Today’s episode is the Part 2 to my last episode (episode #93) and unlike The Hangover Part 2, this follow-up gets two thumbs up. Although this doesn’t have Bradley Cooper so you win some, you lose some. But my guest, Samantha Elkrief, is the perfect piggyback to Dr. Drew Ramsey from last week because she works with him! He’s the doctor in the nutritional psychiatry clinic and she’s the implementer! He’s the one all about the science of how food affects our mood and she’s the one about the hows of actually EATING said good moody food. Samantha’s a holistic health coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (me too!) and a health supportive chef from the Natural Gourmet Institute (me also too!) and a social worker by way of Columbia University (me not at all). She specializes in helping peeps eat more plants and find permanent peace and joy with food. And speaking of joy, speaking with Samantha was exactly that!
