Let My People Eat

105 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 39 ratings

On Let My People Eat, co-hosts Jill Sharfman, a holistic nutritionist, and Dr. Andrea Moskowitz, MD, an accomplished psychiatrist, demystify confusing talk about food, arming you with the knowledge and confidence to eat, feel and be healthy every day. Listen in for wholesomely nourishing knowledge, as they discuss, dissect and dial down the hyperbole of the latest in holistic living. Our nutrition approach is based on Dr. Ed Bauman’s Eating for Health® system, which teaches the intrinsic pleasures of choosing nutritious foods and eating them mindfully and with gratitude. This mindset makes food the absolute “best medicine” not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. The kosher lifestyle makes for a special kind of food frustration, as eating is a symbol of celebration and connection and a time-honored feature at every Sabbath, Holiday and community event. We’re here to say: you can have your babka and eat it too!
