Do your social connections impact the food you eat?

What you eat matters, especially for your gray matter. It’s something you’ve heard me say a lot, but nutrition is about more than simply what you eat. It’s how you eat and who you’re eating those meals with. Every food choice, from a quick snack to an entire meal, has a huge impact on your overall health. And those decisions are influenced by the people you love.

I’m excited to welcome Shawn Stevenson back to our show. Shawn is the creator and host of the top health podcast in the U.S., The Model Health Show. He’s also the bestselling author of a brand-new cookbook, Eat Smarter Family Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes to Transform Your Health, Happiness, and Connection.

Everything you eat, even what food you crave, is deeply entrenched in your upbringing and your surroundings. Before you can change those habits long-term, you have to change the culture you have around food and eating. Listen in as Shawn talks about how to change the way you eat so that you can transform not only your body and brain, but the health of your entire family.
