TMHS 794: How Other People Impact Your Biochemistry and Health

Statistics about our population’s health outcomes can sometimes feel overwhelming and disheartening. So many folks around the world are plagued by chronic diseases, obesity, and are caught in the marketing trap of ultra-processed foods that are destroying their health. Unfortunately, we can’t control what other people do – but what we do have influence over is our own health and our families’ lifestyle. 

On this episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to hear my interview with Jim Kwik on the Kwik Brain Podcast. We discussed important principles from The Eat Smarter Family Cookbook, like the important connection between culture and eating habits, the science behind shared family meals, and so much more.
