In today's episode, Sarica and I get a chance to swap ideas based on our mutual love for Chinese Medicine, including how the foods we eat impact our life experience. Sarica shares her thoughts on the lost art of traditional food preparation and why it's so important. We discuss different types of foods as well as preparation methods such as soaking and fermentation.
