Food as Medicine, Food as a Drug

On this show, I discuss the vital role of nutrition in health and disease.  I get into how food affects our endocrine systems, impacting our growth and reproductive health in tremendous ways.  I talk about stress and how stress influences thyroid and adrenal function.  Nutrition truly is fundamental in all of this and we all need to learn how to best eat in order to stave off the damage and inflammation which comes from stress, most of which is preventable.   References: Browned Toast, Potatoes May Raise Cancer Risk http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/874874 https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/diet/acrylamide-fact-sheet
