Think fruits and vegetables are just “good for you”? Think again. They might be the most powerful disease-prevention tool you have.

In this episode of the Restorative Longevity Podcast, Chris McKee, nutritionist at Achieve Integrative Health, breaks down the life-saving power of phytonutrients, fiber, and color-coded plant foods. She’ll show you why 9–13 servings a day isn’t just doable—it’s essential for gut health, cognitive function, hormone balance, and disease reversal.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

🔹 Why colorful foods = antioxidant powerhouses

🔹 How fiber supports blood sugar, cholesterol, satiety, and cancer prevention

🔹 The gut-brain connection: serotonin, dopamine, and immunity

🔹 How to portion servings—and sneak more into your day

🔹 Grocery tips and strategies to avoid produce waste

🔹 Why food is information, not just calories

📣 Key Takeaway: Food is medicine. When you eat strategically—by color, by variety, and by serving size—you feed your brain, protect your heart, support your liver, and fuel your microbiome.
