Fish is a staple diet among many communities around the world and it’s valued for its taste and nutrition. It’s a wonderful source of protein and it also has a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids - the ‘good fat’ known to benefit your heart and brain!

Not just that, a fish diet is rich in micronutrients and low in calories.

But be that as it may, the fact is that fish eating comes with a caveat these days. For starters, relentless water pollution and chemical-induced fish farming have made them poisonous to an extent.

Mercury accumulation is one of the major problems in fish meat and consuming such fish could lead to major health problems. Also, eating canned fish may not be the solution as our certified NTP Sarah Sloan points out in this video.

Watch the full podcast here to know more about fish eating and how to choose the right kind of fish. You’ll learn a great deal about popular fish species, which of them are safe to eat, and which ones to avoid in general.

Did you know our ancestors had access to about 1800 varieties of food whereas we only have 20 at best?! How did our food palate shrink so much in just a matter of decades? It’s a matter of serious concern and something that needs our attention now more than ever.

Food biodiversity is not a luxury but a necessity of life. It sustains our life, our health, our well-being, and our environment. Industrial food practices, monoculture farming, and climate change are silently driving many food species to extinction.

Even popular food items like avocado and cocoa are endangered and could soon become scarce or even go extinct! This calls for a strategic shift to sustainable farming and to save our edible biodiversity.

Join us in this episode of Food Farmacy Show where we trace the history of diverse food species and the threats to existing species. Our certified NTP Sarah Sloan covers every aspect of food biodiversity and gives her expert recommendations to prevent biodiversity loss.

A long time ago, Hippocrates said, “all disease begins in the gut”. This statement holds true even today as modern scientific evidence points out. A healthy gut is a precursor of a healthy body and mind, and you’ll know why, in this video.

Research suggests that the gut microbiome has a crucial role to play in maintaining physical and mental health. There’s a combination of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut and their balance is important for functions like digestion and immune response.

In fact, an imbalance of the gut microbiome could lead to various health problems. From gut dysbiosis and constipation to GI infections, there are several diseases that find their origin in the gut.

Watch the video to get an in-depth knowledge of gut health. Get expert recommendations from our certified NTP to improve your gut health and be in the best shape of your life.

In her book, ‘Fortify Your Life’, Tieraona Low Dog makes a shocking prediction. She says that for the first time in history, parents will outlive their children. This is not a one-off view but expert consensus.

The reason? Well, it has a lot to do with modern diets and its limitations.

In this video, we talk about the massive variety of foods that our ancestors ate and how we eat just a fraction of that. Our ancestral diet was predominantly plant-based and contained as much as 1000-1500 varieties of food. Compare it to our modern diets where an average person has access to just 18-20 varieties!

Our certified NTP, Sarah Sloan has some insightful recommendations on how to include more diverse foods into your diet. She highlights the importance of sourcing local food and “eating a rainbow”.

This episode is packed with great nutritional knowledge and how initiatives like Local Food Direct are helping people go organic.
