This week, I’m joined by my boo Alé, who’s one of the healthiest people I know (and yes, I’ve run his lab tests to prove it!). We chat about his mindset around health, which we trace all the way back to his childhood living on the Mediterranean coast in Tunisia. We discuss the importance of investing in our health, instilling a love for nutritious food in our kids, and the impact of choosing high-quality ingredients. Alé shares his tips for tuning into your body’s needs when it comes to both nutrition and exercise – which he is so good at doing. This episode is full of valuable insights, lots of laughs, and an in-depth look at Alé’s intense love for figs. I hope it inspires you to embrace a simpler, more mindful approach to living a healthy life.
