Colorful Eats

Today we’re getting a bit giddy hanging with our dear friend Bethany McDaniel, the owner and creative mastermind behind the clean beauty products of Primally Pure. We can’t help it, she’s one of our faves!

Rather than digging into the details of her amazing products (which you have heard us talk about so many times), today we decided to get down and dirty with the business side of things. Because it’s always fun to get the “behind the scenes” look at our favorite brands and even learn a few things from the pros.

In today’s episode, Bethany shares what life was like when she first started Primally Pure, making products straight out of her home, how her routine has changed since having her first baby and ways she tries to practice balance within it all.

 

To learn more about Primally Pure and Bethany’s mission for creating safe, organic and effective products, head over to the Primally Pure website or follow along on Instagram!

 

And if you haven’t already, we’d love for you to click SUBSCRIBE in iTunes and write us a sweet little review! It’s like a virtual high-five and helps other podcast lovers find our corner of healthy living love.

If you missed last week’s episode, Part 1 of our detox series, go back and listen to Episode 27 before listening to today’s episode.

In "Detoxing Your Life Part 2," we are continuing with the theme of looking at detox through a whole body lens and diving into external detox. Your external environment—the products you use to clean your home, your beauty and skincare routine, the sheets you sleep on, stress, even toxic relationships—can all add to your body’s toxic load and even cripple your body’s natural detox superpowers.

The good thing is that we have the ability to make simple, intentional choices day to day that can help us clean up our external environment and encourage gentle, daily detox and create more balance and joy in our lives.

Today we’re talking about 6 environmental areas and how to clean them up using lifestyle hacks and safe, non-toxic products. We put today’s “Action Steps” into a free download that’ll help you put everything you (as well as Part 1) into motion in your own life.

We also announced the winner of the Beautycounter Protect Sun Stick during the episode!

Today is the first day of spring and we thought this was the perfect time of year to talk about detox since most of us have the natural urge to purge the junk in their lives and take on the new season with a healthier flare this time of year. What do you think about when we say the word “detox”? A juice cleanse? Expensive supplements? Restricting animal products? A sort of “punishment” to help get you into those skinny jeans?

Yeah, that’s not really our style.

On today’s episode, we’re re-defining detox. Because society has made it a little crazy and even harmful. We forget that our bodies should be detoxing all the time—sadly with all the life stressors, normal detox properties aren’t happening as efficiently as they should. We dig into how we approach detox with the whole body in mind and how you can create an atmosphere and lifestyle that naturally encourages every day detox.

We also get specific with our top 5 favorite areas to focus on for internal detox and give you steps to take to create better health and balance in each.

And we’ve got a little freebie for you too! We think this topic is pretty darn important and we want you to be able to focus in and make our recommendations a reality in your everyday life. Because a healthier you is a happier you and we kind of dig that.

In other news...we received a review in iTunes that absolutely made our week! Amanda wrote a super sweet note and here is what she said...  

“A couple of years ago I remember I didn’t want to start listening to any podcasts because I thought, “I’m not going to have the time to keep up with this!” but something I recently wrote about was how we have time for what we make time for. Where are my priorities? Something I definitely have time for is learning. Bettering myself. Being uplifted. Encouraged. Resting my eyes in this world of social media, while my brain stays active. This podcast meets those criteria in a fun-over-the-interwebs atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and relax during your chore time, or maybe you need an epsom salt soak while making some new podcast friends- either way, give these ladies a listen!”

We absolutely love hearing from you so if you have a moment, head over to iTunes and tell us what you’re loving most about the Colorful Eats podcast.  Thank you so much for the glowing review Amanda!

Today we are talking about what it means to be a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and how you can be an influencer without ever going back to school!

This episode is a little different than the usual. Today we are digging into what we do as Nutritional Therapy Practitioners and what that title actually means. Each week we share about different health topics and lend our expertise as Nutritionists so we want you to understand a bit more about where we come from, why we approach nutrition and healthy living the way we do and what we love most about working with clients.

We’re also giving a bit of business advice, that I’d say could apply to just about any career path. ← You might be surprised what my advice is!

Not only are we giving you a bit of an inside look into what we do, we’re also sharing why we think being an NTP may be something that could be a next step for those who have a passion for real food and healthy living but aren’t quite sure what step to take next.

We understand this won’t be for everyone so we give some encouragement to those who are passionate about natural living and creating a healthy lifestyle, but aren’t necessarily ready to jump ship on their current 9-5.

You don’t need schooling or credentials to be an influencer, so we are sharing some of our favorite books that you can read to educate yourself for the best! As well as a fun business opportunity you can do without going back to school!

Our first fitness focused podcast episode (wow, try saying that 3 times fast!) is up and it’s a good one! In today’s episode we chat with the incredibly real and insanely beautiful Rachel Doell of Daily Routine Fitness about making fitness and movement a part of your everyday routine and the real challenges that come along with it. We love her take on loving your body, supporting the emotional side of your health and pushing yourself to create strength and perseverance in your life. 

Rachel shares her tips on how to move to lose weight while simultaneously loving your body, how to get back into working out after baby (and why choosing sleep over movement may be better on your waistline) and how to create daily fitness goals despite your crazy schedule. There is definitely something for everyone in today’s episode. 

What we enjoy most about Rachel and her take on fitness and life is her ability to role with the punches, so to speak, and find joy in family, self love and the messiness of this life.

Thank you to the Nutritional Therapy Association for sponsoring this podcast—real education for people who believe in eating real food!

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down 8 common nutrition myths and giving you real life, doable suggestions to help drive the truth home and create more balance and nourishment in your life. From why fat is actually one of the healthiest things you can eat to the truth about whole grains, we’re breaking down the hot topics that tend to confuse us right into a box of donuts.

January is a month where you hear a lot more health and nutrition commercials, blog posts, ads and the like that are usually full of recommendations that can actually go against our desire to get and be healthy, despite our best efforts. This isn’t because they’re trying to scam you, but a lot of old and debunked info is still being taught that just isn’t doing our bodies any justice.

In the words of our favorite reality TV stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines, “It’s demo day!” 

Can we be candid with you today? Our dream is for this podcast to grow and reach hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to help encourage our listeners to create and maintain a balanced, well-rounded approach to a healthy lifestyle. But the bottom line is that we can’t do this without YOU and truth be told, we wouldn’t want to. You are why we do what we do. You are why we LOVE what we do.

So, the way you can help us rock this crazy dream out is to head over to iTunes, click “SUBSCRIBE” and write us a sweet little review. Then, share the Colorful Eats podcast with your friends and family and tell them why you love listening!

Thank you for your support, we do adore you!

If healthy eating and living still seem like rocket science to you, this is your episode. Today we’ve got on the fabulous #ladyboss behind the healthy lifestyle company, Simply Real Health, and author of The Simply Real Health Cookbook, Sarah Adler. 

Sarah shares how she came to “break the chains” of dieting and food obsession and learned to create more joy surrounding food. She’s in the business of “food freedom,” as she calls it, and we absolutely love this concept! 

Like us, she’s passionate about spreading the word on the power of simple, real food and she’s made it her life’s mission to take the stress out of it all. And she’s really good at it. We dig into Sarah’s ritual for closing out the year and creating better focus, direction and passion in the new year and why matcha should be in your shopping cart ASAP (even the perfect cup to drink it in!). 

We love what Sarah’s doing in the world of real food and healthy living and are so excited for you to be inspired by this episode!

Be sure to grab Sarah’s cookbook and follow her blog, Instagram and Pinterest for lots of beautiful and inspiring food love.
