My Fertology EP 4: Eating For Vitality

What’s better for you – white rice or potato? Learning to eat healthier shouldn’t be difficult but for many it can be a little confusing. In this episode, we are going to get clear about healthy food choices. We’ll evaluate the glycemic and insulin index, keto diet, weight loss versus maintenance diets, organic versus non-organic local foods, macronutrients, micronutrients, healthy and unhealthy carbs, balanced meals, and more. Get ready to feed your body with nutritional balance and change your life.

My Fertology EP 3: Mindful Eating

We need to eat every day to survive but let’s look beyond what we are eating, to thrive! Explore with us as we look at current eating habits, the art of planning ahead, knowing your why (in eating healthy), and how to be more mindful and satisfied with your food.

In this episode, we cover:

The social pressures of eating unhealthy vs. healthy in social gatherings

Recognizing the psychology of food choices at home, work, and social gatherings

Mindset and your relationship with food

Finding a healthy connection with food

How to direct and redirect others around you to help you with your healthy nutrition choices

Tips in how to feel satiated and satisfied with foods that are healthy for you

Intermittent Fasting, although healthy for many people, is not for everyone and definitely not healthy or appropriate during certain times in your life or with certain body types coming from Western and Eastern perspective (we elaborate from our Fasting episode #3).

My Fertology EP 2: When to Nourish You (Part 1)

In our past episode we covered WHY it’s important, today we are talking about WHEN to nourish you and what does this look like.

We were always taught the first meal of the day is the most important.

Myth or fact? We will unveil the truth about and discuss:

How the food industry has impacted our choices

How sugar impacts fat and metabolism

Where did this concept come from

When the best time is to eat our first meal

Concept of fasting- what it is; the science; the health benefits when done correctly

Fasting and weight loss.

Depending on your body type and time of life, you may forego intermittent fasting. Always seek the medical advice of your health provider. More on this in When to Nourish You (Part 2).

My Fertology EP 1: Why it is a Necessity to Nourish You Now

Nourishment is one of the Pillars of good health. Before we get into specifics about what to nourish you with, it’s fundamental to know why it is important to nourish you.

In this episode, we want to help you identify your Why. Have you ever said to yourself, I should eat better and eat less (or more) but you don’t do it and if you do, it doesn’t last? The truth is, unless you know your “why”, it’s difficult to take action or make lasting changes to your life even though you know it would have you feeling healthier.
