When was the last time that you were driving and someone cut you off at the last second at a light, or you were walking on the sidewalk and a biker whizzed by you, interrupting your peaceful walk and just pissed you right off to the point of being off about it for the rest of the day, or for even longer? I think I can speak for all of us shit happens, and when […]
Where do you choose to spend your grocery or food budget? If you’ve listened to this podcast and show before, you’ll know that I’m an avid weekly market goer, and I LOVE knowing where my food comes from. I’m inspired by the same foods everyone else buys and more so by the rare foods finds that aren’t found at the typical big box supermarket and speaking with the humans who are involved in farming in […]
In the field of medicine, as well as doctors, specialists, and hospital acute care, there are an array of alternative and complementary medical practices.

Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food, is a very well-known and used phrase said by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. He also ranked mushrooms as a superfood since the beginning of time, a smart man.
