Let Us Eat Cake

In this week's episode Hannah & Ali talk all things hunger. Hunger, fullness, satiety, appetite… there are many different ways to talk about the cues our bodies give us about food. Hannah & Ali use listener questions to explore our complex relationships with the internal cues of eating. Should you wait until you are hungry before you eat? What if you never experience hunger? How do you know if you're full without eating too much? What types of things impact hunger and fullness? What does it mean to eat intuitively? Hunger and fullness can be thought of as a conversation with your body, and Hannah & Ali head straight to the science to help you begin to understand and trust what your body has to say.

In this special bonus episode, Hannah & Ali break down the new Kurbo Health app. This new app by Weight Watchers targets kids 8-17 with the goal of supporting weight loss. Hannah & Ali decided they needed to add their voices of outrage so they pulled out their iPhones to record an SOS episode. They diverge from their usual un-biased standpoint and call straight up BS on this new harmful app. Ain't nobody got time for telling kids that their worth is their weight, that happiness will come from weighing less or that they need to change their bodies to feel confident!

Please sign this petition to remove the app & let kids be kids!

In this week's episode, Hannah & Ali talk all things inflammation. Anti-inflammatory, auto-immune and immune boosters are all topics that have been buzzing around lately, & they start off the episode by explaining what the heck inflammation even is! They dig deep into the research (using the wisdom of some bad ass RDs- see show notes) to answer questions on anti-inflammatory diets, foods to support immune health & whats the deal with red meat? Are there really foods to cut out to avoid inflammation in our bodies? Is there ever a reason to follow an anti-inflammatory diet or elimination diet or is this another trap of the diet industry?
