Going Beyond Nutrition to Make Healthy Eating Choices | Shawn Stevenson

**Dr. Gabrielle Lyon** (0:02)
Welcome to the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent conversation.
What's up, friends? In today's episode of the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I sit down with someone who has inspired me personally, Shawn Stevenson. We have a very lively discussion about food, food relationships, why eating with people you love can improve your health, specific foods that are clinically proven to improve your metabolic health, brain health, and even enhance your sleep quality. Again, we pick individual foods that have very interesting nutritional benefits. We talk about science-backed ways to make meals with friends and family more consistent and rewarding.
I love this conversation with Shawn. He is a bestselling author and creator of The Model Health Show, which is featured as the number one health podcast in the US with millions of listener downloads each year. What makes Shawn so unique is he's an avid distiller of scientific information and he does it in a very transparent way to bring you the best of the best information. This episode was so interesting to me and something that I can take with me and implement immediately with my family. He did a degree at the University of Missouri, St. Louis in Nutritional Sciences. He studied business, biology, went on to be the founder of Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, a company that provides wellness services for individuals and organizations worldwide.
Shawn Stevenson is a force of inspiration and goodness in the world. Now, without further ado, let's get right to the content.

Shawn Stevenson, I am so excited to be able to sit down with you. You don't actually know this, but there are only a very handful of people that have had such a massive impact on me personally throughout this journey, throughout the podcast, especially my show. You are one of the big inspirations. And I don't think that you actually know that, do you?

**Shawn Stevenson** (5:39)
Not in particular. I mean, of course I'm happy to hear that, but to impact somebody like yourself is really special.

**Dr. Gabrielle Lyon** (5:45)
So I'm gonna tell you why. And there's two really big things that I've learned from you. Number one, never be afraid to share your voice and the world needs to hear unapologetically what you have to say.
Not only have I heard that from you, but I have witnessed you do it time and time again. And that has been so impactful for me personally, because believe it or not, I was very reluctant to start this podcast, which has done very well and also very reluctant to be on social media and do the kind of outreach that is necessary to change the world. And you do that. And the other thing that really struck me about you, and I've known you for a couple of years now, is your giving nature and your intention behind what you do. So, not to embarrass you, but those things really struck me and in a very meaningful way. So, thank you for sitting down with me.
