From the hidden reality of the dairy industry and why cows only produce milk when they're pregnant, to what really happens when creators are censored, reinstated, and quietly invited back after years of being silenced. She shares her personal experience with peptides, what she's learned so far, and why she believes they should be approached thoughtfully and with the right medical support. Then things get a little spicy. Allison spills the tea on a former Food Heals guest who is now making waves on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the rise of manifestation gurus, and what happens when empowerment crosses the line into grifting. After the Q&A, Allison welcomes award winning author and longtime vegan Ellen Kanner, author of Miami Vegan, for a vibrant conversation about food, culture, and sex. They talk about: Tropical flavors and plant based living inspired by Miami Why vegetables should be the star of the plate How to make vegan food sexy, flavorful, and accessible Aphrodisiac foods you should be cooking for date night The surprising connection between watermelon, nutmeg, avocado, and sex How plants can support intimacy, circulation, and connection Plus, practical tips for eating plant based on a budget, navigating restaurants as a vegan, and making the transition without feeling deprived. If food is medicine, this episode proves it can also be pleasure.
