Today we talk about a subject that many of us love, but may also have some struggles with - food.

Our guest today is here to make it simple and yes, even fun. Erin Smandych is a self described “nutrition nerd”. She blends her background as a Culinary Nutrition Expert and Coach, to mentor many clients across Canada and Europe. Erin empowers us today by openly sharing her own journey with food, how she helps others shift their mindset surrounding health and wellness, and gives us the top three changes we can take on to have a dramatic effect on our well being.
