In today’s episode, we’re breaking down 8 common nutrition myths and giving you real life, doable suggestions to help drive the truth home and create more balance and nourishment in your life. From why fat is actually one of the healthiest things you can eat to the truth about whole grains, we’re breaking down the hot topics that tend to confuse us right into a box of donuts. January is a month where you hear a lot more health and nutrition commercials, blog posts, ads and the like that are usually full of recommendations that can actually go against our desire to get and be healthy, despite our best efforts. This isn’t because they’re trying to scam you, but a lot of old and debunked info is still being taught that just isn’t doing our bodies any justice. In the words of our favorite reality TV stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines, “It’s demo day!”  Can we be candid with you today? Our dream is for this podcast to grow and reach hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to help encourage our listeners to create

If healthy eating and living still seem like rocket science to you, this is your episode. Today we’ve got on the fabulous #ladyboss behind the healthy lifestyle company, Simply Real Health, and author of The Simply Real Health Cookbook, Sarah Adler.  Sarah shares how she came to “break the chains” of dieting and food obsession and learned to create more joy surrounding food. She’s in the business of “food freedom,” as she calls it, and we absolutely love this concept!  Like us, she’s passionate about spreading the word on the power of simple, real food and she’s made it her life’s mission to take the stress out of it all. And she’s really good at it. We dig into Sarah’s ritual for closing out the year and creating better focus, direction and passion in the new year and why matcha should be in your shopping cart ASAP (even the perfect cup to drink it in!).  We love what Sarah’s doing in the world of real food and healthy living and are so excited for you to be inspired by this episode!
