23: The Power of Plant-Based Nutrition

Hippocrates said it best, let food be thy medicine. Our guest today is a pioneer in her field and as foodie-fate would have it, she and Lisa grew up in the same hometown! As a Certified Health Coach, the co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Nekter Juice Bar, and author of the children’s book Sneaky Spinach, our guest, Alexis Schulze, knows the importance of eating (or in this case, sipping) your way to optimal health. We wrangle the million-dollar juice versus smoothie debate. Alexis shares her perspectives on whether to count carbs or not, the ketogenic diet, immune-boosting tips and she breaks down what a superfood is. She offers her four must-have ingredients and leaves us with the dos and don’ts of taking supplements. We wrap with Alexis’ number one tip for eating healthy.
