Episode 005 – soy, immune health, sugar, and exercise

In episode 5, I’m addressing some of your nutrition/wellness/lifestyle questions. Specifically, I cover four main topics: whether or not soy is health; how to support the immune system (think getting into cold/flu season); healthy sweeteners; and the best exercise for health.

NOTable Quotes

» Regarding soy – “What is key: quality, how it’s grown, how it’s processed, how it’s prepared. Organic, non-GMO, traditional preparations. Ideally, in my opinion, fermented options are best.”

» “Remember, no ONE food or supplement will magically fix all of your health problems. It is your overall diet, eating patterns, and entire lifestyle! We need to be thinking about inflammation, quality, lifestyle, etc.”

» “We can’t just eat whatever we want and then ‘go on a detox.’ We need to be thinking about supporting daily detoxification because God created our bodies to detoxify and eliminate toxins and waste everyday.“

» Regarding sweeteners: “I recommend going as whole as possible.” 

» Regarding exercise: “The best exercise is the exercise that you enjoy and that which you will do regularly… incorporate some form of cardio, resistance or weight bearing activity, and stretching.”
