Nutrition-ish Podcast

Today Chelsea sits down with her mic and answers specific questions around creating a healthy relationship with food, your body and yourself. First she digs into making peace with weight gain & buying bigger clothes, by helping you to see that it’s not always negative, wrong & bad - but why maybe it’s actually a really wonderful thing instead, based on what it represents you’re *really* gaining + what you’re letting go of that no longer serves you. Then she talks about how to forgive yourself after overeating and binging - why we’re triggered to do it & how to move through it so you break the pattern. She wraps up the show with self-sabotage and the nitty gritty of why we do it + how to overcome the cycle. Hope you love this episode!

*keep in mind we recorded this episode 2 weeks ago, before corona became a legitimate concern - times have shifted and it isn’t the time to travel or live it up. So please understand we are certainly taking it seriously, but also wanted to shed light on the fear & panic we are also absorbing and the toll it takes on us, and our immune system. Take care of yourself, but also take care of your mindset <3. Stay safe everyone!!

Have you ever wondered where your lack of self-worth comes from? Why you just can’t quite seem to create *true* confidence from within? Or why you look outwards to food, your body, relationships, and beyond to make you feel better about yourself - but that that doesn’t ultimately make you feel better either? And what about self-love, what even is it, and how do you get there? Today Chelsea interviews a light in the wellness world - Stevie Wright who is a self love coach and breathwork facilitator who walks the walk through her own self-work and inspiring others in a big way. We dig into inner-child work, awareness, resistance, breathwork, listening to your body (& a huge tool for *how*), what perfectionism has taught you & how to love it & let it go, why you will never heal through fear + the power in pain. Stevie believes in empowering you, to empower yourself & we couldn’t love that more. Enjoy this awesome interview!

Today on the show we dig into how to stick to what you believe in and create confidence around your choices with nutrition, lifestyle & how you take care of yourself and your body. Peer pressure & influence from others is a real thing, and especially when you’re just starting out in your health & wellness journey - it can be difficult to stand out, and stand up for yourself. At the end of the day, it’s about making choices you personally feel good about, giving yourself grace to figure out your groove & taking time to do so + focusing on your why, the most important thing behind any decision, habit & choice. Of course we also touch on mindset & discuss the caveat and caution to doing everything *right* - perfectionism, restriction & making sure you allow yourself to be flexible so you can be sustainable + have some fun in your life.

Today we’re talking to Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy Dr. Stephen Cabral. Dr. Cabral begins by sharing his incredible health journey that began when he was 17 years old, and how his discovery of Ayurvedic and Functional Medicine in conjunction with hope and determination, changed his life and turned around multiple conditions and diagnoses.

So we start by digging more into Ayurvedic medicine - where to begin, how can you learn more, and what can you apply to your own life (like nutrition and lifestyle shifts). Then we talk about testing for health conditions, who is a good candidate for testing and when you should test not guess.

Then Dr. Cabral brings up an incredible discussion on the downfall of identifying with our illnesses as our identity and particularly how it correlates with digestion and bloating being psychological and stress-based. He goes into the science of this, and it’s incredibly eye-opening. We all need this quote Dr. Cabral shared with us today: “Everyday in every way I’m getting better and better.”
