The Food Matters Podcast with James Colquhoun & Laurentine ten Bosch, filmmakers & founders of Food Matters.
Here at Food Matters, we understand the power of food to harm or heal. However, are you aware of the subtle yet profound ways in which our environment affects our health and vitality? Many of us don't realize how everyday products we use can harm our health.
No matter how well you eat, if you continue to use these everyday toxins, you may be unknowingly harming your health. Darin Olien takes us deeper into how these are disrupting our health and environment.
