S1 E2: Why Holistic Nutrition Isn’t Anti-Science

Holistic nutrition often gets dismissed as unscientific or “alternative,” but that framing misses the point. In this episode of Root + Nourish, I talk about what holistic nutrition actually is (and what it isn’t). We explore how physiology, biochemistry, and evidence-based research form the foundation of holistic approaches, why context matters in health, and how reductionist thinking can fall short when it ignores stress, nervous system regulation, and lived experience. This episode is about bridging science and real life, and why holistic nutrition is not anti-science, it’s systems-based.
