This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Chef Chuck Hayworth is here with us today, and he is a chef who lost his ability

to eat normally and had to rethink food

completely. He's going to tell us a little bit about that journey because you guys know that I love to talk

about food as medicine, and this is, I think, our guy to really talk about this with. So hi, Chuck.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be on your show.

Yes, we are very aligned in our thinking and in our way that, you know, like the old

timers in the South used to say, you are what you eat, and that's absolutely true.

Yeah, but they didn't really know what they were saying when they said that, did they?

Because I'm from Louisiana and we did not eat clean.

Well, the funny thing is, the thought pattern of our food system and the way we eat has significantly

changed, significantly changed. But the old timers were right, but most of the time they went out to the

garden and got vegetables and got, you know, picked fruits that were in season off the trees in the backyard and things like that.

And I think we really need to return to that lifestyle at some point in time.

I mean, as I sit here talking to you today, I'm on my son forged, but I've got a couple fruit trees that are at springtime here in the south, as you know,

and I got a couple fruit trees that are blossoming and flowering for me, and I'm very, very

excited about the season to come, if you will.

I've tried to get into gardening. I just got a new system that I can do indoors, and it's a

little self-monitoring to keep killing everything.

No, no, no.

I agree with you with that.
