In this holiday finale, the Green Docs review Christmas movies, more seasonal mocktails, and healthy holiday recipes with Angie Neison – a Family Medicine doctor sharing her unique training in lifestyle and culinary medicine.  She gives you step-by-step recipes for hearty vegetable accouterments, green & red Christmas pasta with grated cheese “snow”, and fresh takes on traditional tamales.  She even designed a holiday mocktail just for this show!  You’ll want to take notes to create your own “Herb Tea-zzy.”

 

Nate and Bruce cover the latest headlines: Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2023 (can you guess?), why there’s so much excitement over motorcycle taxis called “boda-bodas”, and new insights into the environment that created Tiny Tim’s famous illness.  You’ll learn why the cures from Dickensian London are just as relevant for the challenges ahead in the new year.  Plus, Nate reveals his secret to the perfect Cacio e Pepe!  Tune in for this 2023 finale and keep the holiday magic simmering into 2024.
