Deepened Roots Podcast

Episode #15 touched on the importance of fats. This episode is going to lay out the good, bad, and horrible fats. We will sort out the monounsaturated from the polyunsaturated; the Omega 3s from the 6s from the 9s. What's the deal behind all of this? You're about to find out.

The topic of fiber in itself is complex.  So much so that it deserves its own podcast episode - a Fiber 101, so to speak.  Like all things, fiber is not a one-size-fits-all component of the human diet.  Join me as I comb through what fiber is, what fiber isn't, how to implement it into your diet, and why fiber even matters.

This episode follows up last week's episode on macronutrients  Micronutrients:  What are they?  Why do they even matter?  You are about to find out.

There is so much information and misinformation out there, as well as fear and shame, built around what constitutes as a nutritional meal.  And really, there's no perfect, one-size-fits all formula.  Though there are healthier approaches than others, based on good-old science and education about what's in a balanced meal.  Today, we're talking about balancing macronutrients, which is a good place to start.

The modern world is all about the quick-fixes, especially when it comes to our bodies - as if changing one habit only and not your thinking around that habit is going to be your golden ticket to a healthy life.  This episode touches on how getting to the source of your health, and making one small change at a time will give you lasting results that stick. *NOTE:  Some randomly-playful cursing was involved, in the making of this episode*

This episode focuses on how the term "diet" can have different meanings, and how that can affect us psychologically.  One meaning brings on shame, the other possibilities.  Both meanings of the word "diet" can take a hold of your relationship with your food, and your inner personal power.

Being great doesn't mean being greater than someone or something else.  It means being a great version of self.  This episode explores the difference, and the obstacles we all face in deciding if the risks are worth it to fall back, stay the same, or dare to be great.  

There's standing in your truth, and then there is taking that truth - that gut feeling - and taking empowered action on that truth.  Join me, as I talk about what that looks like, and why it's important in all areas of your life - your physical, emotional, and mental health, to name a few.

We all have been influenced and inspired by someone at some point in our lives.  One of my many influences have been the work of Brooke Castillo, founder of The Life Coach School.  Listen in as I talk about her and how she's influenced not only my professional work, but my personal growth as well.
