You are what you eat. You are what you ingest.
To stay alive, you need to ingest elements from the world outside your body. These elements – food, water, air – provide you with the energy you need to stay alive and to do all of the exciting things you do to make life worth living.
The problem is that you ingest a lot of gunk along with the good stuff. Your body has to work hard to sort out the good from the bad. It needs to integrate the good stuff and expel the bad.

In this episode, we take a quick look at how the quality and quantity of what you ingest alters your health, your mood and your mind.
