HEALTH HOTLINE #5: am I potentially hurting my health by avoiding animal products?
Last week on the podcast we sat down with holistic health coach Molly McKenzie, who shared with us her experience being vegan and why she ultimately decided that it was no longer working for her body. Part of our discussion included changes she saw in her health once she added animal products back in, but what we didn't dive too deep into is why or how avoiding animal products affects the body in the first place. Are we getting all the right minerals and nutrients if we exclude animal products completely? Does our body need these foods to function properly? And what if you still want to be vegan but also want to make sure you're fully meeting your body's needs?
In this health hotline, Liv goes SUPER in depth on this topic and breaks it down on a scientific level combined with patterns she's seen in her own nutritional therapy practice. This episode is for anyone who's wondering if/how animal products have a place in our diets and the best way to make sure your body is getting what it needs, regardless of what diet you may subscribe to. You may want to take notes for this one!! :)

HEALTH HOTLINE #4: how can I tell how my food was grown?
Conventional, organic, pasture-raised, regenerative... what the heck is the difference? And what does it tell you about the way your food was grown or raised? And then once you know this info, how do you distinguish between the different types at the store or at your local farmers market? It can all be really confusing and labels aren't always the most helpful, so Tatum is giving us the run down on farming systems, food sourcing, and why she thinks regenerative is the way to go. This episode also dives into agriculture's impact on climate change and how going regenerative can contribute to the reversal of global warming as well as increase connection to your food and the food system.

Hot take -- gluten/dairy free does not automatically mean a product is healthier!! Gluten and dairy are two foods that are often villainized - but why?
