Can what we eat really heal us?

In this episode of It’s A Small World!, we explore the complicated, emotional and deeply human relationship between food, health and healing.

From ancient herbal remedies and fasting rituals… to calories, vitamins and modern wellness culture… humans have always searched for answers in what we consume.

We talk about:
the origins of nutrition science
food as fuel vs nourishment
gut health and fasting

emotional eating and comfort food
cancer, fear and conflicting health advice online
why so many medicines originally came from plants
and whether modern life has disconnected us from food in a deeper way

Tanya also reflects on her own experience as a two-time cancer survivor, and the overwhelming world of “anti-cancer” diets, wellness promises and food anxiety that can come with it.

This isn’t an episode about perfect eating or miracle cures.

It’s about the questions.

Because maybe food isn’t magic…but maybe it’s never been “just fuel” either.

Next week’s episode explores placebo, belief and the power of the mind.
