In this episode, Lauran Michael and McKenzie Cruz dive into the essentials of nutrition—breaking down the difference between whole foods and ultra-processed options, why seed oils and added sugars deserve a second look, and how small changes like meal prepping can make a big impact. They explore how ingredient quality affects your well-being, and how many chronic conditions can be prevented—or even reversed—through dietary choices. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by food labels or just want to feel better in your body, this conversation will give you the tools to start making more empowered, informed decisions.
