We are so excited for you all to meet Talia Koren of Workweek Lunch! 

Workweek Lunch is a subscription and platform that helps hundreds of thousands of busy people all over the world create a system around food that gets them more out of life (aka meal prep).

Instead of focusing on helping people lose weight or “eat clean” like most meal planning and meal prep sites, we advocate for intuitive eating and help people save time, save money, have more energy, stress less over food, and reduce food waste. Their readers and customers learn to be better cooks, better planners and be kinder to themselves in the process.

The lovely and talented Samantha Deily joined us on this episode of the podcast! Sam is Marianne's best friend and college roommate. 

Sam is an occupational therapist (OT). No, it's not the same as a physical therapist. She does amazing work within the geriatric community as an OT. We chat with Sam about what occupational therapy actually is and how it helps provide stability to people in their everyday lives so they can complete everyday tasks.

If you've ever been curious about WHAT acupuncture is and HOW it works, you've come to the right podcast.

Laura is a vegan nutritionist who helps people eliminate foods they are eating that may be harming their overall health. She's not only a nutrition coach but she teaches cooking classes to people of all ages and takes a very holistic approach to wellness. Don't let "vegan" intimidate you, she doesn't preach that veganism is the only way to live. 

In this episode we talk about some misconceptions around food, what veggies are great for you for different brain & gut health reasons, and how you can get creative with food to benefit your life.
