Thinking about making a lasting lifestyle change - but not sure where to begin? Welcome to the Podcast, Eat Better Food Today, where we believe that health and longevity begins with the food we eat. I'm Ken Counihan, and I recently had a serious health scare, which led me to explore, research, and break down what it is we are actually eating, and how to make a change, affordably - for good! I'm not a doctor but I have been reading and practicing healthier living with my wife and the help of the Cleveland Clinic for over a decade. This podcast will be an engaging and empowering vehicle to Inspire, Educate and Enable folks to Live a Healthier Life. We'll sit down with chefs, farmers, industry insiders, medical professionals, businesses, and patients, who will share their stories and add their insight into the most fundamental of health goals - to Eat Better Food Today! A large percent of the profits from this Podcast will be put towards erasing food insecurity by bringing heathy food into underserved urban areas, initially focused on the poorest suburb in America, East Cleveland in Ohio. So join me on this journey, where we'll explore every aspect of living better, living longer, through food, exercise, sleep, community, and purpose. Let's learn together how to begin to Eat Better Food Today! Follow us now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our Eat Better Food Today website or wherever you enjoy your shows. Gratefully yours, Ken. This Podcast is a production of Sante Strategies, LLC. Sante translated is-Health Means Everything. This is the company I have started to begin this health and longevity journey, focused on food.

    Practical Daily Habits. Detroit Red Wings. Dietary Nitrates. Richard Perry.
    Sep 27 2026

    Ep 113: On this episode we are grateful to have Richard Perry. Richard is an Entrepreneur, chef, publisher, and author helping people improve health, energy, longevity, and a positive mindset through practical daily habits and the power of mind, body, and action. Richard's "Good Home Cookbook" was named one of Food and Wine Magazine's Best Cookbooks.

    At the Santé Foundation, which operates the Bishop Pilla Family Center, we know that eating better is not always as simple as making a better choice. For many people, convenience, price, transportation, and what is available nearby matter.

  • The Simple Food Rule that Impacts Mental Health and Longevity. Dr Shawn Talbott.

    The Simple Food Rule that Impacts Mental Health and Longevity. Dr Shawn Talbott.
    Aug 20 2026
    Ep 111: On this episode we are grateful to have Dr Shawn Talbott. Shawn has served as a nutrition consultant and educator for elite-level athletes in a variety of sports including professional triathletes, NBA basketball, US Ski Team, US Track & Field, and the US Olympic Training Centers. Shawn has a BS in Sports Medicine, MS in Exercise Science and a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry.

Look for information on Shawn Talbott linkedin.com/in/doctalbott Shawn's Documentary "Killer at Large" – the 20 Minute Educational version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBVm3fWPXCY What's In Season https://www.seasonalfoodguide.org/ Cleveland Kitchen https://www.clevelandkitchen.com/ Donate to Support our Center in East Cleveland https://www.thesantefoundation.org Summary Dr Shawn Talbott talks about the practical links between food, mental health, sleep, exercise, and long-term performance. The conversation focuses on simple, sustainable changes that improve both biochemistry and daily life. Shawn also discusses processed food, GLP-1 medications, supplement quality, and why starting by adding healthy foods is often more effective than trying to cut foods out of your diet. Key Topics Shawn explains his core idea that biochemistry drives behavior, meaning food, sleep, and movement change how people feel, think, and act.The simplest nutrition rule: eat less processed food and more whole food, rather than getting lost in diet wars.Shawn breaks down processed versus whole foods using practical examples like plain Greek yogurt, berries, carrots, and granola with low added sugar.He emphasizes an 80-20 approach, where most meals are healthy while flexible choices still fit in without guilt.Dr Talbott compares the standard American diet with Mediterranean-style eating and cites research showing diet changes can reduce or even reverse depression.He discusses the importance of local and regional foods, especially for communities with limited access to fresh produce and other whole foods.His film Killer at Large is a public-health project on obesity, food policy, food deserts, and the role of processed-food marketing.GLP-1s and other medications: Shawn says they can be useful tools, but he strongly favors pairing them with lifestyle changes and an exit plan.Supplement quality: Shawn warns that the market is full of low-quality products and recommends scientifically validated formulas from trusted health professionals.Sleep is framed as equally important to diet and exercise, with too little sleep driving higher cortisol, worse food choices, more cravings, and lower motivation.Exercise is presented as daily physical activity, not just gym workouts, with 150 minutes per week and post-meal walks highlighted as especially effective.Dr Talbott defines everyday excellence as showing up well in ordinary life, not just sports, and using nutrition and habits to improve work, family, and stress resilience.The episode closes with a practical strategy for starting healthier habits.
