Have you noticed how dogmatic we are about the food we eat?
In today’s world we are bombarded by all sorts of information.
Sometimes the advice makes sense and we make changes in the way we eat, sleep, or exercise.
Recently I talked with a teacher of mine, Richard Madelbaum. Richard is a clinician, educator and botanist. He always surprises and inspires me with his ideas and stories. This conversation was no different.
Richard’s views on nutrition were especially interesting for me. We talked about trends and the pendulum swinging from low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets to high-fat, low-carb ones in the past decade.
Richard looks at how we eat on a very individualized basis, reminding us that one size does NOT fit all when it comes to nourishment. And I love this approach of critical evaluation and analysis.
In this short clip Richard shared his hopes for possible changes in our overly dogmatic world of food.
We also chatted about fair trade, botany, medicine making and so much more.
