You’ll find me exercising at... Squash on Fire—playing with my friend Val orparticipating in the Sunday morning round-robins.

Callaloo is... the new kale. It has more fiber and iron.

My go-to superfood is... cabbage. It tastes good raw or cooked.

The last wellness topic I Googled was... tryptophan levels and gut bacteria—researching the association between diet and mood disorders for my talk at Aspen

Brain Lab this summer.

My dream wellness retreat is... a 10-mile morning hike, outdoor yoga [and] a soakin a bathtub full of microbe-rich mud under a tree canopy followed by lots of spicy

vegetarian Indian food.

The trend I wish would go away is... the ketogenic diet. It’s terrible for themicrobiome.

When it comes to living well, DC’s denizens need to... get outside more! We livein one of the most beautiful cities with parks, woods and green spaces, but people

spend so much time inside.
