Episode #20 : Healthy, Happy Living Lessons From A Teenage Foodie

Your relationship with food has a real and significant impact to your overall wellness and fitness. Eating well, appreciating fresh, whole food and reconnecting with the tastes and textures in the home kitchen – these are things that can turn your life around and help you regain the health and happiness that you seek. My guest in this episode, Joshua Weissman, knows from experience how a healthy food philosophy can change the life not just of one person, but also of a community. Being tired of being overweight, being of poor health and being a victim of bullying, Joshua retraced his steps and rediscovered the good things that a good meal can actually bring. His passion for cooking has led him to understand food better and has turned him now into a successful author of the book, "The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook." He’s also a popular food blogger, a published author in leading online food sites and is hailed as a local food hero. And did I mention that he’s only 18 years old? In this podcast episode, Joshua shares to us how you’re never too old – or too young – to be a food lover in the healthiest, most life-affirming way. Curious?
