33. Food as Medicine, Gratitude, Movement + More with Dr. Elizabeth Boham

Dr. Elizabeth Boham joins us again in a continuation from last week, to talk about the need to bring nutrition into medicine, the exercise/movement distinction, eating real food, the role gratitude and stress reduction can have in fighting disease, and her own health journey, which included beating back breast cancer while in medical school. We talk a bit more about functional medicine, and I relate my own relationship with that approach. LET'S TALK THE WALK!
