On The Pass 83. Kanchan Koya: Culinary Medicine Of Spices
If you've been a long-time listener to our podcast, you're aware of the strong connection between flavor and nutrient density. Episodes such as Dan Barber's delve deep into this correlation, underscoring the significance of quality ingredients and our interconnectedness with the environment and one another.
Our upcoming guest, Kanchan Koya, is dedicated to helping us lead healthier, more vibrant lives. With a background as a chef and nutrition coach trained at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, she's also the author of "Spice Spice Baby," hosts the Radical Vitality podcast, and holds a PhD in Biomedicine from Harvard University.
Having grown up in India, where spices are integral to cuisine and Ayurvedic wisdom is deeply rooted, Kanchan was exposed to these teachings from a young age. However, it wasn't until later in life that she truly grasped their significance.
Kanchan is at the forefront of advocating for spices as not only flavor enhancers but also as crucial elements of preventive medicine. Supported by compelling scientific research, she remains optimistic about their long-term health benefits, as well as their potential to broaden our palates and enrich our culinary experiences.
