If you’ve been around wellness spaces, you’ve likely heard of this week’s guest, The Food Babe. Or you may have seen her protein powder flying off the shelves at your health food store—does Truvani ring a bell? Today, we are joined by Vani Hari, a leader in the movement away from processed foods keeping major food companies accountable.

Raised by immigrants and desperate to fit in with her peers, Vani Hari begged her parents to assimilate into American food culture, which ultimately landed her in the hospital and on 9 prescription drugs when she should have been in the prime of her life. She eventually connected the dots between what she was eating and how she was feeling, which led to her work today.

In this episode you’ll learn:

* Shocking ingredients to avoid at the supermarket

* How processed food drives skin and hormone issues

* The truth about how our food is regulated in the US

* Batch cooking advice for busy women

* How to get kids to eat their vegetables

* And more…

Vani Hari is a revolutionary food activist, a New York Times best selling author, and was named one of the “Most Influential People On The Internet” by Time Magazine in 2015. Hari started FoodBabe.com to spread information about what is really in the American food supply. She teaches people how to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to live an organic lifestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the world. The success of her writing and investigative work can be seen in the way food companies react to her uncanny ability to find and expose the truth.

Hari has influenced how major food giants like Kraft, General Mills, Subway, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks create their products, steering them towards more healthful policies. Hari’s activism has brought in worldwide attention as she has been profiled in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and more. Hari has appeared on Good Morning America, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors Show and CNN. She lives in North Carolina and is the founder of Truvani, a start-up offering real food without added chemicals, products without toxins and labels without lies.
