Dietitian Explains The Science of Using Food as Medicine

In this first episode I'm covering the science behind how food impacts your health, how food impacts disease, and key takeaways for you to start using food as your medicine.
Unfortunately, there’s no magic pill that can fix chronic symptoms, conditions, and diseases. But the great news is, you can improve your health with the choices you make day-to-day, starting with your food. #foodismedicine #nutrition

I’m an oncology nurse and my coworker and I were just talking yesterday about how so much of what we consume contributes to the many health conditions we see, specifically how processed foods can potentially play a role in a cancer diagnoses. Thank you for helping spread education on how we can use food to fuel our body and our health. There’s endless drugs and education out there to treat diseases but next to no information on how to prevent diseases through diet. Your work is so so important and I’m so grateful to of found you!

[@beingbrigid]

Hi Brianna! I love this! Thank you for the work that you do. They 100% can play a role in cancer diagnoses! I have several colleague working on research and programs in integrative oncology and the results are mind blowing.

What you eat and drink has a major effect on your overall health. Also your lifestyle choices plays a big role in determining your long term health and wellness…taking care of your health is more important than most people realize 💯

[@kiptomkin8549]

BRAVO!!!! YOU'VE BROKEN THE ICE!!! ❤

[@faithhommes9598]

Love that you created a KZbin channel! I would love a video on birth control/balancing hormones. A lot of women, myself included, are struggling with hormonal/period issues and our doctors are telling us to get on the birth control pill as a solution. Would love your take on this 😌

[@beingbrigid]

Thank you for this feedback!! I will absolutely cover this in an episode! Such an important issue that so many women experience.

[@NathanGuillen-sn3cs]

​@beingbrigid I agree. I think we need more transparency with both foods and medicine.

[@breahrobinson1873]

My husband and I have been actively talking about how healthcare is not enough. Super helpful to have a professional who endorses that! What we put in our bodies matters. Looking forward to your future videos :)

[@beingbrigid]

YES Breah! This could not be more true. Lots more to come to support you in that thought pattern!

[@mrsandrealamb]

As I get older it has been my goal to stay out of the healthcare system for as long as possible. I appreciate having another resource like this to aid in that. Thank you!

[@beingbrigid]

I love that mindset. I'm excited for you to learn more with future episodes! :)

[@lanahenry-ur2nm]

I’m so excited about your KZbin channel! I am so thankful that I learned to use nutrition as medicine in reversing my moderate insulin resistance! I’ve made so much progress and have been able to see the physical effects on the outside, mental and emotional effects and also to see significant changes with blood work. I’ve been on this path of using food as medicine pretty much on my own through resources online like yours since I didn’t have access to functional medicine doctors and I’m so thankful for people like you who put the information out there!

[@beingbrigid]

Awesome Lana! Congratulations on all of your success.

I’m in my 30s with two kids and trying for a third soon. I have PCOS and am trying to learn to manage and balance my hormones naturally. Learning so much. Have hope!

[@beingbrigid]

Hey Chelsea! I love your goals. We have worked with a lot of clients with PCOS and have seen a lot of success. So much comes down to improving blood sugar balance and lowering inflammation. You've got this!

Excited you’ve started your KZbin channel. I seem to need constant encouragement and direction to eat well and avoid the pitfalls.

[@jenniferrhoads131]

Love this! ❤ The food we choose to eat can make such a difference in how we feel. I struggle with emotional eating that gets me off track.

[@beingbrigid]

Hi Jennifer! I completely agree! It's great that you are aware of how emotional eating can derail you so that you can figure out the tools and steps you need to keep you on track. We will definitely address this more in the future! :)
