IS A VEGETABLE THAT'S UGLY NOT WORTH EATING?

Half of all US food produce is thrown away, new research suggests

In today's episode, our hosts Jimmy Moore and Jenna Lightfoot (aka Jenna The Paleo PA) are joined by Paleo, whole food advocate and Crossfit fan Anna Persha on Instagram and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Paleo, low-carb, ketogenic blogger Carole St. Laurent from FoodHealThrive.com. Jimmy and Jenna discuss at the beginning about what happens at a doctor's office when there is a full moon, the overwhelming success of Jimmy's book The Ketogenic Cookbook in U.S. Costco stores, the jump of Jimmy's upcoming October 2016 book The Complete Guide To Fasting to #2 on Amazon.ca this week, and a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs told by the team doctor to eat more potato chips to get more potassium.

COULD YOUR SMARTPHONE BE STRESSING YOU OUT?

Psychologists warn constant email notifications are 'toxic source of stress'

Listen in as Jimmy, Jenna, Anna, and Carole discuss why half of the produce in America is discarded because it's too ugly and imperfect, a new "fat tax" implemented in India, a new study claiming that fat people have less grey and white matter in the brain than thin people, why a low-carb diet gives you bad breath, the new trend to put Chinese herbs in meats, why it's your parent's fault why you can't lose weight, and psychologists warning that constant email updates are causing an unhealthy amount of stress on your body. Plus, don't miss Carole's No-Sweat Basil Vinaigrette recipe and Anna's Apple Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Breast with Apple Vinegar Brussels Sprouts recipe at the end of the show. Now you know what to do--pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let's talk!
