What’s good everyone, I can’t believe it’s that time of year again. We’re in the holiday season and that brings celebrations, family events, and big dinner. Although the food is great, much of it isn’t very healthy. Is a Turduken healthy!?? Let’s be honest, some of the foods we eat or how we cook has been passed down through generations. It’s 2019 and a lot has changed with how we think about food and nutrition.  My next guest, who is Dr. Lauren Powell, has something to say about this.
