Lea Sednaoui: The Blood Type Diet

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature. In this weeks episode I'm talking to Lea Sednaoui (@chewchoose), chef and follower of the Blood Type Diet. Lea was struggling with her health when she turned 30, she was sluggish, overweight, sleeping badly, eating excessive amounts of animal protein and she turned it all around to be the vibrant and energetic person she is now. The Blood Type diet is, duh, different for each blood type and you stick to foods that are beneficial for your type as dictated by founder and geneticist, Dr D'Adamo.  We also talk about our modern fascination with eating the same foods over and over again (hello overnight oats with nut butter), our Western sense of entitlement surrounding food, and how we're all missing a trick by not including anything more varied - not just for our health but also our tastebuds!  Lea's food is an incredible fusion of Lebanese and French cuisine and she's passionate about slow cooking, slow living and really embracing our culinary heritage.  For all the BTS you can find me, @gracekingswell or gracekingswell.com for all things Nutrition related.
