What is nutritional alchemy? How are energy and food connected? In this episode, Dr. Stephanie and Serena Poon, nutritionist, culinary alchemist, and celebrity chef, discuss reiki healing, the chakras, and what all of that has to do with how we eat and interact with our food. They dive deep into ways to use food for healing and mastering the power of surrender. Discover how to enhance every aspect of your life through thoughtful gratitude practice, setting healthy boundaries, and eliminating stress.
