I'm Marjorie Punnitt. I'm Elizabeth Reese. This is Best of the Ness, the podcast that's all about creating strong, comfortable, beautiful nests that prepare us to fly.

Oh, and it is time for a December edition of our watch, read, listen, and a bonus, what you're eating.

I love when we talk about this. And I am telling you, as I've been consuming things, I've been thinking over the last, like, few weeks, oh, this is going to be so good to share on watch, read, listen. By the time we're done doing this, we'll have like 16 different categories. But I love, I love that you're all in on the eating. But first, we want to thank our sponsor before we get to all of that Healing Insight, founded by Dr. Sanyamay. Healing Insight is based in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is a sanctuary for

women seeking answers beyond conventional medicine. She's a trusted expert with more than 18 years

of experience in acupuncture and functional medicine. Oh, the best. Healing Insight specializes in helping women at every

stage of their pregnancy journeys as well. So that's really something to think about, whether it's

you or someone you know. And we're going to tell you more about that coming up. But first,
