Nutritional Wellness: Prioritizing Whole Foods, Protein and Holistic Meals with Liv Kaplan

Ep 161: Continuing with our 8 dimensions of wellness series, we are joined by Liv Kaplan to talk all things nutrition! Although nutrition technically falls under the physical realm, we felt like food was such an important aspect that it deserved its entire own episode. Liv has been a wish list guest of ours since the beginning so getting to have her on the show is truly a dream come true! We ask her all the questions we've been eager to hear her take on.Liv Kaplan is a holistic nutritionist (BSc) and self-proclaimed healthy chef. She specializes in sugar-free and gut-friendly recipes with a focus on the magic of real food. When it comes to wellness, it's about what you can have, not what you can't.CHAPTERS: (00:00) Introduction and Peaks of the Week(06:30) Introduction of Guest: Liv Kaplan(08:00) Liv's Background and Career(13:10) Liv's Approach to Food Content(19:50) Importance of Connecting with Nature and Food Growing(23:28) Liv Kaplan's Meal Formula(29:27) Approaching Intuitive Eating and Trusting Yourself(35:32) Negative Repercussions of Consuming Sugar(39:45) Cutting Sugar and the Five-Day Sugar-Free Challenge(43:32) Approaching Caffeine and Individuality(44:01) Energy Drinks vs. Coffee(47:20) The Importance of Protein(54:59) Hopes for the Future of Nutrition(56:21) What Makes a Good Friend(57:16) Where to Find Liv KaplanMENTIONS:Liv Kaplan InstagramLiv Kaplan TikTokSign Up for Liv's NewsletterComing Soon: Her New Course!SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: Factor - Real nutrition, made simple.
