We Feel Super Nourished!

Today, Alex and I start a conversation about holistic health.  Our objective is to discuss how mental, vocational, spiritual, and social health each interact with physical health.  Today, we tackle mental health and vocational health!  Hear our process as we draw the conclusion that it's hard to talk about one area of health without incorporating the others (quite the point!).

Linkable mentioned in this episode: Masataco in Whittier, CA.

Now that you've met our four amazing cohosts, we're turning the attention to YOU!  We're starting to receive excellent feedback from listeners wanting to create their own unique lifestyle diets.  We know trying to get healthy can feel overwhelming, so today Lorrie and I break down the looming question: "Where do I start?".  You'll find out why an empty canister of popcorn is a red flag for me and you'll hear some personal highs and lows from both of us in our new segment.

Today, you meet our final rotating cohost!  Alex is an old friend of mine who loves holding out for the most celebratory moments to indulge in rich foods.  I think you'll appreciate her freedom philosophy...and I wonder if it will get you thinking about what structures you like to have in place around food.
