Whether it is for lack of time to prepare meals or seeking quick dopamine hits, we rely more and more on processed food, which not only lacks essential nutrients but also takes a toll on our health. Recent studies show that at least 88% of American adults have some kind of metabolic issue. 

In this episode, we welcome Jenn Livengood, who invites us to look differently at what we put in our bodies. Jenn is a registered dietitian and functional nutritionist passionate about helping people incorporate healthy lifestyle habits with the sole purpose of assisting them to experience lasting changes and increased longevity.
