Food is so much more than food during the holidays...it’s tradition and celebration and socializing and family dynamics and everything that comes with that. It’s a big story to tell and in Episode 184, Christine and Asha talk about the end-of-summer meltdown that led Christine to tackle her hobbling physical dumpster fire self with a 16-point plan of action. Christine and Asha talk about Christine's anti-inflammatory detox; specifically, how she got started, what she has cut, added, and substituted, how she handled the holidays, what happens when you eat differently than your family, the emotional impact of these changes, and the physical effects of the detox.
