Times are unprecedented and uncertain for sure, but be encouraged! There are many positive things going on in the world. Just think how fortunate we are to have things like FaceTime, Skype, Whatsapp, and easy phone access so that we can still connect with those you love when you might otherwise feel isolated. While you have some time, I wanted to share some books that are my absolute favorite reads. These can all keep you educated and motivated while you’re adjusting to all the recent changes. You can order these or download them on Audible or get them digitally for free with a library card and the Libby app. Additionally, I’ve included some of my favorite podcasts. Give them a listen for nonstop encouragement and entertainment!
Like I said, these are my favorite books and they’re written by some of my friends and colleagues who are making nutrition and science digestible (digestible - get it?).
