Get Intimate with Oliver Wong

Get Intimate: Edith Yang

Episode Summary

Edith Yang is a registered dietitian, a published cookbook author, and the founder of Healthy Mission Dietitian. As a food enthusiast and a nutrition expert, Edith talks about how a registered dietitian, instead of just providing nutrition advice, goes to great lengths to help clients cultivate a long-lasting healthy lifestyle. Edith and Oliver zestfully bond over braised pork rice–a type of popular household Taiwanese cuisine, and they also talk about body image, protein powder, broccoli, and what it's like for her to be a working mom of two kids. After working with patients with chronic kidney disease who have special diet needs, Edith curates 75 simple recipes in her Renal Diet Cookbook for Beginners as a patient-specific diet guide. Edith also explains the method of using LEAP therapy (stands for Lifestyle, Eating, And Performance.) to create an individualized eating plan based on the MRT (Mediator Release Testing) food sensitivity test. Her company, Healthy Mission Dietitian, provides customized nutrition consultation, and can even accompany you to your local grocery store to help you pick up the right ingredients for your diet! Foodies, you are in for a treat!
