Maïntanós — (MY-TYE-NOS) Parsley

In this episode: 

Globally recognized clinal nutritionist and Media Expert, Stella Metsovas, appears in this episode of Kefi L!fe to shed light on great digestive health.  The conversation reveals how the Gut Health Biome seed was planted in Stella’s life and how her athletic career was a propitious omen leading to the study of food science. 

Stella says that food is the ticket to gut health, particularly the Mediterranean diet rich in plant fiber. 

Are you aware that humans should eat 40 grams of fiber a day, but instead we only consume about 15 grams?  Think about polyphenols for your fiber intake, and can you trust all health information you read?  What about green juices, what’s the skinny on these drinks?

You will love hearing about Stella’s cookbook Wild Mediterranean, a journey into gut health with the Mediterranean diet, including 250 health citations. 

Today it’s all about …Love, Live Wild!

38. Seasonal Wellness Tips to Guard Your Wellbeing during the Weather Transition of DOYO

Seasonal Wellness is rooted by living in the season, and not resisting it.  This seasonal transition is referred to as DOYO in ancient Chinese Medicine, and here to tell us more is Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Christiana Cagnoni. Christiana will shed light on the 5 elements of DOYO focus on the spleen, stomach, centering self, family, and home.  You’ll learn what is the color of this transition period.  Which foods should you be eating, and if your lips are cracked, what could this mean? 

An important thing to note for Seasonal Wellness is the aspect of digestion. It’s beneficial to give your digestion tract a rest. Eat like a king at breakfast, lighter at lunch and consume as you’re a pauper at dinner.  Remember, movement is your best friend.  Stagnation is the number 1 killer of people, as it does not allow the organs to function optimally.
