On this week's episode we're discussing - are you addicted to cortisol? It's been a while since we did an entire episode on burnout, so we're diving right in. Are you burnt out and you don't even know it? Or are you totally burnt out and have no idea what to do about it? We're talking about what it means to be functionally dysregulated; when you can't relax and chill OR you're catatonic and doom scrolling when you finally get an opportunity to sit. We also talk about the different stages of burnout, and what people try to do to get out of burnout that actually pushes them further into it.

On today's episode we're talking relationship with food, body image and body neutrality in dietetics from olympic athlete and soon to be dietitian Jordan Delacruz. Today we're talking about - wow do you balance the principles of intuitive eating, non-diet, and supporting positive body image while in a weight class dependent sport? Jordan talks about her personal experience as a professional athlete and how weight class sports can be a very toxic culture of negative self talk, extreme dieting or weight control practices, and how she's working to navigate this and create a more positive culture.

Danielle Bourgeon shares her personal insights on nutrition for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and common misconceptions surrounding this condition. She discusses the fear of feeling overwhelmed when getting diagnosed, and the pitfalls of trying to do all the things in a perfectionist way to try to "cure" the disease or stop its progression. We also touch on the dangers of orthorexic thinking and restrictive dietary approaches for MS, and what warning signs you can look for when trying to implement nutrition for multiple sclerosis.
