What if the issue isn’t just what you’re eating… but what’s missing from your food?
In this episode, Lori sits down with William Grand, CEO of
NutriFusion, to explore how ultra-processed foods are impacting health and what it means for women navigating midlife.
As your body changes in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, nutrient needs shift. Energy, hormones, bone health, and metabolism are all influenced not just by how much you eat, but by the quality and density of nutrients in your food.
This conversation brings together two important perspectives. A whole-food, plant-forward lifestyle as the foundation, and the reality that many people rely on processed and packaged foods.
You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to think about nutrition in a way that is both practical and empowering.
