How to Make Salt Part of a Healthy Diet

Can salt be part of a healthy diet? It’s a great question and one I explore in today’s vodcast where I chat about how we may want to rethink the war on salt.

These conversational vodcasts are available to the Kitchen Pioneers who have joined my YouTube membership community—The Traditional Foods Kitchen Academy.

Join me in today’s vodcast and learn more.
