Listen "Diet and Disease with Laura Burak"
Episode Synopsis
“We wait until people get sick or we wait until there's a problem, but there's no preventative medicine in this country. ”
Laura has always had a deep love for food and for helping people, which naturally led to her career as a registered dietician. But when Laura’s father was diagnosed with brain cancer, a glioblastoma brain tumor, Laura saw the stark effects from the lack of preventative medicine in the US and the potential causation between diet and disease. Laura also shared how her father’s terminal illness impacted her perspective on just about everything in her life.
I sat down with Laura Burak, Registered Dietician, author of Slim Down with Smoothies and founder of GetNaked Nutrition, a virtual nutrition practice and media consulting business dedicated to bringing back the pleasure of finding the foods you love with none of the misinformation. We discuss why Laura chose to pursue becoming a Dietician, how that expertise provided insight during her father’s terminal illness, the role diet and nutrition play in our well-being, the obsession culture of weight loss and so much more…
