In this episode of The Complete Woman Podcast, Tori sits down with Jesse Allen to talk about why food is medicine. This is a crash course on not only the basics of food consumption, but also sugar and what it’s doing to our overall health. Jesse goes into some fascinating information on the food industry, different diets, what’s healthy, what we should be eating, and how supplements play into all of this. Studies show that 88% of adult Americans are metabolically unfit, and calories from ultra processed foods now make up over 60% of our American diet. The food that we put into our body is just communication for our cells and our bodies go into a state of chaos when we’re not putting the right information and communication in there.
