When most of us think about Food, we think about proteins, carbohydrates and fats that fuel our body. But food is a complex science that goes beyond knowing just the nutritional facts or caloric intake. There are other dimensions to food that contribute directly to your cumulative health and longevity. In fact, there is a remarkable symbiotic relationship between food that nourishes our physical body and the 'food' that nourishes our Well-being. Understanding this interplay between Food Health and Food Well-being is crucial to changing the trajectory of your overall health. Understanding this balance is vital to maintaining life long integrative wellness.
