Tweetable Quotes:
“We know that the diet in America is an unhealthy diet that tends to be heavy and processed foods, added sugars, and animal products. So any way that you can reduce those foods that are inflammatory is going to be beneficial for your health rather than focusing on a label and thinking that, oh, I have to be vegan or I have to be fully plant-based is my approach.” - Dr. Judy
“It takes a lot of mindset work, changing your mind about what you believe about yourself, your relationship with food, and mindful eating.” - Dr. Judy
