111: Blasphemous Nutrition with Aimee Gallo

Wow, I loved this conversation with Aimee Gallo! She calls herself 'unapologetically candid,' in her podcast description, and I'm 100% here for it. Aimee's not afraid to question or disagree with what we've been hearing our whole lives about nutrition on her podcast, Blasphemous Nutrition. She's not just being contrary; she's been studying nutrition her whole life (since 12 years old, REALLY!).

I just love how Aimee tells you that we've basically been fed garbage in the understanding that we have been given, that there are no real studies to back statements up - she focuses on meat a lot - a very controversial subject, of course. And she spent several years Vegan, so she's really speaking from her research AND life experience. She's a Nutrition Coach, by the way---

She also talks about how food nourishes us, not just 'is it healthy or not.' I mentioned a recent post about electrolytes, and how that kind of blew my mind, and also just made me really think about what I KNOW about. my food.

This conversation is entertaining and enlightening, and really makes you consider what we know. And I love that so much! You can listen to the whole conversation here --
