46. Creating a Sustainable and Colorful Kitchen with Weezie Davenport

Today’s guest is Weezie Davenport, a holistic health coach, business owner, a personal friend, and true believer in what it means to eat real, whole colorful foods while supporting local and one’s community through sustainable practices.

Professionally trained as an elementary educator, she wed her passion for wellness education and became a certified health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

That experience made it abundantly clear that while many people want to eat healthy and support local farmers, they don’t always enjoy cooking, much less have the time for it. At the prompting of a few such clients, she began planning and creating healthy, nutrient dense meals for others and her meal delivery service Weezie’s Colorful Kitchen was born.

Today, she is supporting the local community and improving the health of others through nutritious and delicious meals. She is promoting a cleaner environment through sustainable practices such as reusable containers and composting, and she is helping to encourage real, whole food nutrition by painting a colorful plate for others with thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

In our conversation we discuss

• How she became very immersed in the nutrition world when her family became the owners of her city’s number one local natural market, and how that shaped her nutritional philosophy and career
• Her path from getting certified as a holistic health coach to starting her own meal delivery service, the foods she offers, the ingredients she incorporates, and how she finds her recipe inspiration
• The difference between local food, and those more conventional or factory farmed options, and why the former is so much better for you.
• Why sustainability, eating seasonally, and supporting local farmers are all so important, and what you can do today to adopt healthier practices
• Her tips for healthy meal planning, grocery shopping, prep, and feeding your family
