The Great Courses, is an online learning source that has been one of my favorite tools in helping me to better understand how food impacts our health.
This lecture series by, Dr. Mimi Guarneri, called, “The Science of Natural Healing, ” is proving to be one of the more insightful and knowledge filled sources I have found so far. If anyone wants a starting point…this is it. There is so much great information in this series that I think it will warrant several listens. I am hoping to do many blog posts about the topics she brings up so I may remember all she has told me. If you have the desire to learn more I highly suggest listening to this series.
