Dr. Meaghan and Dr. Ron Kirschling sit down to discuss the second book club for the book Food Politics by Marion Nestle.  In this book club, we present Part 1 and Part 2 of the book.  

Here are the five main points that we took away from these two parts of the book:

1. Nutritional advice is meant to be confusing.  The nature of the game makes it complicated and that it is not always the information that is sent out to the media is based on scientific research and unbiased facts.  
2. A lot of the information that we get regarding nutrition comes from the food industry and has a potential bias because the food industry wants to make money.
3. Research studies are open to interpretation.
4. When the government tries to establish guidelines, there is always a political undercurrent to those guidelines and compromise from the government and food industry.
5. The real issue for the food industry is profits because it is a business.

Listen in as we discuss how these principles have shaped the food industry and how lobbyists have played a major role in our food politics.

Dr. Meaghan sits down and talks today to Alexis Nicole White. She is a relationship expert, entrepreneur, journalist, and author of the book The Covered.  Alexis uses her personal experiences and story to help convey to her readers the benefits of establishing emotional stability in your life.  

Alexis’ objective is to:

• Educate the fundamental knowledge of emotional abuse in relationships
• Encourage women to develop and maintain healthy relationships
• Empower women to become survivors of emotionally challenging situations and circumstances that may alter one’s outlook on life by being: transparent, fearless and resilient.

She shares with us the 5 rules for modern day relationships.

1.  Set clear boundaries It is imperative to set clear boundaries in your relationships to ensure that you are being treated with the utmost respect.  Without identifying those parameters, people will treat you the way they percieve is appropriate.

2.  Trust your inner voice God speaks to us.  He shows us signs.  He reveals things to us.  Our intuition is there for a reason- use it.  Trust your instinct.

3.  Don't believe the hype Every woman needs to have the ability to have their own money, housing and vehicle.  Ensure you have established your credit so that if you needed to get your own things today, you can.

4.  Don't be afraid to walk away If the relationship is not empowering you to become a better and not inspiring you to do better, thn it maybe something you need to leave behind.  Value yourself enough to know when something is not being fruitful and move on with your life.

5.  Identify quality relationships and people  Character breeds quality.  You deserve to surround yourself by quality people and relationships that fulfill you.

We dive into the fact in this podcast that

IF IT DOESN'T SERVE YOU, THEN DON'T SERVE IT.

Dr. Meaghan and BTHBA are excited to welcome Alison Kero to the podcast.  She is the CEO of the website ACK Organizing along with being a speaker, blogger, and author. 

The reason that I am excited to have this conversation with Alison is that she is a decluttering expert.  I have seen firsthand how important organization and declutter can be for someone. And she focuses on the ramifications on health, both physical and mental, by keeping too much clutter in someone’s life.

She has been a professional organizer since 2004 and works with clients to make their lives simpler and take back control of their lives by getting rid of stuff that doesn't matter.

She does this through incorporating 5 basic steps to organizing your life:

1) Know Your Priorities

2) Establish Boundaries

3) Make Small, Self-Love Based Decisions

4) Create Simple Systems

5) Become Aware of Your Emotions/Intuition & How to Use it Effectively

RESOURCES WE TALK ABOUT ON THE PODCAST

• ACK Organizing
• 6 MP3s to help you organize different components of your life for DIYers

Thanks so much for listening and thanks Alison for coming on the show.  I would like to leave you with one of Alison's mottos:

"One’s self or material goods, which has more worth"

Dr. Meaghan is excited to welcome Kathryn Kemp Guylay, CNC, MBA, to the show today to talk about her new book Give it a Go, Eat A Rainbow.  This book follows the magical travels of Blake as he is exposed to all the colors of the rainbow in his food choices and how they positively affect his journey. 

Kathryn is the founder and executive director of the non-profit organization Nurture that focuses on low-income populations and the nutritionally related diseases that we see in certain populations.  She has found by working closely with these wonderful families, that nutrition needs to be fun and straightforward.  That is how this book has come to be.  With her son, Alexander Guylay, contributing the augmented reality illustrations for the book.  This book is excellent for both parents, teachers, and children.
