Podcast Episode 072: Food Cults – Robyn Flipse
Aug 22, 2017
“I’m passionate about empowering people to make the best food choices they can in their everyday lives, without fear, guilt, or doubt. Eating isn’t a contest we’re all in to see who does it the best. It’s a personal journey where you get to show up for practice every single day, ready or not”.– Robyn Flipse

Great segment with Robyn! So many different reasons lead us to choose the foods we eat- from traditions to ‘proclaimed’ cures!
