EPISODE 224 - Kanchan Koya wants to demystify healing spices for you and your family. She has a PhD in Biomedicine from Harvard University and training from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Kanchan knows one thing for certain: food can be our best medicine! Spices have powerful health-boosting properties validated by modern science. Plus, they make food ultra-delicious! Yet many of us use them only occasionally and we’re scared to offer them to our kids. Kanchan's goal is to debunk these myths, teach you about the powerful benefits of spices, and inspire you to use them in things you make for your babies and kids. In the episode, she shares her five favorite spices, how to easily incorporate spices into everyday cooking, which spices are safe for babies and young children…and more!
