In this episode I hang out with Culinary Health Coach and chef Alanna Sucher. We talk about the current state of the holistic health scene in NYC, wellness culture in social media and using the principles of food combining to simplify modern dining.
Alanna completely completely healed her gut issues using the practice of food combining and now operates a meal delivery service based on those principles. You can find her at combinedbyalanna.com or on Instagram @combinedbyalanna
I later realized we never really walked through the actual practice of food combining. So here is the most straight forward explanation that I send to all of my clients:
The 2 major themes of ideal food combining are:
1) Fruit should be eaten away from other foods and never as a dessert following heavy or cooked food. Although not commonly practiced, fruits will mix with greens like lettuce or spinach, celery and fennel. It’s popular now to make green smoothies by blending greens with fruits.
Any other combination with fruits and other foods causes the fruit to get held up in the stomach with those denser foods. The end result of this is gas, alcohol and acidity. The best time to eat fruit is the first meal of the day and not again until the next day.
2) Proteins and Starches do not mix in the same meal. The digestive secretions for each type are very different and nullify the other when secreted at the same time. Resulting in undigested food traveling through the intestines and a greater demand for enzymes.
Transit time of meals:
It’s important to note that some foods have different transit times through the digestive tract than others. Raw juices and fresh fruits need to move very quickly out of the stomach where denser foods like starches and proteins may require many hours in the stomach. If a faster moving food is held up in the stomach it will eventually ferment into alcohol and gas. For this reason it is best to precede heavy foods with light food.
For example, let’s take apples and almonds. Two excellent foods. Apples move very quickly through the stomach and almonds move much more slowly because they are proteins. If we eat the almonds first then follow with the apples or if we eat them together the apples will be held up in the stomach for many hours. Most likely resulting in a lot of gas. Eating the apples first and waiting 20 minutes allows the apples to pass and the almonds to take their time. Digestion will be more harmonious.
- Fresh fruit and raw vegetable juice always on an empty stomach. Wait at least 10 minutes for juice and 20 – 30 minutes for fruit to leave the stomach before eating.

In this episode I share with you seven of the most valuable self care practices I use to keep my life straight.
1) Hanging: Several times a day I grip a bar and swing freely for 60+ seconds. The deep stretch and lengthening of my spine leaves me feeling taller and pain free. This practice alone has saved me significant time and money on body workers.
2) Raw vegetable juicing: This was the first act of self care I took almost 30 years ago when I bought a Juice Man Juicer after watching a late night infomercial. Although the models have changed the practice remains. On average I drink about 32+ ounces a day. Concentrated nutrition, high alkalinity and superior elimination. It’s truly the original superfood.
3) Intermittent Fasting: I started this practice around 2000-2002. However, in the last 12 months I made a significant and critical change. Instead of skipping breakfast, I now skip dinner. My last meal ends at about 4:30 PM. I aim for a 17 hour fast, but depending on my schedule it can reach about 20 hours. Finishing the last meal early sets up the overnight rest for maximum detoxification and rejuvenation.
4) Prioritizing Sleep: After years of staying up late to edit podcasts, respond to messages, pay bills.. I finally realized that anything I think I gained in efficiency I end up losing in effectiveness the next day. It’s always more productive (and healthy - cleansing doesn’t happen in an exhausted body) to be properly rested.
5) No longer overthinking exercise: So many times my busy day would go off the rails and I would think oh well I don’t have 45 minutes to an hour today. Try again tomorrow… In reality we always have 5 minutes and we actually have at least 15. It’s amazing what can be accomplished in minutes. If you are out of shape or out of practice and simply need to build momentum check out Mike Chang’s Flow Training
6) Cold Immersion: I no longer own a Cryo sauna, but luckily I live in a place where the fall, winter and spring ground water is perfect for cold showers. 3 minutes over the head, face, neck and torso is all it takes to drop inflammation and increase focus and attention.
7) Essential Supplements: Although I do intentionally skip days, my consistent supplements are Vitamin D3, Valasta Astaxanthin and a plant based multi. I take other things, but these are the critical ones.

Is the holistic health community naive and gullible?
Well… sometimes. I’ve certainly been guilty of it.
