Whole Food Transformation (KFY010)

In today’s podcast, you get to hear the amazing whole food transformation story of France and Joshua from BeyondThePeel.net. This is one of those stories that you’ll never forget! They were “forced” to eat whole foods and the amazing changes that ensued were so remarkable it was impossible to ignore them.

That and more on today’s episode of Know Your Food with Wardee.

What’s in Episode #10?

In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, I’m visiting with France and Joshua from BeyondThePeel.net, creators of The Whole Food Jump Start.

They join me to talk about the power of whole foods: why you should embrace them, how you can make them a part of your life, and what’s possible when you do.

You’ll hear how they were “forced” to eat whole foods and what amazing changes that brought to their lives.

Also, France and Joshua share tips for those new to whole foods, and they’ve generously set up a page full of free resources to help you make a whole food transformation yourself — check out their Quick Start Kit. (Plus, there are three more free videos at the Whole Food Jump Start when you sign up for their mailing list.)

Here’s a little about them in their own words:

“Cookbook author France Morissette believes that healthy food should be uncompromising when it comes to flavor. She and her husband Joshua creatively explore the world of natural, whole foods, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to create mouth watering, flavor packed, whole food meals. Through stories, photos, recipes and their online show Beyond The Peel TV, they’re on a mission to help you get healthy, boost your energy, and enjoy every last bite in the process.”

And now to the episode. Here are the questions I asked France and Joshua. The answers are inside the podcast; click play.

iTunes Update

If you subscribed to my podcast on iTunes early on, I must ask you to subscribe again as that original listing has been deprecated. This is because I had to start all over again at iTunes. My original submission to iTunes didn’t include the right information — like cover image or even my name as the author of the podcast. I figured out how to fix it, but unfortunately iTunes doesn’t let you update a listing –you have to start over. So I started over right here. Please resubscribe!

What’s Coming Up…

Since this week we talked about a whole food transformation, next week I decided to share with you my top tips for a traditional food transformation. These topics go hand in hand and since I’ve been wanting to share, I figured next week is perfect timing.
