Summary

On this episode of Food Heals, we’re diving into two powerful ways to elevate your health—sprouts and CBD coffee! First, I’ve got updates from Tulum, Mexico. Sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to step away, even if just temporarily, to gain a fresh perspective. Travel is healing for me, and being here in Tulum, surrounded by nature, vegan food, and a holistic community, has been exactly what I needed. I've been indulging in delicious plant-based meals, including the best whipped coffee at Liefs, working out with friends, and soaking in the healing energy of this paradise. But before we dive into today’s powerful conversations about the incredible nutritional benefits of sprouts and the calming ritual of CBD coffee, I want to touch on something important—the impact of air pollution and what we can do to protect ourselves. The recent LA fires have left behind toxic air filled with chemicals from burned plastics, electronics, and building materials, and we need to take proactive steps to safeguard our health. From air filtration to immune-boosting greens, I’ll be sharing my top tips to help you detox and stay well.

Then, we’re diving into two powerful ways to elevate your health—sprouts and CBD coffee! First, I’m sitting down with Doug Evans, a pioneer in the plant-based health movement and author of The Sprout Book, to explore the mind-blowing benefits of sprouts. These tiny nutritional powerhouses can help regulate insulin, improve digestion, and even protect against environmental toxins. We recorded this episode live at Leslie Durso’s house in Marina del Rey, so of course, I had to bring her back to co-host! Leslie Durso, a celebrity vegan chef and wellness expert, is known for making plant-based living stylish, accessible, and delicious.

Then, in part two, I’m chatting with Lindsey Sozio, founder of Lavender Coffee Boutique, a Denver-based coffee shop and online retailer redefining how we experience coffee. Lindsey is on a mission to shift away from the fast-paced coffee culture and turn your morning cup into a mindful wellness ritual—whether you take it with or without CBD.

I have a community here of entrepreneurs, of vegans. It's like one of the vegan capitals of the world,
