Following our French episode #6 with hypnotherapist Alix George, this is the English version which we had the pleasure to record live in London.

How does our societal conditioning makeup our food habits? In this visceral conversation, Alix George, a humanist hypnotherapist based in Paris (and dear friend) takes us on an existential ride to understand how our environment impacts our physical and mental health, and how hypnotherapy can help us heal our wounds.

Untraditional seems to be the word that best describes Dimitri. At only 27 years old, Dimitri explores formative experiences as an apprentice chef seeking freedom, expression, and connection. From cooking for festivals to traveling the world nomadically, Dimitri and I discuss how food, culture, and habits forge us and impact how we cook.

Hi Chewers, 

Welcome to Digest with ChewChoose, a podcast exploring the influence of food on our soil, body, and soul. Digest invites Chefs, entrepreneurs, farmers, holistic practitioners and a broad spectrum of essential actors to discuss the impact of food on our wellbeing. 

Beyond the plate, we discuss ascending topics from mindful table rituals and regenerative farming to finding chi energy in our diets to name just a few. 

My name is Lea Sednaoui, your host, and for some background knowledge,let me tell you a little more about ChewChoose.

At the turn of my thirtieth birthday, with a late Masters in my pocket and horrific acne on my face, I was petrified at my state of health for my age. Doubly fearful of the cancers that ravaged some of my family, my intuition led me to restore my health through nutrition. 

I discovered the Blood Type Diet® which revived me to the core and became to this day, a way of life. In a matter of meals, I realized the power of the gut-brain connection, and started ChewChoose a playful pun to encourage a mindful bite. 

From instagram account to website, dining club and catering service, ChewChoose has organically forged the way I cook following seasonality bringing provenance to the fore with reverence to heritage. 

So Today, Digest with ChewChoose, embarks us on an epicurean journey to invite meaning and purpose from field to fork with wonderful guests. 

Happy listening!
