In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Neka Pasquale, founder of Urban Remedy, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and longtime advocate for food as medicine, to discuss holistic health, organic living, entrepreneurship, and the everyday habits that support long term wellness.Neka shares how her journey began through studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and how that foundation shaped both her personal health philosophy and the creation of Urban Remedy. We talk about viewing the body as an interconnected system, why every food carries unique healing properties, and how living in alignment with natural rhythms can have a profound impact on overall well being.We also dive into the growing conversation around ultra processed foods, glyphosate, GMOs, inflammation, and metabolic health. Neka explains why choosing organic foods matters, what consumers should know about food quality, and how modern lifestyles have moved many people away from the foundational habits that support health.We discuss practical wellness habits including hydration, movement, sleep, stress management, seasonal eating, and creating sustainable routines that work in real life. Neka shares her perspective on avoiding extremes and instead focusing on simple daily practices that help the body function at its best.On the business side, Neka opens up about building Urban Remedy from a private acupuncture practice into a nationally recognized wellness brand carried in Whole Foods and healthcare systems across the country.
