We previously shared an episode on our thoughts in regards to the 'what I eat in a day trend' and we wanted to go a step further... We brought on Registered Associate Nutritionist Toni who is also part of our Forking Wellness team, to prove our point when it comes to the trend. We actually do share what we all eat in a day to show exactly why it is so irrelevant. As you will hear, you can take a day from 3 different nutrition professionals and end up with completely different diets! We really hope you find value in this episode and see why 'what I eat in a day' content should be taken with a pinch of salt.

2020 was a lot for us all to get our head round and it was extremely tough for some people to deal with mentally. With 2021 looking a little like the normal, fun, free and social life we all once knew, we wanted to discuss what feelings this has bought up for both of us personally and address any concerns our audience might be going through too. We couldn't think of a better person to discuss this with than our lovely friend and neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart (we have 2 previous episodes with her talking about brain health and imposter syndrome too!).

Things we discuss:

Anxiety over the world opening back up

Tools to cope with the anxiety

How to ease yourself back into society

Fear of missing out

Guilt over having a night in

We know that food plays a role when it comes to supporting our mental health but how easy is it to manipulate... is it as easy as just eating a 'good mood food'?

Things we discuss:

• The role of omega 3s, tryptophan, carbs and antioxidants
• The effects of certain ingredients on our brain function
• The link between gut health and brain health
• Is there such thing as a good mood food?
• The impact caffeine can have
• The research behind food reducing symptoms of depression

We have spoken a lot on this podcast about intuitive eating but we thought it was time to officially introduce intuitive movement. We speak to Tally Rye, who highlights the fact that, like we often have rules around food, many of us tend to have rules around movement too which in turn can make something that is very beneficial for our health, become more of an obsession or have unhealthy connotations.

Things we discuss:

• All or nothing attitude towards exercise
• The pressure to move in a certain way
• Guilt and shame around our workouts (or not working out)
• Exercise and weight loss
• Physical vs mental health benefits
• Types of fitness goals
• How to start moving more intuitively
• How movement can bring you more joy

Find Tally on instagram and check out her book Train Happy

We would like to thank this weeks sponsor @fab_flour who are currently running their #NourishingTheNation campaign to help reverse any negative connotations associated with eating flour-based products and to communicate the nutritional benefits of flour in general. We want to help them celebrate fibre in #FibreFebruary and spread the message that fibre is easy to add to what we’re already eating, e.g. crumpets have added wholemeal flour. This can also be done by upping our intake of products that are made with flour!

This week we chat to comedian Jared Freid who not only makes us laugh but talks about his own experience in regards to body image, dieting and weight. He talks about his weight loss struggles, why one size doesn't fit all and why we all constantly feel 'judged' based on our size. It is also super interesting to hear about these topics from a male perspective - he doesn't hold back!
