Episode Description:

Have you ever made a comment about someone’s body without realizing your kids were listening? Maybe it was a comment about weight loss, a “good” or “bad” food, or how someone “shouldn’t eat that.”

In this episode, we are talking about why it’s time to stop talking about people’s bodies — including our own. As a mom and Registered Dietitian, I’m sharing my own journey of realizing that controlling my kids’ food choices wasn’t creating the healthy relationship with food I wanted for them.

We’ll talk about the messages kids are hearing, the impact of diet culture at home, and simple ways we can shift the conversation to help our kids feel confident, capable, and connected to their own bodies.

Gut health has become one of the biggest wellness trends online.

Everywhere you look, there are:

• Greens powders
• Probiotic supplements
• Gut cleanses
• Detox teas

And honestly? It can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what actually supports gut health versus what is simply clever marketing.

As a registered dietitian, I think there are some gut health habits that truly can support digestion, energy, and overall wellness. But I also think social media has made gut health way more complicated than it needs to be.

The reality is this:

You do not need a cabinet full of supplements to support your gut.

Let’s break down the gut health trends that may actually help — and the ones I personally think are overhyped.
