Episode 22: Joana Castro - Food Therapy Expert 👨‍🍳✨

Today I’m honored to be joined by Joana Castro, a food therapy expert — who tuned in all the way from Portugal! 🇵🇹💫   Joana is passionate about the science behind food and healing 🌱- blending modern research, ancient wisdom from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her own lived experience. She reached out to share her story of what led her to focus on food medicine, and I found it very inspiring (and relatable in different ways) 🩵   With an impressive background in biomedical engineering 🧬 working in hospitals, researching molecular physics, and later serving as an engineer and program manager at Microsoft for 7 years — Joana’s path shifted after a health collapse. That turning point led her to reprioritize her life and dive deep into medicinal practices, ultimately guiding her to food therapy.   How we nourish our bodies is at the core of our health and wellness 🍎 Tune in to hear Joana’s journey and learn how food, nutrition, and tailored meal plans can help heal your body from the inside out 🥘🤍   Joana now runs her own business, “My Own True Balance”, offering personalized meal plans and food therapy sessions.
