It's the beginning of the annual food fest. This week we'll discuss strategies for the handling the holidays and the deluge of eating events. We'll also share some things for which we are grateful. We're just weeks from The Healthspan Solution publish date and we'll be sharing some recipes for download that will be perfect for parties and keeping your diet on track through the new year. 

This week we dig into food distractions. Is it fresh or frozen? How do food labels move us and why you might want to remove some of the barriers to picking produce, especially when getting started. It's a conversation about vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. 

This week we begin to define Healthspan. Mild cold stress doesn't require freezing your ass off and dietary restriction isn't starvation. How much activity is enough? And what about 30% less monkey chow, what's up with that? 

This week we are discussing those crazy food rules that seem to creep into our lives. What does it take to succeed? Why is staying on the plan so difficult when traveling? Do you plan your vacation days around eating? Let's laugh together at those games people play with food. 

In this episode we explore how our view of food and nutrition has changed over the last 15-20 years, especially the deficiency mindset. We talk about inclusive versus exclusive diet definition and the fed versus the fasted state. Is moderation the key to success or is it the well worn path to mediocrity? Join us for another Science and Saucery.

It's Episode 1 and we wanted to test the entire process, from recording to editing to distribution. Join us as we have a casual conversation about finishing The Healthspan Solution and explore topics for future episodes. Our new book will publish December 2019 and is available for preorder now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online book outlets. More details can be found at HealthspanSolution.com.
