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.

What's all this hype about CBD and its incredible properties. Is it fact or marketing fiction? Janice Bissex is a trailblazer in the burgeoning field of holistic cannabis consulting. She shares the facts, the extensive research and many real-life examples of the myriad ailments and symptoms that can be eased or reversed with CBD. Join Janice and the Get Your FILL Podcast - you'll be amazed! About Janice: Janice is a Holistic Cannabis Practitioner, culinary nutritionist, cookbook author, speaker, and End-of-Life-Doula. Her mission is to help clients find relief from anxiety, pain, insomnia, chemo-induced side effects, IBD/IBS, autoimmune diseases, and many other ailments through the use of medical cannabis and CBD. She is Co-Program Director, Cannabinoid Medical Sciences at John Patrick University School of Integrative and Functional Medicine and the author of Simple Guide to CBD: Fact, FIction, and a Path Forward. Her cannabis journey began in 2016 when her dad turned to medical cannabis after traditional treatment for his chronic pain and discomfort caused severe side effects. The transition from debilitating pain en route to the dispensary to the words "Wow, I'm not in pain!" minutes after his first dose was astounding. It was at that moment that Janice decided to change her career focus and pursue training and education on the science behind the health benefits of cannabis. One year later, she became certified as a Holistic Cannabis Practitioner through the Holistic Cannabis Academy. She also completed the Cannabis Fundamentals Certificate Program at GreenFlower. Janice's passion is to reduce the stigma surrounding cannabis by educating others on the safe use of cannabis (marijuana) and CBD for treating a wide variety of debilitating conditions. She partnered with a Colorado manufacturer of organically-grown medicinal grade hemp to provide phytocannabinoid-rich hemp CBD products for her clients under her Jannabis Wellness label. Before Cannabis and CBD...

“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.
