info_outlineBefore I started gardening, I was addicted to food and struggled with a very low self image. It wasn’t until I traveled overseas that I saw how growing fresh food can change the way you eat, the way you interact with nature, and the entire rhythm of your day. Taking up gardening changed the way I ate, the way I moved my body, and the way I felt about myself. It literally changed my whole life.
In this episode, I tell you my 10 “hacks” for living a healthier lifestyle that I learned from gardening. These lessons are not about being skinny or having a perfect body. They’re about how you FEEL, how much energy you have to get through your day. They’re not part of a fad or a diet. They’re a lifestyle, and they can change your life too.
Head’s up: I talk a lot about 💩 in this episode, not to be offensive or crude. Your gut just plays a huge part in being healthy. Speaking of, watch the video I made about how gardening can help you poop: https://youtu.be/oI77BW8A-18
