional, and physical health- otherwise known as the trifecta!

This week, learn about Kathrine's "wake up call" moment involving her family's health, inspiring her to devote her life and career to helping herself and others deal with the management and prevention of chronic diseases.

There is so much more to health than what we put in our body. We touched on obsessions surrounding food and health restrictions, otherwise known as the term coined "orthorexia", emotional eating, toxic language, and how to ride the line of passion for fitness and health and a disordered lifestyle.

Tune in this week for conversations about longevity in health and what you can do to be on a path of wellness.
