Episode Details

One of my missions is to help folks create a culture of health and wellness in their own families. Habits like eating packaged ultra-processed foods and consuming meals in front of screens have become normalized. But if we want to create true health for ourselves and our children, it’s critical that we have an understanding of how nutrient dense foods, creativity, and connection can help us live healthier, longer, more fulfilled lives.

Today’s guest, Ben Greenfield, is a New York Times bestselling author, a health consultant, and an expert on all things longevity and anti-aging. His new book, Boundless Kitchen, is full of creative recipes that will help you improve your health, promote longevity, and enjoy your meals.

In this interview, Ben is back on The Model Health Show to share important insights on creating a healthy culture in your home, including getting your kids engaged in food preparation, how to eat for longevity, and which lifestyle factors can help you digest your food better and optimize your health.
