[Ep. 35] Decolonizing Your Diet | Claudia Serrato (Culinary Anthropologist)

Holistic Life Navigation

Today's episode is probably my favorite of all time. I speak with Claudia Serrato who is, among many other things, a womb ecologist & indigenous culinary anthropologist.
We speak about reawakening our bodies with ancestral foods from our heritage, as well as wild foods ancient to the lands that we currently reside on.
We speak about decolonizing our bodies and minds through our diets. We also talk about decolonizing the taste buds of our children as they develop in the womb.
The foundation of our conversation is about honoring our land through food. We both agree that, through honoring our land, we become aware of our connection to all living things and we lose the social constructs of classism, racism, sexism, and any other concepts that separate us.
