Today’s Life Question of the Week comes from someone who asks that as a Black woman who is evolving into a love-consciousness, how can she shift from talking about issues of race from a place of anger and separation?

Next, Michael sits down with Shawn Stevenson. Shawn is the author of the national bestseller, Eat Smarter and the international bestseller, Sleep Smarter. He’s also the host and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the number #1 health podcast in the U.S. Shawn’s new book, Eat Smarter: The Family Cookbook, features 100 family-friendly recipes plus the latest scientific findings on nutrition and health to help you boost your metabolism and up-level your energy to start living a happier life.

In this deeply informative and revelatory conversation, Michael and Shawn discuss: 

–How a “one size” approach doesn’t fit at all when it comes to diet and food culture, and that catering to one’s own personality and unique metabolic fingerprint is the future of wellness and medicine

–The studies revealing that families who eat at least three meals together per week consume more whole foods–and less ultra-processed foods–and have improved health outcomes, and that employees who are able to go home and eat dinner with their families experienced higher work morale and productivity

–That the number one determinant of how long we live is our relationships and how family meals can have a unifying effect on family relationships

–Smarter strategies for lower-cost healthy food shopping, minimizing food waste, selecting healthier cookware, transforming kitchen culture—and so, so much more!
