Is “clean eating” really the path to wellness—or just another shiny trap wrapped in kale and guilt? In this episode, we break down the myth of clean eating and why it might be making you feel worse, not better. From the moralizing language around food to the unrealistic expectations and elitism baked into the clean eating trend, we’re unpacking it all. 

Then, we pivot to something that actually works: real food and the 80/20 approach. Learn how this flexible, balanced mindset can help you reconnect with your body, honor your cravings, and make space for joy—without the shame spiral. 

✨ Expect real talk, a few laughs, and a whole lot of permission to eat the damn cookie.
