Podcasts about food philosopher

Nothing turns a house more quickly into a home than food. The smells and the tastes can instantly transport you back to a particular time and place. With the Jewish holiday of Purim rapidly approaching, this episode is particularly great. We have with us food writer Rachel Ringler, who is helping us discover amazing Jewish foods both in and out of New York City. Rachel Ringler is a museum docent, challah instructor and cook who has strong feelings about the important role food plays in life, in family, and in community. You might know her from her myriad of food-think pieces she has written for The Foward and Mudrack. She gracefully reminds us that food is not just a biological necessity, but a vital philosophy that can transform our lives, our relationships, and our communities. We talk about everything from why Israeli food is finally getting the spotlight, to why we forget about the power of a meal and a nap, and to how she came to be in the kitchen of a famous Israeli hotel baking challah for over 200 people. Come join us for an intimate conversation about the power of food as more than just necessary physical nourishment, but a stronghold for our spiritual and emotional needs as well. Today, Rachel and I dynamically reach an important truth of life: Food is Home. And Home is Food.

Meet Sherry Strong, former sugar addict. She has a lot to say about the sugar consumption epidemic in this country and the problem it causes. According to various reports, Americans consume between 150 and 170 lbs of sugar per year. This is like a half a pound a day per person! Sherry can help you kick a habit that is just as powerful as cocaine. Let me tell you about her: Sherry Strong is an award-winning Speaker, Chef, Nutritionist, Food Philosopher. She was the Victorian Chair of Nutrition Australia, Melbourne President of Slow Food and the Co-Founder of the World Wellness Summit. She has worked with elite athletes, billionaires, celebrities, CEO’s and everyday folk like herself to transform the way they relate to food and their body. Some Of Sherry's Startling Facts About Sugar and Other Sweeteners Science shows us that sugar lights up the brain's dopamine receptors eight times more than cocaine.   Furthermore, it lights them up not just it brighter but more parts of the brain. Half a packet of Splenda can literally wipe out 50% of your microbiome, the good bacteria you need in your gut for optimal health. Sherry found with her clients is when they looked at what was toxic with within their life mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and replaced those with nourishing versions, success at releasing sugar and a lot of excess weight became much easier. Eating whole foods is far more satisfying and brings you a different relationship and philosophy to eating. Most supermarket produce is picked green so it doesn't have the full complement of nutrition. Most people that come to Sherry are malnourished. The thing that mainly stops people from wanting to start giving up sugar is the fear that the pull of the addiction is so strong that they'll fail at it. Alzheimer's is called diabetes type 3 or diabetes of the brain. Sherry Strong Founded the Sweet Freedom Project Sherry is the founder and the creator of the Sweet Freedom Project – which includes a multi-media transformational platform dedicated to helping people get sugar-free naturally for life.. In this episode, you’ll hear why it’s so hard to be free of sugar, why you should and some straightforward strategies for weaning yourself off sugar.

What we cover: “Addiction is the body’s way of telling you that you’re not listening to your soul.” – Sherry Strong Today's guest is Sherry Strong – and strong she is. She is a woman who, after 35-years of playing the “victim”, which so many of us are guilty of from time to time – and who also struggled with an addiction to sugar to numb the sadness, took a good look in the mirror and said enough is enough. She was, as she puts it: “sick, obese, tired, and wanted to die.” Today, she is a professional chef, a nutritionist, and a food philosopher – and she can fit her entire body into one leg of her former pants. She has some really wise insights in terms of what it means to have a healthy relationship with food. And it’s all about looking to nature and our relationship to nature – look to the natural abundance of whole foods; what nature intended. She can also help you get off of sugar in as a little as 8-weeks with her famous online program. And if 8 weeks feels too daunting for you, she’s devised a new 7-day plan as well. Surely, we can all give a clean, sugar-free lifestyle a try for one week out of 52 this year. Because, despite our best efforts, sugar is everywhere. In a typical grocery store that carries 6,000 products – sugar is in 80% of what’s available. You can find all that amazing info to get you started on a sugar-free lifestyle at MJDionne.com – click on the podcaster tab. I started this series as a gift to my two daughters so that they will have a library of resources to turn to when they are in need of a new way of seeing things. Because so often, that’s all that we need to get us out of a funk. So if you’re listening to this from far off into the future, JouJou and Birdie, whatever it is you’re going through, just know that your mom believes in you and loves you and knows you’ve got the world in the palm of your hands. And that my biggest wish for you, is that you will make all your decisions from a place of self-love – and Sherry and I talk about that today. MJDionne.com
