In this It’s Elemental podcast episode, Dr. Joseph Toscano, the Lab’s Site Occupational Medical Director, explores how what we eat affects our energy, focus, and ability to handle stress and change. Drawing from research on longevity and everyday wellness, Dr. Toscano shares practical, no-fuss strategies – from adding more fiber and whole foods to your diet, to making small, consistent swaps at the grocery store. He offers tips for busy schedules, explains the “vicious cycle” between stress and poor eating habits, and reminds us that healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up treats entirely. Learn how simple choices can build resilience and help you feel your best.
