The human body has a deep interconnection with food. The food we eat undergoes the process of digestion, assimilation and absorption of key nutrients, and provides energy to every single cell in our body. Today, you’re going to learn more about how your nutrition impacts your body and your ability to heal.

On this episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to hear my interview with Max Lugavere on The Genius Life Podcast. You’re going to learn about the best foods for brain health, the importance of sharing meals with your family, and why being dogmatic about nutrition can actually be harmful in the long run. We’re going to talk about the state of health in the United States, and simple, science-backed things you can do to have a positive impact on your children’s health outcomes.

You’re also going to hear about the powerful influence you have with the people in your household, and the best tip for inspiring others to make healthier choices. I hope this conversation reminds you of the innate power you hold to create change, not only in yourself, but for your family and community. Enjoy!
