On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes back naturopathic physician Dr. Lexi Loch from Terry Naturally to uncover two of the most powerful herbs in natural medicine: Boswellia and Curcumin (from Turmeric). While many are familiar with turmeric for inflammation, few realize that Boswellia (also known as frankincense) targets a completely different inflammatory pathway—one that traditional NSAIDs and pain relievers don't touch. Together, these herbs form a potent, well-researched duo for addressing pain and inflammation in the gut, joints, lungs, and beyond. You'll learn about the unique pathway that Boswellia modulates, the advantages of this unique curcumin extract over conventional turmeric extracts, and how combining the two offers faster and longer-lasting support. Whether you're struggling with IBS, asthma, joint pain, or simply want to manage everyday inflammation more naturally, this episode provides evidence-based insight and practical guidance you can trust.Products:Terry Naturally Boswellia & Curcumin ProductsAdditional Information:#524: Maximum Absorption of Nutrients for Energy, Pain, Immune, and Respiratory Challenges with Dr. Lexi LochVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Hi Friends,In our latest podcast episode, we're doing something we don't often do. We're actually talking about nutrition. We're dietitians after all and we do enjoy the science of nutrition, but we also know that the child nutrition information out there can be overwhelming and stressful for parents. So, we're all about keeping nutrition information simple.If you've ever found yourself worrying (or wondering) whether or not your child is getting enough of the nutrients they need, this episode is for you. In this episode, we chat about:* A simple formula for putting together meals and snacks that will include the nutrients your child needs.* What to do if your child won't eat any fruits or vegetables* Why parents don't need to give children nutrition information* The importance of empowering kids around foodMentioned in this episode* Our membership: Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding* Blog post: The Berry's Journey: Learning Where Food Comes From* Instagram post by The Curious Nutritionist * Pinney Davenport Nutrition, PLLC* Lutz Alexander & Associates Nutrition TherapyWarmly,Elizabeth & AnnaWhat do you worry about when it comes to your child's nutrition?TranscriptEpisode 103: Nutrition Made SimpleElizabeth: Hi, Anna.Anna: Hi, Elizabeth. It's good to see you.Elizabeth: Good to see you, too. I'm excited to talk about nutrition today. We're dietitians—let's actually talk about nutrition for once!Anna: I know, imagine that! So often we're talking about parenting and how to approach food, but today we're going to dive a little deeper into nutrition. But our goal is to keep it simple.Elizabeth: Exactly. And as a reminder to our listeners, what we've been doing in our latest episodes is highlighting topics from each of the 12 modules in our membership, Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding. We're giving people a sneak peek and hopefully sharing some helpful info along the way.Anna: Yes! There's so much nutrition information out there for parents—so much parenting advice about nutrition. What do you think are the pros and cons of focusing on the nutritional content of food when preparing meals?Elizabeth: I'll agree that there's just an overwhelming amount of information. And we create content for parents, right? But ours is designed to challenge a lot of that confusing, or honestly, often incorrect info. We want to help parents feel less stressed, not more.Anna: Totally. That's what we do with Sunny Side Up and in our practices. So, for the pros: focusing on nutrition can help kids get the nutrients they need. I hesitate to use the word “balanced,” but yes, balanced meals that meet their needs.Elizabeth: Right, but not balanced in a diet culture sense—just well-rounded. The downside is that it can feel overwhelming for parents. Worrying about every meal, every snack, every bite—too much of one thing, not enough of another—it creates a lot of stress.And kids pick up on that stress, which affects the feeding dynamic. I remember when my kids were babies, I stressed over giving them only organic food and making as much of it myself as I could, especially with my first. I got over that with my second.Anna: Exactly. So yes, it's good to be mindful of nutrition, but not to the point where it causes stress or anxiety. Totally agree. So let's talk strategies—how can we simplify nutrition in a way that's empowering instead of fear-based?Elizabeth: What we teach in our membership and what we teach clients is to build meals with three simple components: a protein, a carbohydrate, and a produce. That's it. Keep it simple. An example could be eggs, toast with butter, and fruit. Or BBQ chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. This is directly from our meal and snack formula in the membership.Anna: Yes, and once you offer those components, your job is done. It's not your job to make sure it all goes into your child's body. Over time, kids will get what they need. And of course, there are exceptions—like ARFID or other issues—and that's when individual support from a dietitian can help.Elizabeth: But for most families, zooming out and thinking about nutrition over the course of a week—rather than each meal—is a game changer. Like one day they eat a ton of broccoli, and then they don't touch another veggie for three days. That's totally normal. Nutrients are found in a wide range of foods, not just one.Anna: The nutrients in broccoli are in lots of other foods Elizabeth: Yes! Like Vitamin C —it's in fruit, veggies, and even some grains. That's the complexity of nutrition we're trying to simplify and decrease stress.Anna: We also use a snack formula: two items—usually a protein or dairy, and a carb or produce. Examples: cheese and crackers, yogurt and fruit, cookies and milk.Elizabeth: And we often say, think of snacks as mini meals. That mindset really helps parents simplify things.Anna: If you're offering meals with 3 components and snacks with 2, think of how many opportunities your child has to be exposed to different foods in a week, even if they don't eat them every time.Elizabeth: Right. Exposure is key. If a child doesn't eat any veggies but does eat fruit, they're still getting a lot of those nutrients. Just keep offering and modeling.Anna: If a parents says, “but what if my child eats no fruits or vegetables?”Elizabeth: If that's truly the case, than offer a multivitamin. To the parent whose child eats fruits and not vegetables, I would say there are a lot of the same nutrients in fruits and vegetables. And to keep offering the vegetables. And look for low-pressure exposures. Like the blog post you wrote about berry picking. Take them to the farmer's market, let them help wash greens, unpack groceries, or taste samples. No pressure—just presence.Elizabeth: My younger daughter didn't eat green beans for years. Now she does. It takes time, and that's normal. Some kids need professional support, but many just need time.Anna: Absolutely. We often see kids labeled as “picky” who naturally grow out of it as they hit middle school or high school.Elizabeth: Let's shift gears. When we talk about nutrition, it's easy to fall into labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” “healthy” or “unhealthy.” And now we've got euphemisms like “red light/green light” foods. Why do we avoid that?Anna: Because it's confusing to kids and moralizes food. And every family defines “healthy” differently. Plus, kids are concrete thinkers. Even teens can get stuck in all-or-nothing thinking.Elizabeth: Yes! A kid hears “cake is bad” and wonders why you're serving it. “Am I bad for liking this?” It's not helpful—it creates shame and confusion.Anna: And even “nutrient education” can be unhelpful if it's not developmentally appropriate. I remember being terrified as a kid that if I didn't eat carrots, my eyesight would suffer. That's not empowerment. That's fear.Elizabeth: Exactly. The best way to teach kids is by modeling—offering a variety of foods consistently over time. They learn through what we do, not what we say.Anna: And when kids hit the independence stage—high school, college—they'll explore food in their own way. You can still model, offer, and support, but they'll find their own path.Elizabeth: That brings us to a great post I saw recently—something like: “Empower, don't shame. Teach, don't terrify.” That's it.Anna: Yes! I think it was from The Curious Nutritionist. We'll link to it. It perfectly captures our philosophy.Elizabeth: Empowering kids around food is eating disorder prevention. It's helping them trust their bodies and navigate the world confidently.Anna: That word—empower—is everything. If a child feels secure and confident around food, they'll be able to handle any situation. No fear, no shame.Elizabeth: It's what we want for the parents, too, to feel confident and calm. And if today's episode was just a taste, pun intended, there's more in our membership. The Nutrition Made Simple module goes deeper with the goal of empowering—not overwhelming—you.Anna: So good to chat, Elizabeth.Elizabeth: Same here, Anna. Until next time! This is a public episode.

A recent systematic review in the journal Nutrients analyzed 146 studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of glucosamine and chondroitin in humans. Researchers found that for conditions like osteoarthritis and joint pain, the supplements are generally effective and well-tolerated. Over 90% of the efficacy studies included in the review reported positive outcomes for patients. Similarly, a majority of safety studies (80 out of 107) concluded that the supplements have minimal to no adverse effects, with the most common being mild gastrointestinal complaints. The most frequently studied and effective daily dosages were 1500 mg for glucosamine and 1200 mg for chondroitin, typically taken together in two or three divided doses.Disclaimers:"This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice.""The information presented is from a systematic review of 146 human studies, the majority of which were randomized controlled trials.""Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet, supplement regimen, or treatment plan, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications.""This channel does not provide medical advice."#Glucosamine #Chondroitin #Osteoarthritis #JointPain #SystematicReviewBaden KER, Hoeksema SL, Gibson N, Gadi DN, Craig E, Draime JA, Tubb SM, Chen AMH.

Dr Michael Lange and Roger P Schulman hosted the longest running live medical talk show called "ask the dr" today on July 5th, 2025. Topic today was, can specific nutrients help reverse dementia & slow down age-related muscle loss called sarcopenia? They started off discussing protective eye wear for everyone. They also discussed how important an eye exam is before kids start back to school. Dr Lange goes into details what is behind his philosophy of Fortifeye Vitamins and why he started the Fortifeye Vitamin company. Fortifeye Vitamin company is evidence biased fully transparent vitamin company based on "the right ingredients, right science, right for you" philosophy. Dr Lange discussed what makes the Fortifeye Vitamin company so different form the competition. He did also discuss with Roger Schulman how he reversed his mother's dementia. Dr Lange has his mother on a modified ketogenic diet called The Lange Survival Diet. He also has her taking Fortifeye Fit Pro, Fortifeye Focus and Brain, Fortifeye Super Omega and a few other supplements. He feels that is is a combination of diet, exercise, sleep, hydration, socializing and specific Fotifeye supplements that have helped to reverse her dementia at 97. He really feels the Fortifeye Focus and Brain is responsible for her cognitive improvement. Fortifeye Focus and Brain is the exact same formula as Fortifeye Focus with the addition of a patented trademarked form of citicoline called Cognizin. There is a lot of clinical evidence that Cognizin can help to support a healthy brain and improve working memory. Nutrition for Dementia is becoming a huge topic at conferences. Dr Lange and Roger discussed what they ate for breakfast this am and how important protein is in everyone's diet. They also discussed the importance of taking some time off to relax. Dr Lange stated he had to run two tapes for the "ask the dr" medical talks shows over the last 2 weeks because he was at the Lumenis conference learning the latest with Opti Light and Opti Lift technology to help his patients with dry eyes. The Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida is the only dry eye center in the Villages that has Opti Light IPL and Opti Lift both made by Lumenis. This is one of the reasons the Lange Eye Institute is considered one of the top Dry Eye centers in the Villages and Florida. Dr Michael Lange is an expert using the Opti Light and Optilift to help his dry eye patients. Dr Lange also discussed how Fortifeye Vitamins is one the sponsors of the ISSN sports nutrition conference this year in Delray Fl. The sports nutrition conference focused on specific ingredients like: Creapure Creatine, Astareal Astaxanthin, MyHMB, Collagen Tripeptides and peptides and Whey Protein, Omega 3 and much more. Fortifeye FIt Pro has all of the ingredients the conference focused on. Roger and Dr Lange commented on how much better their workouts are when taking Fortifeye Fit Pro. During the show Dr Lange stated they will run a 50% discount on Cartier, Guci, St Laurant and Mont Blanc frames for two weeks. Dr Lange also stated recently "ask the dr" was ranked at#3 place in medical talk shows only to be beat by Dr Phill and The Doctors. The Dr show, "ASK THE DOCTOR" also ranked # 5 and # 3 respectively in top medical pod casts and top eye care podcasts. "Ask the Dr" syndicated doctor hosted live talk show is the longest running medical talk show in the country for over 32 years. Both discussed the power of the carotenoids in Fortifeye Focus and how important it is at helping to protect the eyes and skin form the uv and blue light. Roger asked Dr Lange "what is the number 1 thing you can do to promote wellness"? Dr Lange replied in some detail how important weight management is. He recommended people look over the Fortifeye Healthy Weight loss bundle on the Fortifeye.com site. He also mentioned his meal replacement supplement is almost complete called Fortifeye Fit Meal. Dr Lange announced they will be carrying a new low vision device called Eyedaptics at the Lange Eye Institute in the villages. This is the most advanced low vision technology on the market and anyone vision impaired or even blind may benefit from this technology.

What comes around goes around and around and around again. Guess what's back… urine therapy. It's a trend that has come and gone for over 40 years in the alternative health movement. The sad part is, drinking your own pee never worked. One problem is that social media doctors and influencers still unfortunately don't know why so many people are really sick and suffering. It's just recently, in the last couple of years, that these health professionals and influencers have been getting some clues that all of these chronic illness symptoms are really neurological symptoms, not a lack of collagen or a lack of protein or because of too much omega 6's. A wake up call came many years ago from the Medical Medium information, illuminating the true causes of chronic illness, such as Epstein Barr virus, other pathogens and toxic metals. News Flash! Urine Therapy does not fix it. This is an episode you don't want to miss. It's classic, timeless, extremely informative and another great way to learn how to protect yourself. It's even advertiser-free and commercial-free listening. Many blessings. In this episode… Learn how urine therapy keeps resurfacing and regaining attention over the decades, same as it is doing now, especially when chronic illness is widespread and there is lack of clear answers in mainstream media. Discover how urine therapy gained recognition and popularity not because of any proven results, but because of there being no viable solutions in alternative and conventional health for chronic illness. Uncover why people are injecting urine into their body, and why this can be a very dangerous practice. Learn how a lack of understanding of root causes to chronic illness may lead to experimental treatments by practitioners. Discover the harmful immune responses that your body can have to foreign invaders. Nutrients that are normally beneficial can become hazardous when misused. Find out why the body dispels urine and how reintroducing it to the body can lead to harmful liver responses and confusion of bodily functions. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com
In this groundbreaking episode, Jonathan, Tim, and guest researcher Professor Quirijn de Mast explore a landmark clinical trial conducted in partnership with Tanzanian scientists and community members at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). Published in Nature Medicine, the study investigates what happens when people switch between Western-style eating and a traditional diet from the Kilimanjaro region of Northern Tanzania — rich in fermented foods, legumes, ancient grains, and green vegetables. The results? Rapid, measurable changes to immune function, inflammation, and gut health — with powerful implications for global disease risk.We dive into the science behind millet porridge, fermented banana beer, and the fibre-rich meals that Tanzanian communities have eaten for generations. Quirijn shares insights from his 20-year collaboration with local researchers. This episode explores scientific research on traditional East African diets and inflammation, led by Quirijn in close collaboration with Tanzanian scientists and participants.

Cold Open Transcript: Gabe Howard: People psych themselves out and say, oh, well, I put butter on my broccoli. I've ruined it. Everybody seems to think that if they're not a raw vegan, then there's no point in eating healthy. And I think that's a mistake. Drew Ramsey, MD: That's a huge mistake. It's also not what the data says, if you look at research. What I've tried to bring to the mental health world is the notion that we need to think about food when we're thinking about things like depression, anxiety, bipolar illness, trauma recovery, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, all of these have big nutritional implications. Our guest, Drew Ramsey, MD, is a board certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author. His work focuses on evidence-based integrative psychiatry, Nutritional Psychiatry and male mental health. He founded the Brain Food Clinic, a digital mental health practice, and Spruce Mental Health in Jackson, Wyoming. Using the latest research along with decades of clinical experience, he hopes to help people improve their mental health and build resilient mental fitness. He and his team have created three e-courses: Healing the Modern Brain, Eat To Beat Depression, and Nutritional Psychiatry for Clinicians; along with free downloads, the free nutritional psychiatry cooking class the Mental Fitness Kitchen, a weekly mental health update newsletter Friday Feels, and a mental health and mental fitness focused podcast. His latest book, “Healing the Modern Brain: Nine Tenets To Build Mental Fitness and Revitalize Your Mind,” will be published by Harper Collins in March 2025. His previous books helped establish Nutritional Psychiatry and explore the connection between food and mental health: the international best-seller “Eat To Beat Depression and Anxiety” (HarperWave 2021) now translated into 9 languages; the award-winning cookbook “Eat Complete: The 21 Nutrients that Fuel Brain Power, Boost Weight Loss and Transform Your Health” (HarperWave 2016); the bestseller “50 Shades of Kale” (HarperWave 2013) and “The Happiness Diet: A Nutritional Prescription for a Sharp Brain, Balanced Mood and Lean, Energized Body” (Rodale 2011).

You might think burnout, anxiety, or insomnia stem from stress, emotion, or mindset—but what if the real cause lives in your cells? What if what you're feeling isn't emotional at all… but biochemical?In this illuminating episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by Dr. Marian Alonzo, Medical Director at The Farm, a world-renowned wellness resort in the Philippines. Together, they explore mineral therapy, an ancient-meets-modern approach that addresses physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances at their root.Dr. Alonzo, trained in behavioral biochemistry, shares how unrecognized deficiencies in minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron might be fueling your panic attacks, restlessness, or brain fog—and how healing might be as simple as listening to your body and feeding it the right fuel.They discuss why most wellness efforts fail without foundational nourishment, how mineral testing is often overlooked in Western medicine, and why even the best supplements sometimes don't work.Have you ever felt “off” but couldn't explain why? Or tried every mindset tool but still felt exhausted? Or wondered why your body doesn't respond to vitamins?Watch now to discover how peace might not be a state of mind—but a state of minerals.If you liked our episode, you can subscribe to our podcast on any of the major podcasting platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.

Send us a textHey my beautiful friends –This week's conversation was sparked by a funny little tech discovery and a box I mailed — both of which got me thinking about food in a new way. You know how people are always quick to tell you what not to eat? Well, this week we flip the script. I'm sharing thoughts from my own journey and a coach that made me laugh and think — and you'll hear why his words still stick with me to this day. We're keeping things simple, kind, and grounded in something real. I'm not handing out rules, I'm sharing a mindset and maybe even a little inspiration for your next grocery run or packed lunch. And as always, we'll close with a little heart lift — this one from Michael Pollan, who said, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”Come hang out with me, and let's talk about what loves us back.

Research on how pine bark and gotu kola extracts stabilize plaque Fred Pescatore, MD, MPH New York City physician and internist Dr. Fred Pescatore specializes in nutritional medicine. He is a globally renowned healthy living expert and best-selling author of The Hamptons Diet and The A-List Diet. He has worked closely with the botanical pine bark extract Pycnogenol® for over a decade, after recommending the supplement in his book, The Allergy and Asthma Cure.
Tuesday, June 17- Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health.First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on the MIND diet and what it can do for anyone concerned about getting dementia, why the Mediterranean Diet tends to be a foundation for most heart-healthy diets, and why eating beans is beneficial for your health (and a deep dive into why beans are considered the “musical fruit”). Some of the brain-healthy food groups for the MIND Diet are green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, cold water fatty fish, and olive oil.Next up, why exercise is as important as proper diet and nutrition, a new study shows exercise can be more beneficial than drug intervention for recurrent colorectal cancer, and post menopausal women are at an increased risk for heart disease and why eating mango can help lower the risk of dying from heart disease.Then, diving into why nightshades, including tomatoes, have great antioxidants properties, but not everyone can tolerate nightshade fruits and vegetables.The conversation shifts to the sleep habits of children and how it correlates to a happy family. Yes, a well-slept family is happier — and a happy family gets better sleep with research supporting a strong bidirectional relationship between family happiness and quality sleep.Lastly, Dr. Ken and Doug refer to a conversation from last week's Good Day Health program with Dr. Jack, where Jack said improper supplement brands do nothing but harm your liver and other organs — stating supplements from natural ingredients are far superior than synthetic supplements. Dr. Ken's answer is more about everything in moderation, and why too much of the synthetic supplements can be harmful, but are not inherently harmful.

We are so happy to have Julie Sawaya back with us on The VBAC Link Podcast today! Julie is the co-founder of Needed, a mama, and a lifelong nutrition nerd. As the most nutritionally aware of their friends, Julie and her co-founder Ryan were shocked to realize through nutrient testing that they were severely deficient in key nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy. They dug into the research and realized they were not alone. 97% of women take a prenatal, and yet 95% have nutrient deficiencies. Most prenatal vitamins just weren't cutting it. So Julie and Ryan started Needed to create a new, higher standard for perinatal health. Together they've redesigned the products, education, and experiences women need. From their prenatals to their cognitive support to their collagen protein, our team personally uses and loves Needed products. We love Julie's heart for educating women in an empowering way— exactly what we stand for here at TVL!Needed Research InfoNeeded Website: Code VBAC20 for 20% OffCoterie Diapers - Use code VBAC20 for 20% OffHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vbac-link/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas and Sarah Glicken delved into the complexities of bone health, emphasizing its crucial role in longevity. Dr. Doug noted that while osteoporosis is often seen as a condition affecting older adults, its roots can be traced back to earlier life stages, making early intervention vital. They shared the limitations of DEXA scans, particularly their inability to assess bone quality, and why they advocate for the use of REMS technology, which offers a more comprehensive evaluation by assessing bone density and microarchitecture. We also touched upon the potential dangers of conventional bone medications, such as bisphosphonates, which can lead to side effects like jaw necrosis and atypical fractures. They emphasized the importance of exploring alternative therapies that focus on lifestyle modifications that include osteogenic loading and supplementation such as vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 (not calcium!) This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking to understand and improve their bone health through informed choices and proactive measures.Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist on a mission to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable and reversible. As the VP of Women's Health, Hormone and Lifestyle Optimization at LifeMD and the creator of The OsteoCollective, he empowers individuals to optimize bone health, hormones, and HealthSpan through classic and cutting-edge strategies.Sarah Glicken is the co-founder of Precision Bone Imaging, a company dedicated to shifting the narrative around aging—starting with skeletal health.

Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, #205 - Emotional Metabolism, I'm diving deep into what I'm calling "emotional metabolism" - a game-changing way to think about how we process our feelings. Using a fun food analogy, I explain why trying to "get rid" of anxiety or negative emotions actually makes them stronger. Instead, I share how we can learn to feel our emotions the same way we eat nutritious food - with acceptance and purpose. I break down why our brains interpret emotional experiences as threats and how resistance creates more suffering. Through real examples from missionaries and returned missionaries, I demonstrate how simply observing our emotions without judgment can transform our experience. The key takeaway? We're not meant to eliminate difficult feelings, but to metabolize them - just like our bodies process nutrients. If you're struggling with anxiety, negative thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed on your mission, this episode is for you. I'll help you understand that having challenging emotions is completely normal and part of our human design. By the end, you'll have a new perspective on emotional processing that can help you move through difficult experiences with more grace and understanding. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

What does it take to create and maintain one of the largest repositories of botanical information in the world? For starters, it can mean helicopter-ing into remote nooks of the Amazon, hiking through rough terrain, looking for strange fruits and flowers, and climbing trees to pluck specimens from the branches. Then there's all the science required to identify, classify, and codify those species. Botanists Lúcia Lohmann and Charlotte Taylor join Host Flora Lichtman to discuss their work discovering new plant species and maintaining the storied Missouri Botanical Garden.And, what does it mean to be a superfood? What is the science of micronutrient-dense foods like millet, which get less hype than foods like açaí, goji berries, and quinoa? Flora talks with biological engineer Kiruba Krishnaswamy, who puts food under a microscope—literally—and studies the nutrients that help make our bodies function, in hopes of harnessing them to fight hunger worldwide.Guests: Dr. Lúcia Lohmann, professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and president and director of the Missouri Botanical GardenDr. Charlotte Taylor, botanist and senior curator at the Missouri Botanical Garden Dr. Kiruba Krishnaswamy, assistant professor in the Colleges of Engineering and Agriculture at the University of MissouriTranscript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
