Organic food is big business these days.

Here in the US, it raked in about 50 billion dollars last year alone, and that number is projected to exceed 135 billion by 2025.

What does \u201corganic\u201d really mean, though? And is it worth it?

Are you really improving your health by eating organic food, or is it just a marketing ploy to exploit the common belief that if something is more \u201cnatural,\u201d it\u2019s automatically better for you?

Some people say you should eat as much organic food as possible, full stop. Avoid conventional produce, dairy, meat, and any GMO products at all costs, they say.

Others claim there\u2019s nothing special about organic food whatsoever beyond its price tag.

Well, as is often the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle, and I invited Lacey Dunn on the podcast to break it all down.

In case you\u2019re not familiar with her, Lacey is a personal trainer, registered dietician with a master\u2019s degree in nutrition, and the owner of UpliftFit Nutrition, where she provides science-based diet and fitness coaching for people around the world.
