Dive into a delightful, bite-sized conversation with Kevin (our resident nutrition noob) and Michelle (Registered Holistic Nutritionist) as they unravel the truth behind chocolate ceremonies. In this bonus episode, with special guest María Mancini Cenobio from Mayana Cacao, they break down:
- What exactly is a “chocolate ceremony”?
- Are ceremonial cacao rituals powerful wellness tools, or just marketing hype?
- Nutrient breakdown: ceremonial cacao vs. everyday chocolate
- Potential health benefits—like antioxidants, mood-boosting theobromine, and gut health
- Red flags and cautions: misconceptions around dosage, caffeine content, and ritualistic trends
Short, sweet, and packed with science-backed insight, this bonus episode is perfect for anyone curious about ceremonial cacao, healthy chocolate rituals, or the intersection of nutrition and cultural food traditions. (Listen to episodes 33 and 34 for more completed discussions with María.)
