Forking Wellness

This week is a slightly different episode... Sophie opens up about her history with an eating disorder, and explains how it started, when she was diagnosed, where she was treated and how she finally started to recover and live her life in a healthy way. Bari asks the questions we all want to know the answers to when it comes to eating disorder recovery and we hope you find value in this episode.

Please note that if you are currently suffering with an eating disorder, this episode may contain some triggering content and we encourage you to seek support. Below are some helpful resources should you need them:

Ladies, let's talk about our cycles! We are excited to discuss periods this week (sorry for any guy listeners) and identify how the different stages of our cycles can affect our mood, productivity levels and more! We often don't think about the different phases of our cycle and so many of us are not even tracking them. Lisa Lister, Author of Code Red talks us through the importance of getting to know our body.

We discuss:

• Cycle Tracking
• Different phases of the cycle
• Our mood at different phases
• How to deal with relevant mood swings
• The impact of stress
• & more!

HAPPY 2021!! For the first Forking Wellness episode of the year we have decided to tear apart diet culture! This is something we both grew up with and we take a deep dive into the hidden messages that were just EVERYWHERE, that lead us to grow up believing that dieting was normal and being in a smaller body meant we were more worthy (UHHH)!!

We discuss:

• What diet culture is
• The impact and messages portrayed on TV and movies
• Magazine headlines talking about body types
• Foods that have been demonised over the years
• Why diet culture SUCKS and needs to be shut down!

This week we sit down and analyse food labels and discuss why they're confusing, how they might be helpful and why they might be unhelpful. Most of us have stood in the supermarket aisle and compared two different brands to see what's 'healthiest' or what has less or 'better' ingredients. But is this really doing us any good? It might be. It might not.

Things we touch on:

• How to read nutrition labels
• How they can influence are food decisions
• Why they might not be as accurate as you think
• Plant based milk ingredients
• Nutritional value of nuts
• Sugar vs artificial sweeteners
• Brand marketing
• What's perceived as 'healthy'
• And more!

Who's ready for Christmas?! It has been one rocky and unpredictable year and we think we could all do with a fun and festive Christmas... However, we must remember that it is just one day, and some individuals experience a lot of anxiety around this time particularly when it comes to their relationship with food. The festive season can be overwhelming and if you don't have a healthy relationship with food, you might find the abundance of food quite daunting. We sit down and have a lighthearted conversation that we also believe to be very helpful, in attempt to relieve some of your stressors.

We decided it would be a fun challenge to go vegan for a week! Despite both of us eating a predominately plant based diet, Bari loves her eggs and Sophie loves her Greek yoghurt. We discuss the challenges we faced, what we enjoyed, what we learnt and what we want to change about our diets moving forward.

Plant based diets have been associated with so many different health benefits not only in regards to health but for the planet too.

If you want to explore a vegan diet, The Vegan Society have some excellent resources https://www.vegansociety.com
