Food Wisdom from My Mom: Nutrition, Seed Oils & Healing After Loss

269: My mom is finally on the podcast, and we have a lot to talk about. She has been one of the biggest influences in my personal nutrition journey, teaching me the power of whole foods from an early age. She is also one of the strongest people I know. Our family has survived so much, and my mom is sharing some of the lessons she’s learned from the hardship. It’s a beautiful, emotional and cathartic conversation - I hope you enjoy it.    Topics Discussed: → What timeless food lessons can Mama Swan teach us?  → How have eating habits and nutrition changed across generations? → Why did my mom know not to trust seed oils from day one (despite the hype)? → How can parents teach kids about food without triggering restrictions? → What are some strategies for healing from loss and hardship?
