Podcast episode about food wisdom with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.

Nutritionally Dense Food Wisdom for Health and Well-Being with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne PhD

Original Air Date Wednesday, July 17, 2024.

Nutritional Science is a fairly new field of study relative to human existence. In the past, humans grew much of their food in and around where they lived, incorporating a variety of nutritionally dense plants and animals into their diet. Fast forward to today, when industrialization has changed how we feed ourselves, humans more often use satiation above nutrition to gauge our feeding needs.

To gain nuggets of nourishment about nutrients, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD. Sarah founded Nutrivore.com and is the New York Times best-selling author of Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat.

Dr. Sarah Ballantyne studies the effects of nutrients on our body chemistry and which foods contain the highest levels of nutrients relative to the daily value per calorie. Her Nutrivore scoring system offers simple food swap items and additions to create healthier meals for healthier humans.
