10 Wellness Tips from Dr. Robert Graham
A cold and rainy fall evening didn’t stop our customers from coming to listen to Dr. Robert Graham, Co-Founder of FRESH Medicine. We all got cozy with a glass of wine and chop salad to hear from the doctor & chef himself, what we truly prescribe to (and part of what Organic Krush is all about): “food as medicine.”
Dr. Graham flooded us with facts that are truly jaw-dropping, and inspiring for making life changes. Our advice is to start where you are most comfortable, which will look a little different for everyone. There is no singular way to do things, but incorporating a little or a lot of the tips and information below will go a long way for your gut, brain, heart, body & mind!
