The Kitchen Clutter You Don't See - but Your Body Feels with Mira Dessy | Heather Aardema

from The School of Living Lighter Podcast · host Heather Aardema

I go to my grocery store once a week. My husband, Randy, also makes a weekly grocery run. There are four of us - and food is where a significant portion of our money goes. Do we eat everything we buy? We're getting much better.   When I shop, one of my teenagers always comes with me. I have them read ingredient labels out loud because the print is tiny - and honestly, because it tells us a lot. If they struggle to pronounce what's on the label, I take that as a signal there's probably a better option. We already know food is one of the largest sources of waste in landfills. What we don't talk about as much is the clutter inside processed food itself - ingredients that burden the body, cloud decision-making, and drain energy.   In this episode, I chat with Mira Dessy, also known as The Ingredient Guru, to talk through what to keep, what to question, and what to let go of in the kitchen. This conversation is about creating a kitchen that works with your body instead of against it. If food decisions feel heavy or confusing - and you're ready for a lighter, more supportive way forward - this episode is for you.   Connect with Mira Dessy Website: https://theingredientguru.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theingredientguru Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theingredientguru/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theingredientguru Substack: https://miradessy.substack.com/
