Had a blast chatting with my colleague + fellow dietitian - Andy De Santis - on this episode. Andy is a wealth of knowledge in the nutrition space. Topics discussed on this episode:
-What are our bodies primary 'detox' organs? What does detox even mean?
-How 'detox' can be a buzzword + marketing tactic in the wellness space.
-Taking care of our liver: what it does, nutrition/lifestyle interventions, monitoring our health through routine bloodwork.
-Fatty liver disease: how it happens + consequences of a liver that isn't functioning properly.
-Importance of micronutrients and plant compounds from the diet.
-Does it matter if these fiber foods are canned, frozen, fresh, organic or conventional?
-Supplements and common nutrients that are beneficial for overall health.
-Coffee.. what's the deal with it? Is it 'good'? Health benefits that come from coffee + how it can help you poop in the morning. Considerations when drinking it etc.
+so much more in-between.
