"Food and Medicine: Most Common Questions about Diet" with Anthea Levi, RD

Anthea is a registered dietitian at the private practice Culina Health and a freelance health reporter based in New York City. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Emory University and is one month away from completing her Master’s in Clinical Nutrition at New York University. She completed her clinical training at NYU Langone Health. Anthea believes that how and what we eat drives the way we feel, think, and live. She learned this firsthand during her time as a writer for Health magazine, where she worked with countless dietitians and doctors to craft stories about the impact of our food choices on our physical and mental well-being. This experience inspired Anthea to devote her career to helping others harness the power of real foods to stay well. She does this through one on one nutrition counseling and continues to work as a contributor covering food and nutrition for popular media outlets including Health.com, Livestrong.com, and BuzzFeed Health, among others.In the conversation we cover out common questions related to the link between food and medicine.
