Have you found that you are more confused than ever about what to eat and how to achieve optimal health? Never has there been a time where knowing what to eat and how to take care of your health and wellbeing was more baffling than it is now. In a time of never ending influencers, misleading research and  corporate agendas, it’s no wonder we are lost in a sea of uncertainty. Today I had the privilege of speaking with Nikalus Gustafson,author and host of the Hungry for Change Podcast.  As a self proclaimed social influencer and creator,  Niklaus is among the few individuals that have no true underlying agenda around educating people about how to pay attention to their health and focus on what feels good to them. While Nikalus studied nutrition in school, and continues to dive into the research in many areas, he does say that he is not an expert in this field. Take a listen to hear what his motivation is in providing the information he shares and how and why he keeps doing it! Learn more about Niklas and his work. P.S.
