Lisa is joined by Liz Weiss who shares some great ways to get more fiber in. your diet. From www.lizshealthytable.comI'm a registered dietitian nutritionist, and I've been passionate about healthy food, family nutrition, and vibrant living for over 30 years. Helping you, your family, and the people around you discover the joy of wholesome and delicious food is not just my job—it's my mission.I have two grown boys—Josh and Simon—and for years, I was up to my elbows tackling the daily grind of packing lunches, making endless visits to the grocery store, planning meals, and managing fussy eating. But I'm reporting here that the journey was fun and fulfilling, and my boys grew up to be adventurous eaters. Five family cookbooks later plus free recipes, online resources, and hundreds of podcast episodes, my boys have flown the coop and I've shifted my culinary and nutrition focus to a topic that's near and dear to my heart and something we all need: longevity!Living an anti-aging lifestyle is all about moving our bodies more and choosing foods that fight conditions like heart disease and cancer, bolster brain health, and sharpen vision. To that end, I always try to practice what I preach. I walk (almost) every day, do yoga, and ride the stationary bike. I have a real food philosophy, which is all about adding food groups to the diet, not taking them away. No deprivation. I crave simplicity, colorful fruits and vegetables, and easy-to-find everyday ingredients that make mealtime a breeze.A bit about my background: After four years as an undergrad at the University of Rhode Island and a dietetic internship at the Oregon Health Sciences University, in 2004 I partnered with a friend to create Meal Makeover Moms, which received an incredible response from families and fellow health professionals and even won the 2015 Media Excellence Award from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics! We retired that site in 2017, and that's when Liz's Healthy Table was launched.Liz's Healthy Table hosts a blog with exciting plant-forward recipes (yes, some include a small amount of animal protein!), including Cauliflower Mac & Cheese, Corny Salmon Cakes, Kale & Pine Nut Pesto, and Beef & Bean Tacos. And I have a new podcast called, EAT DRINK, LIVE LONGER, which features exciting longevity-themed food and nutrition episodes on the benefits of eating more pulses, pre-diabetes, and the anti-inflammatory diet.

Let's have a look at the structure of equity participation in a company and its changes in time. When seeking external investment at the early stage of business growth, founding teams often have to decide what share of their business should be sold to investors. To help you answer this question, I can offer my experience from both sides of such contracts. I have been involved both in acquiring funds and investing. For companies such as Morizon, AirHelp or Saunowy Staw, the total amount I acquired in all investment rounds was several tens of millions of Polish Złoty. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saunatalks/message

For today's 100th episode of Liz's Healthy Table, I chose a topic that's near and dear to my heart: Healthy Aging: From Your Head to Your Toes. The Fountain of Youth does not exist, but as you'll learn on this week's show, by placing certain foods at the center of our tables and living an active and vibrant life, we can help to set ourselves up for aging gracefully with a spring in our step and a twinkle in our eye. Today's episode is sponsored by Fresh Avocados – Love One Today®, a leading source of the healthiest reasons and tastiest ways to enjoy fresh avocados. A science-based resource, it provides recipes and articles to help make it easy for consumers and health professionals to learn more about the nutritional benefits of fresh avocados and ways to include them in everyday menus. Show Highlights:  A discussion on nutrient density (a food that provides substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and other nutrients with relatively few calories.) Avocados are nutrient dense. One serving (1/3 of a medium avocado) has 80 calories and contributes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. Avocados contain 6 grams naturally good unsaturated fats per serving, and that fat acts as a nutrient booster in the body helping to increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, K, and E. An explanation of cognitive health and how diet and physical activity can play a role. Why the antioxidant, lutein, may play a role in cognition and eye health, plus food sources (kale, spinach, eggs, avocados). A 2019 study of 40 healthy, older adults that looked at how consuming one avocado a day for 6 months impacted cognition. How following certain lifestyle habits, including the MIND Diet, can influence health. Two recipes shared: Avocado and Tuna Niçoise Salad (hyperlink to be added when available) and Avocado Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies. The best way to pick, ripen, and store fresh avocados. How I've been adding more physical activity into my daily life… and why!

On today’s Liz's Healthy Table podcast, we’re talking about foods, nutrition, and dietary supplements that support a healthy immune system. What does science say about vitamins D, C, A, and E? What about zinc? Why is a diet rich in fruits and vegetables more important now than ever as we deal with a global pandemic? And why are the elderly at greater risk for nutritional deficiencies? Join me as we dive into these topics and more, including why you’ll never hear me claim that anything can "boost" your immune system. (I prefer the term, "support.") Anthony Thomas, Ph.D., is a Nutrition Researcher and Director of Scientific Affairs at Jarrow Formulas in Los Angeles. Anthony evaluates research for ingredient use in dietary supplement formulations, including dosing and usage recommendations to reflect scientifically supported benefits. He has authored and co-authored multiple published peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and served as peer reviewer with relevant expertise in the field of nutrition and metabolism for multiple scientific journals.  Anthony is an avid user of dietary supplements, but he believes strongly that diet and physical activity come first. You may remember Anthony from last year’s two-part series on probiotics. If you scroll down, you'll find those links.  Show Highlights: Updates on Anthony’s family, which includes a new baby girl To put diet and immunity in perspective, Anthony doesn’t use the phrase “boost immunity,” but thinks of diet and supplements as things that reinforce and prime immunity How macronutrients and micronutrients are the building blocks for cellular function With Anthony’s “food first” approach, nutrition supplements are one tool to support immunity and overall health Other lifestyle factors that affect immunity include stress management, sleep, and physical activity The role of a healthy immune system and how it relates to COVID-19 Why the elderly and people who suffer from obesity tend to have higher rates of nutrient deficiency, and may be more susceptible to COVID-19 How to get more calcium, vitamin D, and zinc into your diet Why eating for immunity is not an “all-or-nothing” proposition (a weekend cheat meal won’t blow it for you!) Protein’s role in a healthy immune system How fruits and vegetables (and vitamins A and C) are critical for fighting infections Anthony’s thoughts on the role of probiotics in immune function The scoop on turmeric, garlic, and ginger as they relate to immunity Why elderberry and mushroom supplements could be important during times of higher stress and vulnerability Why Anthony says everyone could benefit from taking vitamin D supplements The benefits of zinc supplementation The supplements that Anthony takes every day or every other day: vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, and probiotics Takeaways we’ve learned from the global pandemic: “We weren’t well-prepared, but we can learn and be better prepared for the next one with our diet and strategic supplementation.” A final question: Does a healthy immune system reduce the risk of catching COVID-19 or improve our outcome?

On this week's Liz's Healthy Table podcast, I'm celebrating the best and brightest that summer produce has to offer, and I hope you'll join me by tuning in and sharing your summer produce stories in the comments section at the end of this post. I want to know what’s growing in your garden, what’s for sale at your local farmers’ market, and which summer fruit or vegetable you can’t stop eating. For me ... it's cabbage! I’ve been grilling it all summer and my family has happily joined the obsession. Today’s guest is Wendy Reinhardt Kapsak, MS, RDN, a mother of three and President and CEO of the Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH). PBH is dedicated to helping consumers live healthier, happier lives by eating more fruits and vegetables. While today’s show highlights fresh summer produce, I want to remind you that frozen, canned, dried, and even 100% fruit juice all count toward your daily fruit and vegetable consumption. Eating your greens (and yellows, and reds, and oranges ...) may sound easy, but about 90% of U.S. consumers still struggle to get enough fruits and vegetables into their diets. That’s why I wanted to devote an episode to the importance of fruits and vegetables. On the show, Wendy and I discuss PBH’s new campaign, Have A Plant, aimed and encouraging all of us to eat and enjoy more produce.

“So much of life is centric to food, and being a picky eater can become problematic.”Lori Taylor (7:00 - 7:14) Liz Weiss MS, RDN, is the Founder of Liz's Healthy Table, where she shares healthy recipes and mealtime wisdom through blog posts, cooking videos, and podcasts. Liz has been passionate about healthy food and family nutrition for over 20 years. Her previous company, Meal Makeover Moms, received an incredible response from families and fellow health professionals over the years, and even won the 2015 Media Excellence Award from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics! It is possible to overcome picky eating tendencies. Almost all of us have picky eaters in our lives. It could be your kids, your spouse, or it could even be you that's more particular about your food choices. Picky eating is entirely normal. It could be due to evolutionary reasons that we're hardwired to be cautious about what we put into our bodies. While the tendency to be selective about food might have served us well in the caveman era, it does create some nutritional challenges in today's world. A recent survey of over 600 moms revealed that picky eating was their biggest challenge when it came to feeding fresh fruits and vegetables to their kids. That's problematic because a diet rich in a wide variety of fresh produce is an essential element for a healthy life. And it's not just about nutrition. Food plays a central role in our social and professional lives, and being too picky could cause problems in those areas as well. “After surveying a community of over 600 moms, what we found was that picky eating was the biggest obstacle to getting kids to eat a healthy diet.” - Liz Weiss (8:57 - 9:13) The good news is that there are strategies to overcome the tendency for picky eating. This is especially true for kids, but it could apply to adults as well. Below, we'll share some tips for parents who might be wondering what they can do to get their kids to eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Tips to help your kids overcome picky eating. Don't label your kids as picky eaters - The first thing you can do is you can stop calling your kids “picky eaters.” Instead, focus on the fresh produce items they do enjoy, even if it's only a few. Maybe they only like berries, carrots, and watermelons. While the goal is to add new fruits and veggies to that list, whatever they currently eat is a great place to start. Remember, even something like guacamole, which most kids enjoy, is a fresh produce item you can start with. “Build your own” nights - The more you involve your kids in the process of shopping and making meals, the more likely they'll be to try new things. One creative way to get your kids excited about the meal preparation process is to turn it into an art project. Schedule nights where they “build” their own meals. Even if they prepare fun items like pizzas and tacos, you can make sure that some of the ingredients are healthy veggies. Market nutrition to your kids - You can help your kids try new things by making it more fun for them. Assign a silly name to bell peppers, like “power peppers,” or take a sharpie and put a smiley face on a banana peel. One thing that works well with kids is to playfully pretend that you don't want to share with fruits or veggies with them. If you act like you don't want them to have any of your cucumber and hummus, it is sure to pique their curiosity. “The more you can eat dinner together as a family, the more opportunities you have to be a role model. If you eat a lot of veggies, your kids are more likely to make similar choices.” - Liz Weiss (21:40 - 21:49) Remember that everyone is unique, and they respond to different things. While the tips mentioned above are an excellent place to start, it might require some experimenting on your part. The goal is to keep trying so that your children can eventually get to a point where they are comfortable with trying new things. When you have dinner as a family, you can lead by example. If they see you eating a lot of fruits and vegetables regularly, they're more likely to emulate your behavior and start making healthier choices on their own.

What’s your biggest dinner dilemma? No plan? Bored with the same thing night after night? At a loss for fresh new ideas? Picky kids? Picky husbands?! To the rescue this week to solve your biggest dinnertime dilemmas is mom, dietitian, and friend, Jessica Levinson, MS, RDN. Jessica is the author of the 52 Week Meal Planner: The Complete Guide to Planning Menus, Groceries, Recipes, and More. Jessica is passionate about creating nutritious and delicious meals that your family will love, and her meal planning tips and tricks are about to make your life easier, healthier, and tastier! Show Highlights: Jessica’s suburban life in New Rochelle, NY, after many years living in NYC. How and why she became a dietitian. How her new book helps people get organized with templates for 52 weeks of meal plans, shopping lists, price comparisons, and a place to add your favorite, go-to recipes. Jessica’s Crispy Baked Tofu made with cubed, marinated tofu, baked at a high temp to make it crispy outside and tender inside. Liz’s Healthy Table survey results: 33% of moms are at a loss for dinner ideas, 25% say they didn’t have time for meal prep/planning, and 16% say picky eaters are their biggest dinner dilemma challenge. How to get started with meal planning: Take stock of the pantry items you already have on hand. Base your menu on what you already have in your kitchen. IE “shop your kitchen.” Shop for what’s in season or on sale. Where to get good dinner inspiration: Pinterest, cookbooks, Facebook groups. Jessica’s favorite Buddha bowl: A bowl filled with a grain, veggies, and assorted protein foods. Picky husbands: Start slow with new veggies; use flavor; and keep experimenting. Jessica’s #1 tip for dealing with picky eaters: “Keep plugging away and hope that there is at least one thing they will eat. Look at nutrition for the whole week, and don’t stress out over one day.” How to spot an EASY recipe that won’t take hours to make … or clean up: Jessica says to read the recipe first in its entirety, and look for healthy convenience foods (like at Trader Joe’s). Shredded Brussels sprouts; cubed tweet potatoes; spiralized veggies. With leftovers, use them for lunches, repurpose them for new meals, or freeze them for later meals. How to cook and use ingredients over 2 to 3 meals without making the same thing. Take advantage of the time you have to plan ahead, especially to prep veggies or salads. How to add variety in plant-based meals. If you haven’t listened to my episode on Going Meatless More Often, be sure to tune in. Delicious winter squash-based recipes (look for an entire squash episode–coming soon!) How to roast spaghetti squash. Liz’s NEW recipe for Kale Salad with Roasted Delicata Squash. How to use fresh herbs before they go bad: plan meals, freeze them, dry them, make sauces, or add them to salads. Liz’s favorite slow cooker go-tos: Pulled pork made with lean pork loin, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and all natural BBQ sauce. The miracle of the Instant Pot for meal prep: Liz’s Bean and Barley soup comes together in just 7 minutes vs 6 hours in the slow cooker! A Healthy Kitchen Hack for keeping fresh herbs fresher for longer from Teaspoon of Spice. Seafood in a pouch. Here’s an idea for cod or haddock with mushrooms and corn kernels and another idea for salmon, carrots, and snow peas in parchment.

Some of Lisa’s top tips for eating real food on a budget: Plan ahead with a menu Don’t toss leftovers, but be creative with them Understand expiration dates Utilize inexpensive foods and staples Identify your “nice to haves” vs. your “need to haves” A few favorites from the cookbook: Portobello Tartine, Chicken Burrito Bowls, and a terrific tomato/mozzarella salad.

Using affordable eggs as a staple for your family. Don't toss those yolks! The whole egg is nutritious.

Start small so you can stick with it like start and don’t give up.

When families sit down together and eat a home-cooked meal, children are being shown healthy eating habits by example, and everyone has a chance to reconnect after a busy day. There are several hurdles to jump over to make it to the family table, especially if the practice is brand new for your brood. That is why I am so excited to have Liz Weiss of Liz’s Healthy Table podcast with me today to talk about how to overcome some of these obstacles.

Sugar. It's everywhere in our food supply, and we eat a lot of it. Kids crave it, and parents struggle to keep it in check. Did you know that the average U.S. child consumes almost 80 grams (20 teaspoons) of added sugar per day? That's nearly half a cup! On this week's podcast, dietitian and mom, Laura Chalela Hoover, MPH, RD joins me to talk about her new book, Mom's Sugar Solution, share tips and tricks for taming your family's sweet tooth, and serve up recipes for kids' favorite foods made with less sugar. Wait till you hear about her Raspberry Chia Mini Muffins made with honey and her Ruby Red Soda made with no added sugar. You won’t believe how sweet and delicious food can be without the added sugar! I personally have a sweet tooth, so I was super excited to have Laura on the show to share her best tips and tricks to slashing sugar. Unfortunately for all of us humans, fighting sugar cravings is a bit like fighting our biology. Humans are hard-wired to crave sugar from birth, so Laura says the best way to tackle it is to wean off slowly.  But Laura's book isn't entirely sugar free. She provides lower-sugar alternatives to kid favorites ... including dessert. Yes, we can all have our cake and eat a portion of it too! Stick around for a chance to win a free copy of Mom’s Sugar Solution as well as freebies and discounts from Laura to the Liz’s Healthy Table community. Are you hungry for new ways to tackle your sweet tooth? I am! You can read the full show notes and access all the links and resources at www.lizshealthytable.com

Today, on the Liz's Healthy Table podcast, we’re talking about pulses–dry beans and peas, lentils and chickpeas, soybeans and peanuts. I know. I know. This is the show you’ve all been waiting for. Right? Right! Pulses are versatile and yes, they can also be pretty exotic. They’re nutritious and KIDS LOVE THEM. At least that's been my experience and the experience of my guest, cookbook author and mom, Jenny Chandler. Jenny Chandler is a mom, a cooking instructor, author of four cookbooks including The Better Bean Cook Book and Great Food for Kids, and my go-to expert on pulses. In 2016, she served as the International Year of Pulses Special Ambassador for Europe, which may sound  fancy, but Jenny is one of the most down-to-earth chefs I’ve ever met. She’s from the UK, and we became fast friends last year when we met at a nutrition conference in Vienna. She was there to talk about, you guessed it, pulses. On the show, we offer a primer on cooking with pulses, explain why they're sustainable and nutritious, and we share two recipes from Great Food for Kids for Super-Speedy Bean and Tuna Salad and Indian Lentil and Tomato Dal. Jenny also talks about getting your kids into the kitchen to cook with you and ultimately, on their own. You can read the full show notes and access all the resources at www.lizshealthytable.com.
