We get it - diet culture sucks! It has created a hostile environment where fat phobia is stigmatized and thin privilege reigns supreme. This results in an overall dysfunctional relationship with food and it's no surprise society has now come to reject the 36"-24"-36" measurements of "beauty". Intuitive Eating (IE) rejects diet culture and promotes the love of self, and the love of all foods. While it is true we should respect our bodies and honor our health, social media has painted only a small fragment of what IE really is. Spoiler alert: it's not all about having a second helping of apple pie or eating a cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. IE is a DEEP framework based on ten guiding principles that can be applied for someone who has diabetes, high cholesterol, and other metabolic diseases. In today's episode we have Ayana Habtemariam MSW, RDN, LD who is a Certified Intuitive Eating counselor here to answer all our burning questions about the truth behind IE.

Recently we discussed foods that we and others have heard described as “White People Food”.  Although not referred to in the same manner, there are foods that people like to think of as "black people food". Truthfully these foods are more synonymous with the south than they are with a particular race. Southern states like Georgia, Mississippi  and Alabama eat these so called "black people foods" and they are very popular among all races in those states.  To take this a step further, is 'unhealthy' the appropriate term to describe these foods?  While it is true that preparation is important when it comes to cooking and health management, do we have to remove all of the foods that black communities love and are traditions in their family? In today's episode we have a guest dietitian, Ladarius Madison, who was born and raised in Alabama. He’s going to discuss with us reasons why some foods are categorized as "black people food”, should we make changes to our cultural food favs, and how health professionals can help.

Question? Are there foods that you really don’t care to eat cause you categorize them as “white people food”? Do those so called “white people food” create an unattainable picture of health? Well, however you choose to answer this question this is the exact way the HuffPost presented this question in a 2018 article (see link below). Let's be real when you think about brussel sprouts, quinoa, and cauliflower rice versus sweet potato pie, collard greens, and black -eyed peas, is there a racial divide in your mind? In today's episode we have a guest dietitian, Lindsay Smith, who  practices in East Harlem, who will share with us issues on food culture, gentrification, and answer the question, does white people food really exist? Oh, and for those of you wondering - Lindsay is a white dietitian.

TGIT! Thank God it's Tuesday and the last episode for season 1. By know you should know Johane is a Haitian mama of 4 boys living in Atlanta, Georgia and Kim is a Jamaican vegan who lives in the boonies somewhere in Florida; but there's still some information you don't know. Like how'd we meet? Why Johane had a pet chicken? Why Kim is an ISFJ-A / ISFJ-T? Health and wellness trends we love to hate, fake food news and why PETA may come for us after listening to this episode (PETA please don't!). As two introverts letting you in on this information this is a huge deal. Since this is the last episode of the year we thought... well, why not!

We both grew up watching our mothers wash their meats. No, not with soap and water, but with lemon juice, vinegar, sour orange, and other acidic substances. Recently, the USDA  came out with an article stating people are putting themselves at risk when they wash or rinse raw poultry, or any meat for that matter. What do you think? Do you wash your meats? For us it’s very much a part of our cultures and to be honest with both us being ServSafe certified we are torn. It is our belief washing your meat is an integral component to the Afro-Carribean, Afro-American, and Latin cultures as well. 

In today’s episode learn: 

-How to avoid food borne illness

-Ideal pH for bacteria to grow on meat

-If you should really should stop washing your meat

Men are psychologically and physiologically different from women. Think of one man in your life an answer these questions: are they intuned to their emotions? are they a risk taker? do they value their health? If you answered "no", "yes", "no" then congratulations --- you're most likely dealing with a typical man. Focusing a little more on health did you know males are the weaker sex throughout life in that aspect. When it comes to health, the health of black men ranks lowest across nearly all racial groups in the United States.  The burning question is WHY? In todays episode we are going to go on an exploration by looking at the history of health as it relates to black men and a few case studies from our personal encounters with the men in our lives.

Learn:

-Why the Tuskegee Study and others similar to it have been detrimental to the health of black men even in 2019.

- How women can encourage men to adhere to a healthy lifestyle.

The vegan diet has become very popular in the last few years.  Everyone is talking about it!

For instance, did your know that beer, Oreos, Fritos and Pop-Tarts are all vegan? I mean don’t get us wrong, being a vegan is a great lifestyle live, but is it for everyone and does it equate to health? 

In todays episode learn:

* The difference between veganism and a plant-based diet

* The pros and cons of consuming meat substitutes

* How to be a healthy vegan

* Healthy swaps to incorporate more plants into your diet
