Show Notes

Anna Heinauer is an integrative nutrition health coach and she’s co-owner of The Lettucehead Food Company. Host Adam Williams talks with Anna about many things nutrition. Like, what is it, really? And why should we care about it?

They talk about the value of local food sources and the costs of short- versus long-term nutritional choices. They also talk about why the food pyramid chart that so many of us grew up with is bogus and what nutritional guidance has replaced that pyramid. 

Adam also gets Anna’s insights on some “tricky foods,” and asks about the impact of genetics and bio-individuality on one’s health. Among other nutritious things.
