Podcasts about Food Rules

“Once food noise quiets down, it doesn't just change the way we eat. It changes the way we live.”Food struggles don't always show up as we may expect. They can sneak up on us, disguised as discipline, willpower, or our latest attempt at “being good.” But in reality, those all-consuming thoughts about what, when, and how much we eat are draining. They're like an app running in the background, sapping our energy and joy each day. In this episode, I sit down with Kim, a past client who spent decades tangled in food noise, emotional eating, and hidden food rules she didn't realize existed.Kim opens up about the reality of secret eating, binge cycles, and the mental toll of battling cravings. Her story is vulnerable, honest, and incredibly relatable. Kim shares what it was like to numb out around food, the shift from excitement to guilt after eating, and how food secretly dictated her self-care, identity, and social life. But things changed, and Kim's journey will show you how healing your relationship with food is not only possible, but transformative.Together, we explore how intuitive eating moved Kim away from relying on willpower and food rules, toward genuine self-compassion, body reconnection, and emotional growth. Whether you're used to white knuckling through cravings or hiding evidence of what you ate, Kim's personal wins, tips, and breakthroughs will give you a clearer lens for spotting sneaky food rules and freeing up mental space so that you can enjoy food on your terms.What You'll Learn:How to spot sneaky food rules and food noise draining your mental energyPractical ways to honor fullness without relying on willpowerWhy emotional eating isn't about discipline—and how dieting makes it harderThe power of self-compassion and how it decreases shame and food guiltA simple plan for coping with emotions that doesn't hinge on food rulesHow healing your relationship with food can expand self-care, compassion, and everyday joyKim's story is full of hope, real-life strategies, and a reminder that change is possible - even after years of struggle. I'm so grateful to Kim for sharing her journey, and I know her insights will help you quiet your own food noise and build a peaceful relationship with food.If you've ever thought, “Why is it so hard to stop eating when I'm full?” - you're not alone. And spoiler alert: it's not about willpower or control. It goes so much deeper than that.

Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with Dr. Cate Shanahan, family physician, nutrition consultant, and author of Deep Nutrition and Dark Calories, to discuss her case against industrial seed oils, how they may influence metabolic and mental health, and why she believes they can intensify sugar cravings and insulin resistance. We explore mechanisms she proposes (oxidation, mitochondrial stress), the “Hateful Eight” oils, and practical swaps that listeners can try if they choose to reduce seed oils. This episode presents a viewpoint that's debated in nutrition science; we encourage critical thinking, self-experimentation within a safe plan, and consultation with your care team. What we cover Seed oils vs. sugar: Why Dr. Shanahan argues seed oils may drive sugar cravings and insulin resistance. Oxidation & mitochondria: Her biochemical rationale for how highly unsaturated oils can oxidize and affect cell energy. The “Hateful Eight”: Corn, canola, cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, grapeseed—why she cautions against them. Historical context: Marketing, refinement, and how these oils entered the food supply. Mental health & cravings: Proposed links between oxidized fats, energy instability, mood, and appetite signals. Practical swaps: Unrefined olive, avocado, coconut, butter/ghee; flavor-forward nut/seed oils used unheated; reading labels and cooking at home. Diet nuance: Why some low-carb or plant-forward eaters thrive when minimizing seed oils; where refined proteins fit. Key takeaways If you experiment with reducing industrial seed oils, pair it with whole-food carbs and adequate protein to support energy stability. Favor unrefined, flavor-forward oils (e.g., extra-virgin olive oil) and avoid reheating/frying oils repeatedly. Improvements people report first: steadier energy, fewer GI symptoms, fewer cravings—but your mileage may vary. This topic is scientifically contested; treat it as a hypothesis to test safely, not a moral rule. About Dr. Cate Dr. Cate Shanahan is a board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience reversing disease at its root by avoiding the big three toxic ingredients. She has spent decades translating the warnings of toxicologists about the harms of vegetable oils and sharing those insights here on DrCate.com, with patients, podcast hosts, and in her NY Times bestselling books, including The FatBurn Fix, Deep Nutrition, and Food Rules.  Her passion is helping people feel their best. After getting her BS in biology from Rutgers University, she trained in biochemistry and genetics at Cornell University's graduate school before attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She practiced in Hawaii for ten years where she studied ethnobotany and her healthiest patient's culinary habits. She combined all these scientific fields to write Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. Together with Dr. Tim DiFrancesco and NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and helped forge a partnership between Whole Foods Market and numerous NBA teams. Her insights on the role of seed oils in human disease have been incorporated into Paleo, primal, low-carb, and keto practices.   In May of 2018, she began as Director of Metabolic Health at ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, a progressive, family-run company focused on saving money while improving health.  She's also the Medical & Scientific Advisor at CB Supplements, overseeing their premium-grade multi-collagen protein, and for Beliv, a forward-thinking Latin American beverage company.

Everyone wants results, but few people are empowered with tools to build the habits that get them there.Kylie's story is one I think a lot of people will see themselves in. She tracked every calorie, followed every diet, nailed her cardio, and still found herself stuck in the same loop—losing weight, gaining it back, feeling guilty, starting over.In this conversation, we chat about what helped Kylie move past the yo-yo cycle of tracking, restricting, and starting over. We also unpacked the mindset shifts that allowed her to shed the guilt and make confident “adult” choices in everyday life and in the gym. Having the permission to live, enjoy the cookie, and know she was still moving forward is what finally set her free.If that's something you've been struggling to find, tune into this episode. It's a reminder that progress isn't about perfection, it's about learning to trust yourself again.Episode Timeline: 0:18 – Why Kylie reached out for coaching1:29 – Post-COVID struggles and weight gain2:13 – Tracking food and early habits5:46 – First impressions of the coaching program6:46 – Shifting from tracking to building tools10:12 – Viewing tracking as liberation, not control11:34 – Learning adult ownership and flexibility14:56 – Falling in love with the gym18:46 – 60 pounds lost and sustained for good21:48 – How her mindset and body transformed22:38 – How health changed her family dynamic25:57 – Shared values and partnership in health27:56 – What would've happened without coaching30:16 – Learning to live in the gray31:31 – Integration as a personal operating system32:15 – Why investing in yourself is non-negotiable34:39 – Closing gratitude and final reflectionsLinks & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoaching Book Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/

I've been reflecting recently on how much I talk here about the reasons food behaviors like binge eating have nothing to do with the food, but the state you're eating the food in. As I've explored here many times, there are so many somatic, trauma, and nervous system layers to your food patterns. But part of food recovery has to include explorations around food itself. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: How food can be a role model for the felt sense of safetyWhy eating is a somatic practice What to look out for when using food as a safety cue How to know when you're ready for this kind of somatic practice You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-food-choices-can-remind-your-body-how-to-feel-safeThis current Somatic Eating® Program class is already filling up! In the Somatic Eating® Program:Receive weekly live classes for 3 months3 Somatic Eating® Community Meals to practice what you're learningDiscover a somatic, trauma, nervous system, and nutritional approach to food behaviors like binge eating, chronic emotional eating, yo yo dieting, restriction, and body image concernsIncrease your understanding of your body through my Safety-Satiety Sequence to create a safe, secure, and satiated relationship with foodIf you can't attend the live classes, all calls are recorded to watch the replay and you can reach out between classes in a group space for additional support.There are 12 days left to sign up and I would love to get to connect with you for the next 3 months exploring your food patterns together. Sign up here: https://www.somaticeating.com/I hope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Claire has been a leading voice in health and nutrition for nearly two decades, helping thousands of people rethink their relationship with food, movement, and self-care. In her latest book, she brings together the science of behaviour change with the lived reality of growing up in a culture steeped in dieting, food rules, and body image pressures.

We talk about how our early environment shapes food beliefs, the role of habits and the food environment, and why lasting change often comes down to self-belief as much as knowledge.Claire Turnbull is a registered nutritionist, published author, and holistic wellness expert who founded New Zealand-based Mission Nutrition and findWellness. With a BSc in Dietetics, a diploma in Positive Psychology, and over 20 years of experience, she provides expertise in nutrition, mental health, and healthy lifestyle habits for individuals and businesses.

Happy Satiated Saturday! I find it fascinating to explore the layers and layers of connections between trauma and food behaviors. Trauma alters the way you experience bodily sensations. A racing heart can feel like panic rather than excitement. An empty stomach might trigger fear rather than curiosity about food. Over time, the body learns to suppress or disconnect from these cues in an attempt to stay safe. ​Body detachment provided you​ with short term safety, but affected your ability to know how you feel, to understand if you're hungry or full, or to know what you need and when.​ This lowered your interoception or ability to sense and interpret your internal signals in your body. In this week's episode, I chat about: Interoceptive confusionHow low interoception effects food behaviorsTrauma and interoception connectionInteroception practices you can start todayYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-trauma-alters-your-sense-of-self-and-eating-habitsI also provide some updates at the end of this episode so be sure to listen to the end! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxNewsletter Signup: https://www.stephaniemara.com/subscribeReclaim Your Body Image Workshop: https://satiated.mykajabi.com/offers/EkFBjX2QMove Through Binge Urges Workshop: https://satiated.mykajabi.com/offers/nRo7qyFd/checkoutSomatic Eating® Program Waitlist: https://www.somaticeating.com/Free Connect Call to work 1:1: https://www.stephaniemara.com/lets-chatSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Please Follow us on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠! In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso discuss the significance of preserving Italian recipes and the consequences of not adhering to culinary traditions. Pizza Napolitana and the AVPN: The hosts introduce the Associazione Verace Pizza Napolitana (AVPN), an organization dedicated to preserving the authentic technique of pizza making in Naples. They discuss the specific requirements for cooking certified pizzas, including dough preparation, cooking time, and ingredients. The AVPN employs “pizza agents” to ensure compliance with standards, risking delisting for non-compliant pizzerias. Cacio e Pepe Controversy: A British website, UK Good Food, published a recipe for Cacio e Pepe with incorrect ingredients, sparking outrage among Italians. The recipe included butter and parmigiano, deviating from the traditional ingredients of pasta, pepper and pecorino The President of Italy's Restaurant Association sent a letter to UK Good Food, leading to a comical turn of events, but finally an acknowledgement of the correct recipe. Italian Pride in Traditional Recipes: Cuisine bonds Italians to each other, with recipes handed down by generations. Italians take deep pleasure in preparing their meals slowly and with the best ingredients possible. They don't just consume a meal, they linger and enjoy it, and talk about it! Italy's efforts to respect and protect specific foods and recipes through organizations like the DOP are admirable Link to Pizza Police Site: Here is link to the AVPN website which explains the school and lists the certified pizzerias around the world. https://www.pizzanapoletana.org

Happy Satiated Saturday! After years and years of navigating food cravings, it was the field of somatics that started to shift my perception of them. I used to think of cravings as something I had to do battle with and couldn't listen to until I realized that I was defining listening to cravings as abiding by them and that listening to my craving meant I needed to eat the food some part of me was telling me to eat. I now experience and teach that cravings are bodily messengers. Cravings are meant to be listened to by bringing in curiosity about what the body might be trying to relay through having you want to eat a particular food. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Jenn Trepeck, Certified Health & Nutrition Coach, about: Decoding cravingsThe nutritional and blood sugar aspects to cravingsThe role of guilt in cravingsPractical strategies to navigating your food cravingsYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: www.stephaniemara.com/blog/understanding-the-science-behind-food-cravingsWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Jenn:Website: https://asaladwithasideoffries.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/salad-with-a-side-of-fries-nutrition-wellness-weight-loss/id1476096152Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenntrepeck/?hl=enSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Happy Satiated Saturday! Anyone else notice how much noise there has been recently about carbohydrates and protein? Protein has to be in everything. I literally just got an email this morning from a company that is now making protein granola.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Labels like stress eating and emotional eating need some updating. By tacking on the words stress or emotional to eating, it gives the perception that the "problem" is stress or emotions, and if you can fix being a stressed person or person who feels (an impossible task), THEN the food behavior might go away. Stress and emotions are a part of life. Because of this, the practice can be to see the presence of stress or any emotion as body communication. It is telling you how it is processing your external and internal environments. Your body doesn't need help getting rid of the stress or the emotion. These things are present to get your attention that your body needs your support.

We grew up with food being labeled “good” or “bad.” With sweets treated like gold and guilt baked into every bite. With pressure to finish our plates and shame if we didn't. We're breaking that cycle. In this episode, we're sharing 3 powerful ways we're helping our kids build a healthy, shame-free relationship with food and their bodies:Why we don't hype up sweets (no food gets put on a pedestal)Why we never force bites or make them earn dessertWhy we don't call any food “bad,” not even packaged snacksThis isn't about raising perfect eaters. It's about raising kids who trust their bodies, enjoy food, and feel good around the table—for life.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Happy Satiated Saturday! How do you feel about eating around others?I remember in my years of struggling with food how scary it would feel to eat with others. There was a constant inner dialogue about eating the "right" things in the "right" amount. I would find myself consistently undereating when going out and then overeating or binge eating when I would get home, as I felt starving and dysregulated. Eating around other people can be filled with anxiety, overwhelm, and fear, where you may find yourself engaging in food behaviors afterward. If you grew up constantly criticized for your food choices, how much you ate, and your appearance, it can feel terrifying to eat around others.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE)Why binge eating can increase after eating with others Somatic practices to try before, during, and after eating with othersYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/terrifying-to-eat-with-friends-and-familyWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

 274: “I gradually started adding back in fear foods. It wasn't like I ate carbs at every meal because that was the thing I was scared of. I would add in like carrots, which is crazy to say! I was scared of carrots. So I would add in carrots at lunch or half a sweet potato at dinner or half a slice of bread. And I would see, oh the world didn't end. That actually satisfied me longer. I'm happier." - Jess SuchanEver feel like eating a buttery, flakey croissant means you've committed a crime and could go straight to jail?

Happy Satiated Saturday! When you're feeling threatened in your body, hunger and fullness cues can feel wonky and also frightening. Hunger can come out of nowhere and remind you how little control you may feel in your life right now. The felt sense of hunger can be similar to past experiences you've had that left you feeling unsafe. The empty feeling may remind you of being abandoned as a child and the hurt and pain of not feeling held the way you needed to be. If you ignore hunger, you can also ignore the pain that hunger reminds you of. In this week's episode, I chat about: The somatic and cognitive influences on hungerHow the felt sense of hunger gets paired with danger Somatic practices to update your body's hunger story You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-youre-afraid-of-feeling-hungryIf you're looking for support to update your body's story of hunger, come join the Somatic Eating® Program.

If you've ever swung from strict food rules to “I'll just eat whatever I want”—you're not alone.I've been there too.At one point, I let go of all restrictions. No tracking, no rules, just full permission. And while that season helped me heal some of my all-or-nothing thinking, it didn't leave me feeling my best physically.So in this episode, we're talking about:

Happy Satiated Saturday! What if diet culture wasn't actually the "problem"? Focusing on diet culture can become a distraction. It keeps the conversation circling around the same point—being controlled around our food choices is the problem, and we need to regain our experience of choice with food. Yet, when all of our attention stays on food, we miss out on exploring the deeper layers of who we are, beyond what we eat. Staying locked in a battle with diet culture can distract us from stepping into our power. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with my dear friend and colleague, Abbie Attwood, Anti-diet Nutritionist, about: Understanding health and nutrition messagingThe complexity of trusting ourselves and scienceChallenging the notion of control over healthDistractions from systemic issues in healthThe impact of socioeconomic factors on food choicesEnhancing your critical thinking skills in nutrition and mediaYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/society-shapes-dieting-behaviors Doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!!

In this episode of Fitness & Sushi, I'm sharing the 10 most overlooked signs that your relationship with food might be more toxic than you realize—and why it's not your fault. These symptoms are so normalized in diet culture that you've probably mistaken them for personality flaws. Let's shine a light on what's actually going on. In this episode – “Top 10 Signs You Have a Poor Relationship With Food (That Have Nothing to Do With Willpower)” – you'll learn…

Hello there, and welcome back to the podcast. In last week's episode, I used the phrase ‘food freedom' in the context of food being a mirror to show the relationship you have with yourself. But upon reflection, it doesn't make sense. Food freedom is a phrase that is used a lot in diet culture and weight loss circles. But what is food freedom? It sounds catchy, but it's an illusion. We don't actually need freedom from food because food is not the problem. Rules around food are the thing keeping us hostage. That's what I look into in this episode.     The guilt and shame we feel around food are because we have been taught that certain foods are bad or that there are food rules we must follow. We are taught to be afraid of carbs or sweets or emotional eating, and so we feel like we're held hostage by food. That's where the idea of food freedom comes from. But when we understand that food is not the problem and rules are, the idea of food freedom falls apart. Food is neutral. Hunger is normal. There is no perfect way to eat. We don't have to fear food. We're free to eat without guilt. Those are the five things I explore in this episode, breaking apart the idea that we need freedom from food.  __About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Thrive Beyond Size. This episode was partly inspired by my husband returning to school and watching how meticulous he is about his assignments. The effort he puts into things is admirable but not sustainable and I realized that striving for perfection is about the illusion of control. It correlates to healing relationships with food in a very real way. If you've spent years trying to control food, just holding onto the reins of your relationship with food so tightly, you probably believe that you have control and are safe, right? But something I call the control paradox comes into play which is that the tighter we clamp down, the less control we actually have. The more we restrict, the more chaotic and compulsive things become. So today I dive into the control paradox: what it means, how it works, and how to break free.    I explore three very important questions: 1) Why do we believe that control equals safety in the first place? 2) How do restriction and rigid food rules backfire on us, making food feel even more chaotic? 3) How can we step out of this control paradox and into a place of more trust and freedom with food? A lot of our food rules are shaped from a very young age and when we also factor diet culture into the mix, we take in the primary message that our bodies can't be trusted and control is the answer. Control makes us feel like we might be safe. But as soon as we slip up, we spiral into chaos and feel very unsafe. So the answer actually lies in trust. Learning to trust our bodies again. And that's what I explore: why trust is so scary but vital to intuitive eating and breaking out of the control paradox.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

Why has nutrition - something that should be so simple - become so complicated? With 70% of our diet now consisting of ultra-processed foods and conflicting advice everywhere we look, is it any wonder we're confused about what to eat? Today's returning guest is my good friend, Dr Rupy Aujla, who is on a mission to make healthy cooking accessible and enjoyable for all. He's a medical doctor, nutritionist and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen and author of five best-selling books. If you haven't heard Rupy's story before, his life was changed after suffering a significant heart condition in 2009. After learning about nutritional medicine, he was able to reverse his condition using a food and lifestyle approach. Today, Rupy is constantly creating tasty recipes that help people optimise their health and he shares them - yes, in his cookbooks - but, also, in his wonderful Doctor's Kitchen recipe app that helps over 10,000 people each week use evidence-based food and lifestyle medicine, to live healthier, happier lives.   In this fantastic conversation, you'll discover: The science of burning fat and why calorie counting often fails in the real world Four evidence-based principles for sustainable weight management that don't require strict tracking  Why ultra-processed foods lead to overconsumption and how to naturally reduce them in your diet The power of single-ingredient foods and how they can transform your health - and why protein at breakfast is crucial for appetite regulation throughout the day Why eating dinner a little bit earlier, can significantly impact our metabolism and weight How the quality of our sleep directly affects our food choices and the connection between emotional eating and our relationship with food Why different diets work for different people, how to find your personal approach and practical tips for implementing healthy changes while maintaining a busy lifestyle This conversation strips away the complexity of nutrition, offering clear, actionable strategies that anyone can implement.  So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation offers a practical roadmap forward, showing you how simple - and enjoyable - healthy eating can be.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
