Korea’s tea culture is fascinating and rooted in tradition from local ingredients.

I’ve had so much fun trying out the different types and learning about their uses.
In today’s post, I share about a few of my favorite teas that are commonly drank across Korea and today, I’m showing you a breakdown of a few teas that are available at every major convenience store in Korea— from the Seven Eleven to the GS25 and the CU’s.

A day in the life of a nutritionist in Seoul.

I just wrapped up a month of doing Whole30 Diet while living in Seoul, Korea. Here is a walk-through of what some of the past 30 days have looked like while keeping my diet super clean and super simple in a limited kitchen.

Come unpack with me as I walk you through what I grabbed at one of the largest, traditional markets here in Seoul!

Gyeondong Market is one of the largest herbal medicine and ginseng market here in South Korea. It has over 1,000 shops and clinics within it and the market supplies 70% of herbal medicinals across the country. Pretty huge!

The smell of ginseng creeps in as you get off the subway and I really love the earthy and distinct smell of the herbs. It will forever remind me of this chunk of my life in Korea and I’m excited to share with you a bit about how I’ve been using them!

I decided to take on the Whole 30 Diet with some co-workers for a little dietary reset... because who doesn't need one sometimes?

The Whole30 Diet removes things like soy, grains, legumes, refined + natural sugars (like honey, maple syrup, etc), dairy, alcohol, carrageenan, MSG, sulfites, and other processed type foods. It embraces a very paleo style, whole-foods diet of veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, eggs and animal proteins.
