Navigating the Grocery Aisles with Jennifer Fisher
True wellness comes from changing your lifestyle and mindset about food, not from a diet. It is about cutting through the noise and listening to your body and eating the food that makes you feel your best.
Jennifer Fisher, Owner of Jennifer Fisher Kitchen and Jennifer Fisher Jewelry, went on a journey to heal her Hashimoto’s disease with a gluten-free diet. She discovered that true wellness isn't achieved by fixating on a specific diet but by embracing a whole-food approach with simple ingredients. Jennifer became more discerning about the so-called "healthy" food found on supermarket shelves and learned the difference between products marketed as healthy and those that genuinely nourished her. For her, the key is not to be deceived by the health food industry but to align your choices with personal preferences and goals.
In this episode, Jennifer talks to Jen about the deceptive marketing tactics of so-called "healthy" products, sharing personal experiences and practical tips for navigating the confusing world of food labels.
