Seasonal Foods Support Your Heart - Cardiovascular Surgeon Dr. John Chuback joins Tonia

I had a great discussion with Dr. John Chuback from Chuback Vein Center.

As the vibrant colors of fall emerge, it's not just the landscape that changes - our bodies undergo transformations as well.  Dr. Chuback recommends eating seasonal foods like pumpkins, apples, and sweet potatoes which are not only delicious but packed with nutrients that support your circulatory system.
"Fall introduces a bounty of heart-healthy seasonal produce that can help maintain strong circulation," he states. "These foods are packed with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins that support healthy blood flow, helping to keep your circulatory system in top condition.

Had another great interview with Dr. Neal Barnard. This time we got into more details about Power Foods. You'll learn about some surprising science behind some of the foods we think are good for us but can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat and often overstay their welcome.

There are dozens of great recipes in the book to help you along the way.

I had a great conversation with Zen Honeycutt from Moms Across America about their on-going campaign to fix our food supply. Moms Across America has long been working to ban glyphosate from being sprayed on our food and animal feed crops, especially as a drying agent on grain crops. Studies have shown a very close correlation between the increase of Celiac disease and the increase of glyphosate on crops. Unfortunately, we have discovered that the foods people are eating to avoid gluten often have glyphosate in them—the very same chemical that likely caused their condition in the first place. Moms Across America, a national educational nonprofit dedicated to empowering mothers and others to create healthy families and communities, commissioned testing for glyphosate/AMPA, 236 pesticides, gluten, and mineral content in 46 samples of organic and non-organic gluten-free food products including bread, pasta, crackers, snacks, flour, dessert mixes, and chips. You may be surprised at their findings. Learn more at www.momsacrossamerica.org 

Zen Honeycutt is the Founding Executive Director of the non-profit, Moms Across America, a National Coalition of Unstoppable Moms with the motto "Empowered Moms, Healthy Kids." Moms Across America’s leaders created over 1,000 community events in all 50 states to raise awareness about GMOs, toxins in the food supply, and other environmental issues that pose risk to the health of our families. The organization’s mission is to educate and empower mothers and others with actions and solutions to create healthy communities.
