Interviews

Are organic foods really healthier than non-organic foods? Certified clinical nutritionist Karen Falbo is the Nutrition Program Manager for Colorado Based Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage. She’s also the author of a wonderful whole food allergy elimination cookbook (that I own) titled Vital Abundance Cooking. The book contains deliciously healthy recipes that are gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and yeast-free. Karen is an ACE certified fitness instructor and Hatha yoga teacher. If natural health advocates had  ’super heroes,’ Karen would be one and she would have a cool costume and lots of super powers That’s how much I respect her.  She’s relentless in her pursuit in learning and teaching. She walks the walk of natural health in a truly exemplary fashion.

In this interview on Tuesday August 18th at 1PM (MST) we will talk about the real truth regarding the difference between organic and non-organic food.

Here are some key points we discuss…

• A little history on pesticide use (everything was organic before world war II)

• The EWG (environmental working group) ‘dirty dozen list.’ (Why are scientists recommending that we avoid the dirty dozen if there is no difference between organic and conventionally grown produce?)

• The toxic load and body burden (an overview on how the body detoxifies and why it is beneficial to minimize toxin exposure

• Organic laws for product (important regulations—no GMOs, no sewage sludge, etc)

• Organic laws for animal products

• Organic farming (soil health, companion planning, crop rotation, no chemical run off polluting water supply, etc.)—Better for the environment and the community
• Best organic foods to eat to lose weight
  

Factual and accurate information on the truths regarding  organic foods from someone deep within the industry of food quality and distribution.
