We already intuitively know that food is more than fuel. We know that it is real medicine on so many levels! It is energy, nutrition, health, memory, beauty and straight up YUM.
So why do we need to be reminded so regularly?
In this conversation Ashley Ferguson Combs reminds us to SIT, SAVOR and HEAL (instead of grab and go).
Mom, founder of Breda's Bentos, and Holistic Nutritionist at Atma Integrative Health Clinic here in Lawrence, and I together explore how our meals get to be invitations: to slow down, to reconnect, and to spiral upward into what it feels like to be our best, most radiant selves.
From the philosophy behind Breda’s Bentos, to Filipino recipes like adobo, bibingka, and lumpia, Ashley teaches us the ways that nourishment can come through so many relationships that we have with our food.
We talk about:
• Why slowing down to sit and savor changes everything
• How “spiraling up” starts with one nourishing choice
• The medicine of recipes passed down through family and community
• Rethinking nutrition beyond restriction and deprivation
• What social media is getting right and what it's getting wrogn about how we can feed ourselves well
