In this episode of 1,000 Waking Minutes , Dr. Wendy Bazilian takes us beyond the typical snack aisle debate and into a conversation about energy, nourishment, and real life. In fact, in our 1,000 waking minutes, snacks may be the most flexible, frequent, and overlooked opportunity to nourish well. In this episode of 1,000 Waking Minutes , Dr. Wendy Bazilian explores the surprisingly significant role snacks play in our daily nutrition—and how to shift from random bites to intentional choices.
