Do you ask yourself these questions when you drink from your tap or putting items in your grocery cart? We know that optimal health starts with our inputs. What we put in our minds and bodies has both immediate and downstream effects on our health and wellness. And the body is the highest resolution feedback from how we have been living the last 6 months. The good news is that we have a lot of control over what goes in our bodies, and ultimately what we get back from it. And we have a lot more information and resources to become more aware of how healthy are those inputs.

Two recent episodes of the Healthcare Insights podcast highlight the primary sources of water and food and how we may be better served on a day to day basis. So if you have some time to listen - and listening is cool because you can be active while doing so - check out these two episodes of the podcast that dive a little deeper in the quality of water and food here in the US.
