It does not exclude the use of medication or other forms of therapy. It’s really meant to act in conjunction with and to complement other forms of treatment.” 1:24

“If we’re specifically talking about pregnancy, there are lots of studies that show that various different plant based eating patterns, not just vegan, not just vegetarian, reduce the risk of certain pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, such as preeclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy, and maybe even have those cognitive benefits that we talked about before.” 22:18

Kristel and Michael talk in this episode about what their favorite superfoods are and why we use superfoods. Just one handful of berries contains a whole plethora of concentrated nutrients, providing our bodies with the vitamins and minerals they need to thrive. We tell about the products we use to help supplement our bodies to improve various aspects such as energy, clear mental state, and even fertility. We talk about an awesome palm tree we found that is so high in antioxidants that people who consume it have way less wrinkles than someone who doesn’t consume it as they age. 
 
What are our favorite superfoods? 0:52 
Micronutrients 2:18 
Great story of someone using our mixes 7:02 
Kristel’s dietary plan 10:14 
Some of the ingredients in our mix 13:29 
Healthy bowel movements 16:33 
 
“Micronutrients obviously have vitamins and minerals, but they’re so much more than that. Obviously when you take supplements it’s often only about the vitamins and minerals, but there are so many more nutrients in food and in plants that our body needs to thrive and to truly be healthy.” 2:19 


Kristel & Michael’s favorite superfood (mixes) for everyday use:
→ why use superfoods / why we should focus on micronutrients first (vs macronutrients!)
→ what are superfoods 
→ why we use certain mixes 
→ how / different recipes
→ what time of the day 
→ what we eat in a day
