The Food Heals Podcast

“Macrobiotic” means “great life!” Warren tells us on this episode of The Food Heals Podcast. We heard about Warren Kramer from Alicia Silverstone’s, The Kind Life which is an interactive extension of her book, The Kind Diet, about living your healthiest and happiest life to the fullest, while taking care of mama Earth at the same time!

As a huge fan of Alicia’s work we could not wait to hear what Warren had to say and after the interview both us us came away thinking MIND = BLOWN! Learned lots of new things in this interview including the meaning of the word, macrobiotic, why it is vitally important to eat at the same time each day, how to alkalize our bodies for optimal health and so much more!
