Episode Summary:
Ever wondered how the food you eat and the lifestyle you lead impact your health, especially as you age? Join Aimee, a double-degreed nutritionist with 20 years of experience, as she dives deep into this topic on the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast with host Tina Stinson.

Notable Quotes/ Key Takeaways:

"You may have a genetic predisposition and most of us have a genetic predisposition for something, but it is our environment that triggers the genetic decline." - Aimee

"Frozen food often tastes sweeter because it's actually riper. It has more nutrients, more antioxidants, more phytochemicals in it. In many instances, frozen food is actually more nutrient-dense than fresh, depending on where you live and where you're purchasing your produce"​ - Aimee

"Always be thinking about your protein and your produce. If at the start of each meal you ask yourself, 'Where's the protein? Where's the produce?' and ensure they show up at each meal, it's single-handedly the most important thing we can do to age powerfully. We need protein for our musculature, which is our first line of defense against developing diabetes and osteoporosis"​ - Aimee
