60. Gretchen: The Secret to Feeling and Looking Great is in Your Kitchen

Are you wasting money on fake food? Is eating healthy real food actually expensive or is that what you’re made to believe?

We are sold LIES by big food brands, and we continue to buy these lies every time we consume beautifully packaged food with nothing to offer but poison.

In this week's episode of HYDRATE, I chat with my good friend Gretchen about the transformative role of REAL FOOD in achieving OPTIMAL HEALTH. Real food is whole, non-processed, natural food dense with nutrients our body needs. It had kept our ancestors strong and healthy for hundreds of years until food companies introduced us to hybridized junk made in laboratories and popularized by TV ads.

Why should you avoid that box of chemicals disguised as ‘healthy' food?

Gretchen and I tell you why. We also cover her journey from veganism to a nutrient-dense diet; grain fermentation; cheap real food choices + recipes; and the timeless benefits of natural food preparation.

Gretchen Hackman Adler is the founder of the health and lifestyle brand, ‘Gretchy.’ Believing that health transformation begins in the kitchen, she organized an online course called ‘Nourishing Your Kitchen Master Class’ to lead thousands of people toward their best and healthiest selves.
