Podcasts about nutrition communications

Hey Team! On today's episode, we're breaking down one of the most frustratingly simple yet hard ADHD challenges, eating, because come on, we have to do it every day, but also, we have to do it everyday. We've got a returning guest, Jackie Silver, a Registered Dietitian with a Masters of Health Science in Nutrition Communications. She's built her practice, Accessible Wellness, around making food and nourishment doable, even on the days when executive function is nowhere to be found. In our conversation, we dig into why eating with ADHD can be so difficult, from executive dysfunction to low appetite, forgotten meals, and food aversions. We also explore practical strategies for eating, managing dopamine-seeking snacking, handling picky eating, and finding low-effort meals that still meet at least some of those nutritional requirements. Plus, we talk shame, sensory preferences, and how to stop making mealtimes harder than they need to be.

When needed, you can try out mechanical eating, where you are eating on a schedule, regardless of hunger cues, to compensate for poor interoception or appetite suppression from meds. 2. Try creating a grab-and-go food list. Having a list of foods that are easy to prep, safe to eat, and require minimal effort (like string cheese, baby carrots, or pre-cooked rice packs) can help reduce friction when deciding what to eat. 3. Work on acknowledging emotional and sensory triggers for eating. Sometimes we crave specific foods because of their texture, taste, or comfort, rather than hunger. Recognizing the why behind the urge can help you make more aligned choices, and remember it's okay to fill those other needs as well. 4. Give yourself permission to eat without shame. There's nothing wrong with sticking with your safe foods when you need them. The idea that adults should eat a certain way can be unhelpful and ableist. Focus on doing what works best for you.

Pregnancy is a lot. Your body's changing in real time, your cravings make zero sense, and suddenly everyone has an opinion about what you should or shouldn't be eating. It's overwhelming, confusing, and honestly? Sometimes just straight-up annoying. That's why we're cutting through the noise in today's episode and getting into the real stuff. I'm in convo with women's health dietitian Julianka Bell, who's worked with tons of moms-to-be and knows how to make nutrition feel supportive, doable, and actually helpful minus the guilt or outdated rules. Even if you're not pregnant, but you're thinking ahead or just want to feel more confident about nourishing yourself in this season, there's something here for you too. Hit play...you're gonna love this one. LISTEN UP! The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body.

Hey team,This week I'm talking with Jackie Silver about nutrition and wellness. Jackie is a Registered Dietitian with a Master of Health Science (MHSc) in Nutrition Communications. She has a firm belief that neurodivergent and disabled people deserve to live a healthy lifestyle but found the opportunities for these communities lacking, so she decided to start her own practice, Accessible Wellness. Her area of expertise is in working with kids, teens, and adults with autism, ADHD, and those with intellectual or developmental disabilities.In our conversation today, we discuss strategies for making nutrition and wellness more accessible. We talk about some of the common challenges we can face while trying to feed ourselves with ADHD, like irregular eating, difficulty with meal planning/prep, and poor interoceptive skills. We look at how we want simplified, tailored strategies to help people where they're at, rather than simply overwhelming them. We also go into some of the dangers of diet culture and the need to have compassion for ourselves when trying out new strategies.The Hunger-Fullness ScaleNeurodivergent-Friendly 30-Minute MealsBe sure to check out Accessible WellnessOn their WebsiteOn InstagramAnd these great articles from the blog:10 Principles of Intuitive Eating with a Neurodivergent TwistForget to Eat?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Gigi Ashworth. She is a former competitive snowboarder and horseback rider that has since become a popular allergen-friendly food personality and cook across social media platforms, with a master's certificate in Nutrition Communications from Tufts University. However, prior to obtaining her master's degree, she got her broadcast journalism degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and even worked as the 3 AM weather girl at Denver's ABC affiliate. When she finished her studies in Colorado, she moved to Los Angeles (she now lives in Georgia again with her husband and two baby boys, who find her adoration for salmon quite comical) to pursue a career in the entertainment hosting field. That career focus led her to start a humorous blog and YouTube channel called GiGi Eats Celebrities that showcases her personality and her extreme passion for realistic nutrition. This blog and YouTube channel turned into platforms where people with diet, nutrition, and health concerns, as her own enthusiasm for such topics stems from her severe diet-related issues (Crohn's disease, celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, and no large intestine), can get advice (such as traveling with food intolerances and/or autoimmune diseases) along with allergen-friendly/keto diet approved recipes that everyone can enjoy. Her platforms (she now mainly focuses her efforts on her Instagram page, which currently boasts roughly 360,000 followers) have allowed her to garner the attention of many (who have described her as having an infectious, no bullshit, hilarious, salmon-loving personality). This led to her authoring her first book, She Does Keto, which is an informational cookbook, just like Seduced By Salmon, however, it covers the topic of the ketogenic diet and why it's beneficial for women (and also contains 115 recipes). She was tapped to write a book on this topic because she has been living a ketogenic lifestyle for the last 18 years before it was even a “thing,” and researches this way of eating on the daily. As a devoted fitness enthusiast, a rather blunt and light-heartedly vulgar diehard allergen-friendly foodie that has been dubbed the Salmon Queen (she eats roughly eight pounds of salmon a week and has been doing so for the last ten plus years, and showcases this on the daily through Instagram stories and posts), she has been told that she is proof that you can educate and inform as well as entertain all at the same time! In this episode, Gigi Ashworth explains how she became The Salmon Queen on social media. Every single second of every day, Gigi craves salmon because of its great taste and fantastic health benefits. Gigi busts common myths around salmon and describes why you should think twice about buying wild-caught salmon during your next shopping trip. If you don't already, research and determine where the salmon you purchase comes from. Tune in as we discuss the inspiration behind Gigi's books, some of Gigi's favorite salmon recipes, and why you should never eat tilapia.  This episode originally aired in November 2022. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

While on the other hand, a pound of salmon keeps her satiated.  Now, Gigi craves salmon every single second of every single day.  [22:00] The Reason Gigi Recommends Farmed Salmon Instead of Wild Caught Salmon Most people think wild-caught salmon is the way to go. Farming salmon started to take shape in the 1960s.  In the 1980s, they started to regulate farmed salmon. Farmed salmon is much better than wild-caught salmon because of how regulated it is.  Gigi recommends Kvaroy Arctic: https://www.kvaroyarctic.com/ [27:40] Do Your Research: Where Is Your Salmon Coming From?  There are a lot of toxins in the ocean. Wild salmon can have loads of toxins and mercury in them. Big fish will hold mercury, so you aren't supposed to eat swordfish.  Also, wild salmon is being overfished and is more expensive than farmed fish.  Why buy garbage salmon when you can buy farmed salmon that has been fed to enhance health?  Before buying salmon, Gigi also researches where exactly it comes from.  [31:55] Keto Recipe: Making Taco Shells Using Salmon Skin Gigi will skin the salmon to make her famous taco shells. Using taco shell holders, you can air fry the skin and have a healthy taco shell! Gigi loves to create a salmon poke with avocado, sesame seeds, and ginger using her taco shells. You can also fill the taco shells with sardines, scallops, chicken, or beef! [39:25] Why Tilapia Is So Incredibly Unhealthy For You  Tilapia is a garbage fish! Tilapia is high in omega-6 fatty acids. You want your omega-3 and omega-6 ratio to be as close to 1:1 as possible. Unfortunately, most people get a 1:16 ratio in their diets for omega-3 and omega-6. [43:55] The Inspiration Behind The Complete Ketogenic Diet For Women The keto lifestyle is beneficial for so many people! Keto helps women with their hormone levels.  Also, keto is excellent for endometriosis, PCOS, and weight loss.  Hormones are what typically cause women to gain weight. With a keto lifestyle, your hormones will calm down, and your metabolism will kick into high gear.  She Does Keto: The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Women: https://www.amazon.com/She-Does-Keto-Complete-Ketogenic/dp/1641523573/benazadi-20.

Getting your product to market has many steps, and a crucial one is developing a compliant nutrition facts label. Food labeling (https://bakerpedia.com/food-safety/food-labeling/) needs to be easily understood by consumers and must comply with federal regulations. Proper food labeling is vital to a product's success, as products that do not comply or are in violation of the regulations may be subject to recall. In this episode of BAKED in Science, host Mark Floerke is joined by three nutrition, food regulation, and allergen labeling experts to explore the nuances of the nutrition facts label. Lauren Swann is a Registered Dietitian with a Master of Science in Nutrition Communications and a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist in the state of Pennsylvania. With over 40 years of experience, she has worked for companies such as Concept Nutrition, Inc., (https://foodfactswork.com)Kraft Foods Group, and Vlasic Foods & The Pinnacle Food Corporation. Kamran Khan is a food regulation compliance professional with a Master of Science in Chemistry. After 10 years of experience in analytic testing in a food laboratory, he got his start in food regulation when India rolled out stricter food safety and standard regulations. Sam Godefroy is a professor of Food Risk Analysis and Regulatory Policies in the Department of Food Science at Laval University. He is also a founding member of the Global Food Regulatory Science Society. (https://gforss.org) Focusing on food labeling As these three food experts discuss the current landscape of labeling and health claims, some topics covered include: - Considerations for nutrition facts labeling - Nutrient content claims as defined by the FDA - Health claims and regulations for food exports - Regulations surrounding allergen labeling - Allergen management practices

Do you dread the age old question: What do you want to have for dinner? It's enough to drive anyone crazy because no one in your family (who you're polling) is any help, yet they're long on feedback when dinner's about to be served. I coach on this a lot with my clients - you're not alone. On today's podcast, I'm interviewing Allison Schaaf, the creator of PrepDish, which is similar to the meal delivery kits, but not. It's super affordable, value packed, and easy. On our episode today, we're talking all about meal prep - how to get organized, how to plan your meals, what to do ahead of time, and everything that you need in order to feel like you have a handle on yours and your family's nutrition. Listen to today's podcast to learn more about how to get a handle on that dreaded question & she even has a free gift for you. But you have to listen to find out what it is! About Allison Schaaf: Chef & Dietitian Allison Schaaf is the founder of Prep Dish, a gluten-free, paleo & keto meal planning service that helps busy moms get dinner on the table with ease. Allison holds a Bachelor's Degree in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University, a Master's Degree in Nutrition Communications from Tufts University, and became a Registered Dietitian at New England Medical Center. During her years in culinary school, Allison spent time honing her skills as a chef, working at renowned health spas, Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires and Champneys in Tring, England. After grad school, Allison then moved on to work with the Almond Board of California, sharing the health benefits of almonds with health professionals around the globe. But she knew pretty quickly that her true calling was as an entrepreneur so she packed her bags and moved to Austin, TX to start a personal chef business, a career she had fallen in love with during her high school summers. In 2009, Prep Dish: Personal Chef was born.

During these uncertain times, shopper interest in making healthy choices at the grocery store is heightened as is their focus on shelf-stable products. One hundred percent juice is a nutrient-dense drink and a popular pantry or refrigerator staple with a long shelf life. Research shows drinking 100% juice is a cost-effective way to meet fruit and vegetable goals, while also delivering significant nutrients and improving diet quality. Nonetheless, many misperceptions exist about 100% fruit juice's role in eating habits, and its impact on overall health including body composition and weight. What does the science really say? During this podcast, Diane Welland, MS, RD, and Director of Nutrition Communication for Juice Products Association will address common consumer myths and why it’s time to recommend shoppers but juice back on the table.

If you have a child with a newly diagnosed food allergy, you are likely consumed with learning as much as you can to keep your kiddo safe and healthy. This may also mean that you are neglecting your own self-care in order to take on the extra responsibility of eliminating allergens from your home and meeting with daycare providers and school administrators to develop a plan for your child. What can you do to take care of yourself during this challenging time?   Diana Rice, RD, is a nationally recognized nutrition professional and family health expert. She is passionate about communicating effective and evidence-based strategies that incorporate good nutrition into the challenges of modern-day life.

Conversation 95:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Danielle Bertiger, RD2Be “I think eating disorders are on the rise. The narrative that every girl should hate their body is totally false and I think that college campuses are a good place to address that. We can use groupthink and friends influencing friends in a positive way instead of the negative way that seems to be happening.” - Danielle Bertiger, RD2Be Today’s conversation is with Danielle Bertiger, a communications expert who fell into health coaching, fitness and food and is now on her way to a masters in Nutrition Communications and her RD. From time to time, I always love to podcast with future dietitians and Danielle was a great person to meet. She shares her personal story of falling into the food and fitness world while working after she complete her undergraduate degree in communications. During that time she decided to become a health coach, found a passion for food and recipe creation and also pursuing her certification in group fitness classes. And then, she thought, hey, I also want to get a masters in nutrition education and become a Registered Dietitian. This woman is passionate about her future profession, is  great at multitasking and is looking forward to starting her internship. Please enjoy my conversation with Danielle.

It's important to really be conscious about how you want to approach your meals. You can look at it being reactive vs. proactive. Do you want to wait until 5 o'clock and scramble to figure something out last minute or do you want to take a step back and be more thoughtful about planning your meals in advance? If I want to take things to the next level, for me that means doing some work up front with batch cooking. It does take some work, but then meal prepping actually helps me save time in the long run and makes life easier. - Allison Schaaf JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Tired of overthinking, stressing, and wasting time thinking about what you're going to have for dinner each night?

Power Quotes From The Show "I have to eat as healthy as my clients and in order for me to do that, I had to take my own meal prepping to the next level. I just had to implement that system to help me reach my own goals." - Allison Schaaf of @PrepDish http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "Batch cooking ultimately helps you set yourself up for success. Choose a consistent day and time each week for when you can do your meal prep. Even if you just chop vegetables in advance, it really makes life easier and makes you more likely to include vegetables with each meal if they're already prepared ahead of time." - Allison Schaaf "Going to a grocery store with a list is key because that's where so much time is wasted during the week. If you have to take an extra trip to the grocery store, your losing time. There are a lot more options now to make grocery shopping more efficient such as grocery delivery or online shopping. Plus, ordering online will helping meal prepping so much easier by planning in advance. At Prep Dish, we're also thinking of different ways of making that grocery experience super efficient but it all starts with making a list." - Allison Schaaf "People jump into batch cooking thinking they have to do it, want to do it, or need to do it but can't find the time to actually do it. So, you first have to believe in the idea that this is going to help save you time later on, this is why I want to do it, and this is why it's important to me instead of thinking of it as something that you should do. Stop seeing it as something you should be doing and think of it as something you want to be doing." - Allison Schaaf "Having a meal prepared in advance that includes the core pieces of vegetables, protein, and healthy fats will help you avoid eating an unhealthy meal when you're stressed. Whether you're stressed or not, a healthy meal is going to help keep you from going on a built up blood sugar spiral." - Allison Schaaf   Links From Today's Show Allison Schaaf LinkedIn Twitter Instagram YouTube Prep Dish Facebook YouTube Pinterest Google+ WFR 037 - How to Avoid Meal Prep Burnout with Allison Schaaf Free 2 Week Prep Dish Trial The Prep Dish Blog Prep Dish: Paleo & Gluten-Free Meal Planning Prep Dish: 21-Day Meal Prep Challenge Instant Pot Paleo f(x) Thrive Market US Wellness Meats Butcher Box Paul Chek What Does BPA-Free Mean?

“I’m passionate about empowering people to make the best food choices they can in their everyday lives, without fear, guilt, or doubt. Eating isn’t a contest we’re all in to see who does it the best. It’s a personal journey where you get to show up for practice every single day, ready or not”.– Robyn Flipse Robyn has been a registered dietitian nutritionist for over 40 years and has worked in a variety of settings, including heading the nutritional care department in a hospital, running a busy private practice, teaching nutrition courses at several colleges and developing specifications for dietetic foods for a specialty food company. For the past 15 years she has operated her own Nutrition Communications business where she draws on her credentials as a cultural anthropologist to interpret changing eating patterns and food trends for food companies and how they may impact dietary policy.  You can read the full notes at www.soundbitesrd.com

Let's face it: When you routinely work 16 hours a day in front of a computer, one of the greatest challenges is maintaining a healthy diet. On Monday morning you resolve to do better this week, but as the deadlines pile on and the time begins to disappear, your willpower quickly erodes and you'll grab whatever you can quickly to keep moving. If you're lucky it's Chinese or Thai provided by your office assistant, and if you're not so lucky, it's a bowl of cereal and Oreo's (I've been there myself...I'm not judging). And if you truly want to eat healthy either at the office cafeteria or by ordering out yourself, it's going to cost you a second mortgage. But what if you could start creating a workflow for your daily meals no different than your creative workflows? In this episode I chat with returning guest Allison Schaaf, the creator of Prep Dish. In episode 66 Allison and I talked about the basic fundamentals of bulk meal preparation, and in this episode we do an even deeper dive into how you can really optimize your process for creating a week's worth of food in just a few hours every weekend.

Listen as Nathan and Allison talk about how Prep Dish uses Facebook ads and influencers to acquire customers. 3 Key Points: A great way to acquire new customers is to reach out in places where current customers spend their time. (Blogs, social media, events) Prep Dish has had the most success gaining customers through influencers such as 100 Days of Real Food.

With the first week of a new year under our belts, for many on the quest in better nutrition, broccoli is getting boring. What are the ways we can avoid meal prep burnout in a fast paced and instant gratification world? Can sitting down to eat with others be the missing piece to healing? The topic of meal planning is perfect timing with what I think everyone is taking a deeper look at right now as we move into the new year, and that is food:   How we make it, what it makes us feel, and what is our relationship with it.
