Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Leslie Bonci is back with the truth about immunity-boosting foods, why your gut health is essential, and, of course - lots of laughs with Michele and Eliz! There's a reason she returns as a three-peat guest - and this episode will help you overcome food bullying during the pandemic. Leslie Bonci is a registered dietitian and a board-certified specialist in sports dietetics. She is the nutrition consultant for the Kansas City Chiefs, Carnegie Mellon University athletics, and the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre – and helps power a wide variety of athletes with smart nutrition. Listen in, and learn how Leslie’s food insight can help you make smart eating choices, during COVID-19 and beyond. Key points: There is no such thing as an immune-boosting food: We can support our health with good nutrition, but we can’t cure a cold, flu, or other illness with food. Your immune system is in your gut. Carbohydrates are critically important - your microbiome flourishes when fed carbs! Eating fermentable carbohydrates produces prebiotics We need enough protein, divided throughout the day to produce antibodies. Omega 3 fats are essential, too. Whole fruits and vegetables supply fluid, calories, carbs, fiber, and disease-fighting phytonutrients. Stocking “wealth on the shelf” Eat well with what you have. Canned, frozen, and dried fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of nutrition. Stocking your shelf is great for budget-minded nutrition, Mix canned or frozen items with fresh to stretch your food dollars: produce, dried milk, canned beans, etc. Don’t feel you need to have the brand name. A dollar store can also be a great source. Three tips to overcome food bullying Enjoy your food! Everybody and every food has a place at the table. Sometimes put your hands over your ears and say “enough”. #DebunkTheJunk Links: USDA Leslie’s website Leslie’ LinkedIn Have you liked the Food Bullying Podcast’s Facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/foodbullyingpodcast Food Bullying: How to Avoid Buying BS by Michele Payn Embrace your Heart with Eliz Greene

This week, I find myself spending more and more time at home as I distance myself from others. Due to Coronavirus concerns (and they are mighty concerns indeed), a growing number of individuals and communities are staying home.

This week, I find myself spending more and more time at home as I distance myself from others. Due to Coronavirus concerns (and they are mighty concerns indeed), a growing number of individuals and communities are staying home. On this week's show, I talk to fellow dietitian, Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD about the importance of keeping your pantry, fridge, and freezer stocked to the brim with nourishing and delicious foods that fortify the body and the soul. Whether you are laying low to reduce the spread of the virus, are required to self-quarantine, or are not feeling well yourself, having healthy foods on hand that your family loves can help to carry all of us through this crisis. Don't panic, my friends, but please be prepared. Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD is the owner of Active Eating Advice, co-founder of Performance 365, sports dietitian to the Kansas City Chiefs, and a fellow Producer for Better Health Fruit and Vegetable Ambassador in Action. She's also one of the most clever, witty, and compassionate dietitians I know! Together, we tell you what we have both stocked in our pantries, refrigerators, and freezers, and we share easy meal ideas using what's on hand.

Want to know what Super Bowl elite NFL players eat that get them to the championship? Come find out as I interview the Kansas City Chiefs nutritionist Leslie Bonci. This is going to be a great! Leslie talks about how she helps the players enhance their performance and get to the championship game. She gives us the nutrition secrets that make these guys shine, and you’ll be pretty surprised by how she does it. Hint – it has something to do with the name of this podcast. We talk about eating time, hydration, supplements, and foods that all affect their health, and how each individual player is assessed medically, physically, and from a nutritional standpoint. These guys are getting top notch care, but it’s not that different that what you and I can do to reach our peak potential. It’s no wonder the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl, after all they have the same registered dietitian nutritionist that worked with the Pittsburg Steelers, which by the way are SIX (6) time Super Bowl champions. Not a coincidence, and the best part is, this episode is right in time for the Super Bowl! Until next time, remember, it only takes One Small Bite over time to transform your life. I look forward to serving you, and hearing from you soon! Thanks!

She is the nutrition consultant for the Kansas City Chiefs, Carnegie Mellon University athletics, and the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre – and helps power a wide variety of athletes with smart nutrition. Listen in, and learn how Leslie’s food insight can help you make smart eating choices. Key Points: Who is a sports dietitian? How do we find common ground when it comes to food? Dealing with the boredom factor Is canned or frozen food good? Why do we attach emotional values to food? Plant-based diet for athletes Food waste Common food labels Tips to overcoming food bullying The Conversation: (01:55): Leslie’s introduction (02:51): Who is a sports dietitian? (05:55): Finding common ground with food (07:32): Preventing boredom factor (10:11): Canned and frozen food (11:41): Why do we attach emotional value to food? (15:51): Food wastage (19:36): How long should we keep food in the freezer? (20:51): Common food labels (25:40): Tips to overcoming food bullying Fabulous Quotes: “Take the fright out of your bite.” “All of us can manufacture enough guilt in the course of any given day. It certainly doesn’t have to be derived from the foods that we’re eating.” “Take advantage of the freezer. That why it’s there.” “It is time for all of us to get back to the idea of nourish, not torture.” “As long as you’re eating the produce, that’s what matters at the end of the day.” “People always say they want variety, but the reality is that most people have a fairly narrow circle of their go-to foods.” Links: USDA Leslie’s website Leslie’ LinkedIn Food Bullying: How to Avoid Buying BS by Michele Payn Embrace your Heart with Eliz Greene
