While I’m not a nutritionist, I’ve used my background in microbiology to deep-dive into the research and have learned a lot about nutrition through the course of my clean eating journey. In addition to offering tasty recipes, I want to share the research findings how food impacts our bodies and what foods are better or worse for us. I also want to address questions readers might have because I know I sure had a lot of questions going into this! And there’s a lot of confusing information out there.
