Memorable Moments:

\xa0\u201dWe need to read every single label, and it can be a bit tedious, but eventually, you\u2019re going to get the hang of it.\u201d

\u201dNow more than ever, it is so important to read labels because there are so many chemicals, additives, and quite frankly just nasty ingredients that are being put into our foods."

\u201dThe key is, you want that list to be as clean as possible. A good rule of thumb here is, if you don\u2019t know what it is, we probably shouldn\u2019t be eating it.\u201d

\u201dThe end goal here is to know what each and every ingredient is, for you to be able to pronounce it, and that list shouldn\u2019t be very long.\u201d

\u201dThe gold standard is to look for pasture-raised eggs with grade AA rating with the organic label.\u201d

\u201dWhen you\u2019re looking at beef, you want organic, grass fed beef.\u201d

\u201dFor chicken, we\u2019re going to look for pasture-raised organic chicken.\u201d

\u201dFor seafood, wild caught is best.\u201d

\u201dThe only ingredient in your proteins should be the protein itself.\u201d
