As many of us know, the food we eat impacts everything. Current food systems are failing us in terms of livelihoods, inequality, human health, and the environment. Today’s guest, renowned writer, Mark Bittman, is one of the most successful food writers of all time. Over the past 30 years, he has penned over 17,000 recipes and countless books, including the best-selling book “How To Cook Everything.” In the past, he wrote mostly about the pleasures of cooking but has shifted gears to become a food activist. Today, Mark Bittman inspires us to eat a healthy diet that is also sustainable.
Today’s podcast was sponsored by Ordinary Vegan Organic CBD made from hemp. The reason I began creating my own brand of CBD is that I believe in the power of this natural organically grown plant and I wanted to provide our community with a safe, clean and reliable brand. My goal is to help you live a long, healthy, pain-free, insomnia-free, and anxiety-free life. If you have any questions - don’t hesitate to ask me at questions @ordinaryvegan.net.

Mushrooms are one of the hottest wellness trends of 2021. From weight management to cognitive health, the mushrooms' health benefits are abundant. Today's podcast is dedicated to exploring the magic and the mystery of mushrooms with mushroom guru, Jeff Chilton.
Jeff Chilton has been deeply steeped in mushrooms since 1973.
In the late seventies, he was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethnomycology, and mushroom cultivation.
During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator.
In the 1980’s he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the US nutritional supplement industry.
Since 1989, Nammex has pioneered the development and manufacture of mushroom extracts for the health and wellness industry. Nammex specializes in mushroom products and is the premier supplier of organically certified mushroom extracts
I hope today's podcast on mushrooms' health benefits inspires you to add more mushrooms to your diet.

The National Institutes of Health released a study that "revealed very high rates of clinically significant insomnia along with more stress, anxiety, and depression since the Covid-19 pandemic." All-natural CBD from hemp can enhance the serotonin receptors. Low serotonin levels are commonly associated with people who have depression and anxiety. Anxiety is a key factor behind insomnia. I hope my CBD can help you get a good night's sleep.

Are you thinking of adding more plants to your diet in 2021? Today's podcast shares some easy vegan swaps to ease the transition.
Finding substitutions for animal products is perhaps the most difficult part of vegan cooking. But it can also be the healthiest thing you can do. For example, when you switch one tablespoon of aquafaba for one egg, you cut out 5 grams of fat and 75 calories. So if you are looking for equally delicious and healthy vegan swaps, look no further.
Podcast #96 will introduce you to many vegan swaps and recipes along with:
I hope today's simple vegan swaps helps your transition to a plant-based diet.

In today's podcast, Dr. Noelle LoConte discusses the relationship between alcohol and cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, alcohol use is one of the most preventable risk factors for cancer. They further state that alcohol use accounts for about 6% of all cancers and 4% of all cancer deaths. For many cancers, the more alcohol you drink, the higher your cancer risk. But for some types of cancers, in particular breast cancer, consuming even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk.
Furthermore, BreastCancer.org warns women that as little as three alcoholic drinks per week give you a 15% higher risk of breast cancer compared to non-drinkers.
Noelle LoConte, M.D., specializes in the relationship between alcohol and cancer. She is the first author on the American Society of Clinical Oncology policy statement on alcohol and cancer and has served on the ASCO prevention Committee.
Dr. LoConte is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center in Madison, Wisconsin. She completed medical school at the University of Illinois at Chicago, did her internal medicine internship at UW, and completed her internal medicine residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. Her clinical interests are in medical oncology, and she maintains a practice in gastrointestinal cancers. Her research and outreach interests are in cancer control across the cancer continuum, and she is the principal investigator (PI) for the Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Program. Through this work, she chairs the action plan on alcohol for Wisconsin.
