Nutrition Unscripted

Diet culture says that thin is healthy, that you need some pill or program to maintain your weight, and that your worth is based on how you look. I call absolute BS on all of it. It's time we change the tune and silence the nonsense that diet culture plagues us with across the board. On today's podcast, I'm talking about how to move away from the media-driven madness of diet culture and into truly nourished, body-loving living, free from the noise.

Learning how to pivot in life means allowing yourself to maneuver toward change and/or away from something that is not serving. It involves taking steps that are often uncomfortable, but being willing to sit in the discomfort in order to weed out what needs to change. Whether it's a job, relationship, diet, living situation, or mindset that needs to shift, it has to start with giving yourself permission to take a closer look and a willingness to pivot toward something different.

We live in a broken world: none of us are immune to the roller coaster ups and downs of life. We all experience waves of pain, sadness, heartache, loneliness, sorrow.
