Ep 69: Food, Spirituality, and Self-Care w/ Chef Pasquale Martinelli
In this episode, I sit down with Chef Pasquale Martinelli, founder of Alloro Private Dining, to explore his self-care journey as a chef. Pasquale shares a defining moment when he no longer recognized himself, leading him to reexamine his relationship with food—both its nutritional content and its spiritual significance.
We dive into how Pasquale found a way to maintain the pleasure of his culinary creations while prioritizing whole-food, plant-based ingredients for both his personal well-being and his clients. He discusses how shifting towards a plant-forward diet improved his energy, sleep, and sense of connection, making him feel more generous and grounded.
We also break down the differences between vegan, plant-based, and plant-forward diets, and how small changes can have a significant impact on overall health. Pasquale introduces the concept of primary and secondary foods, highlighting the emotional nourishment we receive off the plate and the physical nourishment on it.
Join us for this enlightening conversation about the deeper connection between food, wellness, and self-care.
