70% of Our Health is Lifestyle. Regardless of Your Genetics. Lisa Parda

Ep 99: On this episode we are grateful to have Lisa Parda. Lisa is the Owner of RealtyScape Brokerage and co-host of Lisa and Robyn on the Mic, a live weekly radio show. Food has become Lisa's latest way of exploring connection. Her new cookbook, My Love Language Is Food, isn't about flawless recipes — it's about survival, joy, and the small rituals that keep people going. Lisa draws from her own seasons of struggle: long work hours, the ups and downs of body image, and the lessons of using food both as comfort and as medicine. #EatBetterFoodToday #Longevity #Health #genetics #lifestyle #realestate #lovelanguageisfood #bakeacookie Please visit our website https://eatbetterfoodtoday.com for YouTube videos, this week's recipe, interviews, books, research.
