In this mini-episode, I discuss three important mindset shifts for the holiday season, especially when spending time with family. Learn why we should rethink how we talk about exercise (hint: it's not about 'having to'), stop attaching moral value to food choices, and embrace traditional recipes without feeling the need to 'healthify' everything.

Jeff Ash talks with us today about tackling diet culture among men. He also touches on the role of structured eating, and finding balance without obsession. This is a must-listen for understanding this crucial topic of how our culture (and our churches) impacts men differently than women. We all do life with males (husbands, sons, brothers, co-workers etc.) so tune in to learn ways to support them foster healthy mindsets around food, health and body image. 

We discuss:

• How diet culture impacts men differently
• The nuances of diet culture
• Influences that the gym and church settings can have on our mindsets towards food and body 
• Improving body image tips for males

Happy Birthday to Me! 🎉🎂🎈

Day 5️⃣ of 5️⃣ Days to 5️⃣0️⃣:

Write down 5 things you're grateful for.

I'll probably do more than 5, but start with 5 and see where that takes you.

Thank you for joining along, even if you've just listened to the journey from afar (hey I do it too). ❤️❤️

And if you missed it, be sure to listen to my latest Graced Health Podcast episode, 50 Lessons I've Learned in 50 Years. That exercise was so beneficial to me in many ways.
