Solving Functional Food Facts Confusion

This episode focuses on solving functional food facts confusion. We’ll explore the most common questions I receive from practitioners about how to guide their patients and clients to adopting healthy food choices. We'll also discuss the food phobia that's developed as a result of the availability of so many summits, podcasts and blogs that profess their own food religion, which creates a fear of eating and confusion in people. Tune in to learn how to guide your clients and patients in adopting healthy food choices.
