In this episode of The Align Podcast, we talk about all things nutrition and the connection between our psychological state and our physiology. Chris tells us about the psychosomatic relationships of our cultures, our minds, and our biology. We debate whether everything we know about nutrition is actually true and discuss the importance of human connection and touch on our health, especially after the pandemic. We go over how to live a healthy life, why we exercise and how how to mix ancestral wisdom with modern technology.
