Be Organic

When it comes to food, everyone has a story. The way you feel about food, think about food, deprive yourself or overindulge, the specific things you crave…There’s a story behind it. Your food story is a big swirl of many things: how you were raised; the messages you received from influential people and absorbed from the media; your positive memories and your painful memories about food. All of it comes together to create thoughts and patterns that directly impact your health and happiness. The bottom line: Finding peace with food isn’t about eating more kale, drinking more water, or doing more yoga. It’s about unlocking your inner narrative about what you eat and why you eat what you do.  

Here to talk to us today about food stories is Elise Museles! Elise Museles holds four certificates in holistic health and integrative healing. A frequent speaker,  Elise is also host of the popular Once Upon a Food Story podcast. Her work has been featured in Forbes, O, The Oprah Magazine, Health, Self, ELLE, Well+Good, and more!

The power of healing can be found in the simplest of things: the Earth. It’s easy to take for granted dirt, farming, planting food, and what goes into the tomato we pick up casually on the grocery store shelves. Listen to hear a powerful story of healing, the impact that farming and soil has on our health, and small steps you can take to make a difference on your health and the environment. 

In this episode Kat and Landon sit down with Jordan Rubin, co-founder and CEO of Ancient Nutrition, a supplement company with its mission to restore our health, strength and vitality by providing history's healthiest whole food nutrients to the modern world. Jordan has an incredible healing story about his struggle with chronic illness, the dramatic toll it took on his body, and how he was able to heal with the power of food (and much more). 

“We tend to take for granted that behind every organic food, every organic juice, every organic supplement - there are farmers so that you can eat the way you want to. It’s an under-appreciated trade.”

“40% of food in the world turns into food waste that goes into landfills.”
