What When & How to Eat: Sharon Bergquist on Food as Medicine

from The Visible Voices · host Resa E Lewiss

First released as audio only. Re-edited and now available in video and audio. In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, Dr. Sharon Bergquist — physician, author of the Plantology cookbook, host of The Whole Health Cure podcast, and lifestyle medicine expert at Emory University School of Medicine — joins for an episode on food as medicine and chronobiology. Dr. Bergquist unpacks the science of when we eat, not just what we eat, explaining how meal timing shapes our circadian biology, metabolic health, and disease risk; she makes the case for front-loading calories earlier in the day, and rethinking "healthy" foods like farmed salmon, avocado, and eggs with more nuance. The conversation covers soil quality and dietary diversity, the gut microbiome, protein needs across the lifespan, the community and mindfulness dimensions of eating, and practical take-homes for anyone looking to leverage food as one of our most powerful tools for prevention and longevity.
