Episode 2: “Breaking down how to read food labels, what ingredients to
avoid, and how to make better choices without being overwhelmed.”
Guest: Angela Manzitto, PA (Physician Assistant)
Angela Manzitto, PA, has over 20 years of experience in health care. After
many years in family practice, she became passionate about preventive medicine. She
grew frustrated with the traditional Western model that focuses on treating symptoms with
medications rather than addressing the root cause of illness. She believes true health begins
with what we put into our bodies, and that healing requires a multifaceted approach—one
that incorporates diet, exercise, mindset, and the powerful principles of the law of
attraction. Her mission is to empower people to live vibrant, healthy lives, free from disease, and to
experience every day to the fullest. She believes everyone deserves to feel good, thrive, and
enjoy a long life of great quality.
