Hi, welcome to episode 13 of the Wellness Mama Podcast where I provide simple answers

for healthier families.

I'm Katie from WellnessMama.com.

Did you know that during your lifetime you'll eat almost 60,000 pounds of food?

That's the weight of about six elephants.

The average American eats at McDonald's more than 1800 times in their life.

With the amount of food we consume, it's so important to realize how much of an impact

food has on our bodies in so many ways.

And we're going to be talking a lot about food and other aspects of health with today's

guest, Dr. Pedram Shoji.

Pedram founded Well.org and he is an accomplished author and producer of the documentary Vitality.

He also has another documentary coming out in November.

He studied both traditional and alternative health and he's traveled the world studying

and speaking.

He and his wife recently had their first child and I've enjoyed getting to know Pedram

and hear about his little one.

So welcome, Pedram.

Thanks for being here.

Hey, thanks for having me.

Awesome.

Well, I'd love to jump right in.

I know a passion for both of us is creating a better future for the next generation.
