Believe Big: Food For Thought Interview - The Truth About Juicing - Heather Cooan | Oncology Nutrition Consultant and Educator

Juicing green vegetables and fruits for health and wellness.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Stacy Fritz again over at Believe Big. Stacy hosts the Food for Thought nutrition webinar series, dedicated to conversations about nutrition and whole-person health for those navigating cancer, and she invited me back to talk about one of the most discussed (and most misunderstood) wellness practices out there: juicing.

We chatted about why juicing isn't a one-size-fits-all answer and how the difference between fruit juice and vegetable juice matters more than most people realize, especially during a cancer journey.

In this powerful episode of the Food for Thought series, Stacy sits down with Heather, a board-certified oncology nutrition consultant and founder of Soil to Soul Nutrition, for a balanced, research-informed conversation about when juicing helps, when it doesn't, and how to make it work for your body specifically.
