How To Follow The Pegan Diet

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens.
You can exercise, meditate, sleep, and take all the supplements in
the world, but unless you focus on high-quality, nutrient-dense
whole foods personalized to your own needs and preferences, you
will not achieve health or longevity. The Pegan Diet is an
inclusive, flexible frame that is built on the principles of
quality, food as medicine, and personalization. It is designed to
be low glycemic (low in starch and sugar), rich in good fats,
anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, hormone balancing, energy boosting,
and gut healing. It is nutrient dense and rich in longevity
phytochemicals, polyphenols, antioxidants, and microbiome-healing
fibers. It is designed to regenerate both human and planetary
health, which are inseparable. In today’s episode of my series I’m
calling Health Bites, I walk you through exactly how to follow the
Pegan Diet. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and
Athletic Greens. Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine
