JHP04: Detoxing The Home, Mindful Parenting & Being Biz Rock Stars with Meghan & Josh

In today’s episode, we interviewed our dear friends Meghan Telpner and Josh Gitalis. I met these two in nutrition school over a decade ago.

It’s pretty amazing to look back over the years and see how we’ve all grown up! They both have super successful nutrition businesses - Meghan being an author of two books Undiet and the Undiet Cookbook, a nutritionist and founder of the Academy of Culinary Nutrition. And Josh Gitalis, is a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner who runs a Toronto-based practice with a worldwide client base (and if you want to see Josh as a client, you better book now because this guy is busy!). He also has a wide range of online courses for both health enthusiasts and practitioners. 

Our chat with them was heartwarming, informative and funny! We talk about everything from hug therapy to the 2 most important things to switch over to make your home a healthy oasis. Plus, we discuss Josh's hair and Finn (their adorable almost-2 year old). 

And news flash: They are launching a podcast in June called Today is the Day!
