About the episode:

“Regenerating health will start when the burden of toxic chemicals begins to lift. Without addressing this underlying burden on the body, the effort to consume nutrient-rich food is simply a way to plug the holes of vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by glyphosate.”- Kathleen DiChiara.

In this episode, Kathleen describes her dramatic journey feeding her family, how she figured out that chemicals in the food were a major trigger for her and her family’s health issues, and how she turned things around. We have a straightforward and honest conversation about food quality, making decisions about where to spend our money, the value of keeping chemicals out, and how the phrase “let food be thy medicine” might be steering us in the wrong direction.

Guest Bio:

Kathleen DiChiara is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, BioIndividual Nutrition Practitioner, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, health advocate, and trained chef. She is the founder of Rhode to Health, Inc., an internationally-recognized nutrition educator, author, researcher, speaker, mom of three, and health advocate.

Kathleen broke into the field of nutrition when at age 35, she went from being a competitive triathlete working in capital markets at a Fortune 500 company to completely disabled. At the same time, her son was diagnosed with autism and she counted 25 chronic illnesses just in her family of 5 alone! These events served as inspiration for Kathleen’s career change and commitment to reeducation.

Her most recent award-winning book, End Chronic Disease: The Healing Power of Beliefs, Behaviors, and Bacteria explores the intersection of mindset, daily habits, and the microbiome.
