Healthy communities grow when we learn from each other. 💚🌱

We’re grateful for places like 125 LIVE that bring people together and create opportunities to share practical ways to live healthier.

Mei had the opportunity to share recipes, nutritional guidance, and the principles of lifestyle medicine with an active community that continues to prioritize movement, connection, and lifelong wellness. 🥗❤️

Thank you, 125 LIVE, for welcoming us and helping make conversations about better health accessible to our community!

Show 125 LIVE some love in the comments! 👏💚

Food as Medicine. Art as Connection. 💚🎨🌱

When food and art come together, they create a special moment to be present and cherish.

For people living with dementia, artwork may awaken a memory, while a familiar flavor, aroma, or texture may bring back comfort and joy.

Grateful to bring Food as Medicine to the Rochester Art Center’s SPARK! program and to the Post Bulletin for sharing this meaningful story.

Sometimes wellness is simply about bringing connection and joy to the present moment.

The Rochester Art Center is one of the latest venues for the national SPARK! program for people with memory loss and their caregivers.

Store bought granola just can’t compete with this. 😏🥣

Mei is back in the kitchen with her homemade granola recipe, and once you see how it comes together, that bag from the grocery store might have some competition. 😂

Crunchy, homemade, and made with ingredients you actually get to choose. 🌱💚 That is one of the best parts about cooking at home. You know exactly what is going into your food.

Be honest… are you choosing homemade or store bought granola? 👇

What does lifestyle medicine look like in the Navajo community?

Hózhó - a sacred way of living focused on balance, harmony, beauty, and peace

Honor the ancient wisdom, adopt the culturally relevant plant-based, whole-foods, connect among generations, walking in beauty.

We learned more than what we shared. The beautiful Diné culture brings people together. My gratitude for the opportunity to learn culture from their stories.

The seeds of friendship will be planted in the FarmacyRx Community Garden next year 😉.

Food is Medicine. Community is Medicine. 🌱

What an honor to be part of the Diné Bich’iiya’ Nutrition Summit in the Navajo Nation!

Our heartfelt thanks to former President Jonathan Nez and First Lady Phefelia Nez for their leadership and warm welcome, and to everyone who came together to make this summit meaningful.

We were grateful to share and learn alongside Andrew and Anna from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine PCRM, Dr. J and Mei from Rochester Clinic and Lotus Health Foundation, Chef Lois and Chef Walter, the Navajo Nation Diabetes Prevention Program team, and many wonderful attendees and community partners.

We came to share Lifestyle Medicine and Food is Medicine, and returned home inspired by the wisdom, traditions, and strength of the Diné community.

Together, we learn and grow healthier. Ahéhee’! ❤️

The chopping, prepping, mixing, and teamwork behind every meal tells its own story.

At Ronald McDonald House, these moments are about more than preparing food. They are about people coming together, giving their time, and creating something nourishing for children and families who could use a little extra care. ❤️

Good food brings people together. Serving it with purpose makes it even better. 💚

A little behind the scenes of bringing health education to life. 🎥🌿

Mei and Dr. Lai joined 125 LIVE to share practical conversations around nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and the everyday choices that can support better health.

There is always a lot happening behind the camera too. Lights, microphones, plenty of preparation, and a shared passion for helping people live healthier lives. 💚

Thank you to 125 LIVE for continuing to provide a space for education, connection, and community!

Your tea might not need all the extras. 🍵🍋

Mei is keeping this one simple: black tea, no added sugar, no additives, and a fresh squeeze of lemon or lime.

Black tea contains naturally occurring plant compounds, and choosing it without added sugar can be a simple way to enjoy more flavor without turning your drink into a sugar bomb.

Sometimes healthy choices really can be this simple. 💚

Are you squeezing lemon 🍋 or lime 🍈 into yours?
