SHOW NOTES
In this episode MacKenzie talks with health-supportive personal chef Whitney Aronoff. They dive deeply into how to nourish ourselves seasonally and sustainably, as well as some behind-the-scenes into the life of a personal chef.
Some of Whitney’s Best Tips and Insights-
A lot of the “heath” products we are now seeing are actually processed foods
Always check labels- never trust a store’s personal brand
Shop straight off of manufacturer’s websites to get the best prices, most options, and freshest products
When we go out to eat we are paying for more than just the food- we are paying the staff, the ambiance, and so much more
Fruit is one of the best ways to eat seasonally
Farmers Markets are a great way to get you out of a food rut
Look at your favorite restaurant’s menus for meal planning inspiration
Avoid seedless fruit at all costs

yay! love Katie!
wow Katie had a good admissions counselor!
I’m curious as to whether you’ve really researched the roots of the enneagram. I believe the original author of the enneagram used channeling to create the enneagram types and then reinforced the types with already existing psychological support. Channeling is demonic. Please look into this before you suggest this “helpful tool” to thousands of followers. 🙏🏻
Nice idea! I am looking forward to learn more about capsule wardrobes
Loved the episode on read aloud books. Tons of great info! Listened 3 times.
