August 14, 2023 Our Meditation Journeys + Eddie Is a Black Belt?!

Who knew Eddie was a black belt?! Juna tells the incredible tales of what it's like to go on two ten-day silent meditation retreats. Plus, there's a pretty epic Buddhist dad joke in there at the end!

July 24, 2023 What The Heck Is Mindful(ish) Eating ft. The Nutrition Diva
You probably hear about mindful eating all the time, but maybe you think to yourself, how am I actually supposed to do this? There are so many things that are making us mind-LESS eaters: our phones, our food environment, our obsessive food tracking. In a world of calorie trackers and endless TikToks to scroll through, how can we learn to be more mindful eaters, enjoy our food more, and maybe even make better food choices in the process? Today, we talk to Monica Reinagel, The Nutrition Diva, all about mindful-ish eating.

Join the Foodie Fam Membership - https://www.patreon.com/FWNTT!
Welcome to our first episode of The Talk, our member-only bonus episode series! One of our most common requests is to go weekly, and the best way we have found to make that possible is by launching The Foodie Fam Membership. This is our way of staying true our mission by being selective about which sponsors we accept, while still being able to give you guys the content you’ve been asking for!
In this first episode, Eddie and Juna reflect on their own mental health struggles and how exercise and nutrition played a role in their recovery. As we discussed last week, improving diet quality might help your mental health, but if it’s taken too far, it might actually hurt your mental health.

July 10, 2023 Is The Food You're Eating Making You Depressed?
CLICK HERE for tickets and all event details!
Most of us know that food affects our weight and energy levels, but what if the food you are eating is actually having a profound impact on your mental health as well? New research suggests that eating unhealthily might actually play a causal role in mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. In this episode, we speak to Professor Felice Jacka from Deakin University in Australia about her ground-breaking research into improving mental health just by improving lifestyle factors. What if you could feel less depressed by just eating better? This summer, there are more important reasons to eat better than just "looking good on the beach."

This episode is dedicated to the sexiest macronutrient of the time: PROTEIN. We talk to the king of protein research himself, Professor Stu Phillips from McMaster University about all the most common questions we get about protein. How much do you need? Should you spread it out throughout the day? Do you need a protein supplement? Is animal or vegan protein better? What's the deal with collagen, and more. Find out how a higher protein diet impacts your overall health, your weight, and your metabolism. (Plus, how to not waste your money on things that don't work.)

June 12, 2023 The Myth of "I'll Be Happy When I'm X Pounds" ft. Laurie Santos
"I'll be happy when..." How many times have you found yourself saying that? It could be a goal income, a goal relationship, or a goal body, but the message is the same: I need to wait to get THIS thing before I can be happy. So what happens when you actually do get THAT thing—get that house, see that number on the scale, reach that income level? It turns out, not what you think. In this episode we talk to Professor Laurie Santos from Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast about what really makes us happy and what actually matters. Get ready because whatever we think is the answer is often the furthest thing from it.

June 05, 2023 Getting Summer Ready - Trailer!
How many summers have you spent feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable in your body? Maybe you don’t buy that two piece swimsuit, or maybe you skip the pool party. We spend months stressing, dieting, and taking extra spin classes in the hopes that THIS summer will be different. THIS summer, I’ll be confident. I’ll look the way I want to look. I’ll be ready.
Well, what if this summer we focus on feeling our best, not just looking our best? What if we could feel confident without being miserable for months in advance? What if we’ve been focusing on the wrong things this entire time and seeing a number on a scale is not actually what will make us happy this summer?
Tune in to our next season for a fresh look at “summer ready.”
