Clean Eating Academy: Change Your Relationship with Food
Clean eating is not a diet; it's a way of eating.

When you make the conscious decision to start eating in this way, you must start to think about what you put into your body and be more mindful of the choices you make. 

Chef James Smith has over 25 years of of culinary, academic and leadership experience in the Hospitality and Culinary Arts industry and is the creator of the Clean Eating Academy.

The Academy's mission is to change your relationship with food in the way you shop, cook and eat; eschewing processed, packaged convenience foods laden with artificial additives in favor of real, whole foods that are as close to the source of production as possible, so you can live a better, longer life.

Listen is as Chef James joins host Lisa Davis to explain the basis of the Academy, as well as specifics of the seven-course program.
