Tune in to hear us discuss the problem with processed foods, why food dyes are so concerning (and the sneaky new names for them!), preservatives and additives to be on the lookout for, and so much more. 

In this episode we are breaking down the importance of selecting whole real foods and considerations in clean products or pantry staples weighing out where the line is from processed products to whole foods. We will cover the most concerning additives and ingredients to be aware of as well as how whole food sources are more nutrient dense.
