This series is all about showcasing Libsyn podcasters. Its sole purpose is to introduce these awesome podcasts to the world as well as share their podcasting insight to empower the community!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Aug. 2015<\/p>\n By the time I was 26 years old, I was an orphan. I lost both my parents to long, debilitating battles with cancer.<\/p>\n When my parents were sick, I asked the doctor, \u201cDoes nutrition matter?\u201d<\/p>\n He said no.<\/p>\n And thus my parents continued to eat a poor diet.<\/p>\n Would this knowledge have saved my parent\u2019s life?<\/p>\n I\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n But shouldn\u2019t every single person have the tools, knowledge, and opportunity to make an informed educated decision about their own health?<\/p>\n The goal of The Food Heals Podcast is to change the conversation about health. Is there a way to recover from chronic, degenerative and terminal diseases without the harrowing sacrifices demanded by traditional methods?<\/p>\n Why must the cure bring more suffering than the illness?<\/p>\n Like the hard-hitting documentaries Forks Over Knives and Food Inc, The Food Heals Podcast aims to show that in today\u2019s highly toxic world, taking total control of your own health and healing through diet is not only possible, it is mandatory.<\/p>\n The knowledge is out there, the need is there. The people are demanding it. The Food Heals Podcast makes the connection forging forward a new conversation about health and a new perspective on the relationship between diet and disease.<\/p>\n Armed with this knowledge, empowered patients and individuals can take their health into their own hands and live longer, stronger, healthier lives!<\/p>\n The Food Heals\u00a0<\/a>Podcast\u00a0is being hailed as \u201cSex and the City for\u00a0Food.”<\/p>\n The\u00a0Food\u00a0Heals\u00a0Podcast\u00a0brings together experts in the field of nutrition, health and\u00a0healing\u00a0to teach you the best-kept natural secrets to being a hotter, healthier, happier YOU!<\/p>\n The\u00a0Food\u00a0Heals\u00a0Podcast\u00a0is hosted by Allison Melody and Suzy Hardy \u2013 two self-proclaimed natural chicks who will rock your world and change your beliefs about health!<\/p>\n This sexy, savvy duo provides eco-friendly advice on a variety of issues including the\u00a0healing\u00a0power of nutrition, living authentically, turning your passion into your career, choosing the best natural health and beauty products, the benefits of a plant-based diet and so much more!<\/p>\n We did a swag bag contest where we partnered up with companies with products and services that we believe in.<\/p>\n We asked these companies to send us products for our Celebrity Swag Bags valued at over $300. We received an amazing line-up of organic health and beauty products including natural deodorant, wrinkle-reducing face cream, refreshing body spray, detox pills, detoxifying clay masks, non-toxic make-up and so much more.<\/p>\n We created 10 swag bags and did a giveaway to ten lucky listeners.<\/p>\n To enter all they had to do was to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes or Stitcher.<\/p>\n We received an overwhelming amount of wonderfully supportive reviews. We picked out ten favorite reviews and we are currently sending out our swag bags to our lucky winners.<\/p>\n We made a lot of mistakes when we started.<\/p>\n But I think all mistakes are lessons learned so actually I\u2019ll say, we had many learning lessons along the way!<\/p>\n Our biggest lesson learned was that we needed to create systems to run our business smoothly.<\/p>\n We thought our small team of two could do it all and still get sleep at night but that turned out not to be the case.<\/p>\n In order to succeed we need to create systems that managed our time more efficiently. For example we now have a scheduling app.<\/p>\n So instead of doing 80 emails back and forth to choose a time for a guest to come in, now we just send them the scheduling link and they can schedule themselves!<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been looking to up-level your diet or simply learning a little bit more about food as medicine, you need to listen to the Food Heals<\/a>\u00a0Podcast. It\u2019s time!<\/em><\/p>\n You can also connect with the Food Heals Nation on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
