The Planetary Plate: Mindful Eating for a Changing Climate 🎙️


What if the secret to a sustainable planet was already on your plate? 🍽️


This week on Young, Loud and Green, we’re sitting down with Sofia Botelli to reframe the conversation around healthy eating 🥗 - moving beyond weight loss to focus on planetary impact. We dive into the three pillars of a “Planetary Health Diet”: Eating Local, Eating Smart, and Eating Mindfully.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • ​Soil vs. Soul: How supporting local farms builds resilience in both our bodies and our land. 🌾
  • ​The Seasonal Immune System: Why eating with the weather matters more than ever. 🍎
  • ​The Overconsumption Paradox: How much could we slash global emissions if we just ate what our bodies actually needed?
  • ​Ditching the "Almond Mom" Trend: A sensitive look at why “eating less” isn't about restriction - it’s about mindfulness and respecting your body’s limits. 🏋️


Sofia helps us navigate the tricky balance of staying healthy while staying green. 🌱
