We all eat every day. But what really goes on “behind the scenes” (aka, inside our body) while we eat? What should we eat? How do we eat? And how can we eat better?

All of these basic questions and more are packed into this insightful episode of the Naturopathic Family Podcast. Sharing with you a presentation he recently gave in the community on the subject, Dr. Michael Smith, a naturopathic physician, takes you on a journey of eating and so many facets of it.
