Today on the podcast we have a conversation with Kailey Donewald the founder of "Sacred Serve" a line of plant-powered Gelato. After years of struggling with debilitating allergies and asthma and hearing doctors tell her that she would have to take medicine her entire life, Kailey healed herself through food while living in Indonesia. 

Kailey returned home to Chicago and was on a mission to help people heal through food too -- and created Sacred Serve. Sacred Service is a plant-powered gelato that is focused on adding function into the frozen aisle. Kailey wants to remind people that food is here to nourish our bodies. With a base of organic young coconut meat mixed with superfoods, adaptogenic herbs and medicinal mushrooms, a creamy gelato is born and packed with plant-based nutrition -- and it’s super delicious too! We are big fans and really enjoyed hearing about Kailey’s personal journey in wellness, healing through food, and her entrepreneur journey!

Today on the podcast we have a wonderful conversation with Elinor Cleghorn, Author of  Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World. This book discusses the history of misdiagnosis and myth in women’s health. Elin’s story began 10 years ago when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In her book, Elinor, traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect.

Elinor has a background in feminist culture and history, and her critical writing has been published in several academic journals, including Screen. After receiving her PhD in humanities and cultural studies in 2012, Elinor worked for three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford on an interdisciplinary arts and medical humanities project. She has given talks and lectures at the British Film Institute, where she has been a regular contributor to the education program and she has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 discussion show: The Forum.  She now works as a freelance writer and researcher and lives in Sussex. We have the most incredible conversation on women’s health, advocacy, and Elinor’s own personal journey!

Today on the show we welcome Alex Caspero, co- founder, of Plant Based Juniors. Alex and her co-founder Whitney are both registered dietitians with a passion for making childhood nutrition as effortless as possible. On this episode Alex talks all about their new book, The Plant Based Baby and Toddler, which offers easy-to-digest nutritional facts and guidelines that aren't available elsewhere, with a special focus on the most important period of a child's life when it comes to developing good eating habits: infancy and toddlerhood. 

On this episode we unpack myths about childhood nutrition, and discuss everything from establishing a healthy microbiome from early childhood, meeting nutrition needs through food and supplementation, and how all children, whether plant based or omnivores, can get more nutrient dense food options on their plates. This episode, although very educational for parents, has something for everyone. Even if you don’t have children, you can learn a lot from Alex’s expertise. She has a wealth of knowledge and an easy and non-dogmatic style in her approach to plant based eating. We even talk about the best way to navigate the social components of food for developing children. 

To learn more about Alex and buy the book you can visit: www.plantbasedjuniors.com or follow in instagram @plantbasedjuniors
