We’re continuing our popular series with wellness expert Elissa Goodman and getting practical about one of the most talked-about problems in our country: the “Standard American Diet.” We all know that processed food, fake ingredients, and sugar-packed snacks are surefire ways to derail our good health. Elissa is sharing insights on just how bad our chemical-laden ways can really be. Stop and reflect: some call the S.A.D. diet the number one cause of cancer in our country – we owe it to ourselves to get smart and find ways to improve what we eat on a daily basis. 

You can do it! Make small changes based on Elissa’s six easy ideas to overhaul your diet – you’ll be glad you did…

Is your diet killing you slowly? The American diet is riddled with pesticides, chemicals, and GMO’s that our bodies don’t know what to do with. The industries making the majority of our food are focused on their bottom line. When a corporation spends billions of dollars on creative marketing and is in cahoots with your congressional delegates, it’s no wonder we’ve become confused about what we should be eating. The American diet is filled with unhealthy fats, hormones, and chemicals created in a lab. Our bodies go into overdrive just trying to break this stuff down. This is the main cause of cancer in America.
