Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife Redefining Aging with Wellness" the podcast where we discuss how to live an extraordinary life in every aspect. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.

In this episode, Dr. Heidi and I sat down during that cozy back-to-routine energy of early fall to talk about something that’s always top of mind for us and probably for you too: how to truly nourish your body when the world around us has changed so much. We’re diving into why “just eat healthy” isn’t always enough anymore… and what to do about it without turning your kitchen counter into a pharmacy.

Key Highlights:

• Why “food as medicine” still holds true but looks different today than it did 50 years ago

• The surprising reason your vibrant salad might not be as nutrient-rich as you think

• How your DNA actually listens to what you eat and turns health switches on or off

• Why processed food isn’t just “less healthy” but is often missing the very signals your body needs to function

• The surprising truth about “perfect-looking” produce. (hint: beauty isn’t always nutritious)

• Why organic isn’t just about avoiding pesticides but is about nutrient density through natural plant stress

• How modern farming and long transport times quietly drain the goodness from even the best foods

• A mindset shift: thinking of supplements as “concentrated food” not pills

• Four foundational nutrients most of us are low on even when we’re doing our best

• Simple, practical ways to support your immune system, hormones, and long-term resilience from the inside out

  
  

Key Takeaways:

"The food can look beautiful. And it's like, I'm eating this amazing apple and it tastes delicious. And it has no or very little nutrients in it."-Kellie Lupsha

“The more colorful the food, the more the polyphenols, which are those micronutrients that help with oxidative stress in your body, reducing inflammation.” -Dr. Heidi
