She wrote Eating from Our Roots: 80+ Healthy Home-Cooked Favorites from Cultures Around the World, published by goop Press last year. She is co- host of Well, Now Slate's new wellness podcast series. Maya has also been named Salad and Go's first-ever salad nutrition officer. "I've learned from my patients that having access to affordable, nourishing, tasty food not only feeds them in the moment, but also creates sustainable routines that are supportive of managing and reducing the risk of developing chronic conditions or other health challenges," says Ms. Feller. "I respect Salad and Go's bold work to address issues of access in our food system. Together we are breaking down the barriers and saying people shouldn't have to compromise on delicious, nutritious food that's also convenient and affordable."
