This week, we welcome Marni Wasserman, the host of the Ultimate Health Podcast. Marni is a chef and a nutrition expert, and she's here to tell us about how she transitioned from being a strict vegetarian to adopting a plant-based Paleo approach. We chat about the books Marni has written about food, fermenting, and plant-based diets and what inspired her to start a podcast. She tells us about how she started at her parents’ home and then moved her kitchen to a beautiful dedicated space in Toronto before moving into the online realm with her current services. She gives us great insight into what inspired her alterations to her vegetarian diet and what her day-to-day cooking routine consists of. Marni unpacks her ongoing struggles with Hashimoto’s and how this informs what she does both personally and professionally. For all this and more, listen in!
