Happy Friday!

Okay, what's the deal with seed oils? And food dyes? If you are like me, you've been wanting some unbiased, evidence-based information around these topics. So here it is!

Molly Kimball, RD, is a force of nature. Founder of Ochsner Eat Fit (a healthy eating program in New Orleans - yes, you CAN eat healthy here and still eat good food 😋) and just a lovely human, Molly came on my Food Allergy and Your Kiddo podcast to share the facts on eating clean versus over-restriction.

Reply with your thoughts!

Have a great weekend,
Alice
