Simply Balanced with Taylor Grasso

This episode was inspired by an article that I saw from the Today show about a woman who felt like "she was doing everything right, but not losing the weight." I think more than one woman can relate to that feeling. The more that I've thrown myself into learning about women's health, hormones and PCOS the more I realize that women aren't tiny men and our bodies handle stress and stress responses different from men which is why "eating less and moving more" does not always work. Leading into January 1st I wanted to leave you with this thought process so that you don't feel like you have to jump into a new crazy diet. :) love ya!

In this episode Taylor dives deep into discussing strategies to manage intuitive eating around the holidays. The holidays can be stressful for many reasons, but food shouldn't be one of them! This should be a time of year to enjoy memories and time with friends and family, not be anxious about food.

If you've been wondering where the podcast has been or why my grocery hauls have seemed a little off brand, it's because I have been in the first trimester trenches, I can't believe I'm finally saying this out loud, but I'm pregnant! We dive into all the big questions: were we trying? Does the Oura ring actually work (lol), how we've been feeling, some of my weirdest cravings and aversions, and we end the episode with a few old wives tales leaving you guessing on the gender because we already know, hehe!

In this episode, I dive into my year long reflection of going to therapy on a weekly basis and how it's changed my life. After about a month in therapy I received an ADHD diagnosis after years of being misdiagnosed with anxiety. It's been so validating to understand how and why my brain works a certain way, how to regulate my emotions better, and how it's helped improve my relationships in so many ways. I will forever be thankful for starting therapy and hope this helps someone if they are scared to start but know they need too - it's okay to ask for help! <3

The goal of this episode is to give a variety of tips in each category - don't feel like you have start everything all at once, rather ask yourself the question: "what would the version of myself 6 months from now want me to do?" then break down those habits into small, bite-sized chunks.

A popular question: can you lose weight when pursuing intuitive eating? The answer: well the details are in the episode ;-) but the answer is yes you certainly can, but it's not the main goal of intuitive eating and never will be. You can gain, lose, or maintain. The goal of intuitive eating is finding where your body is naturally most 'metabolically fit' and 'healthy.'

In this episode, I dive into the origins of intuitive eating as well as the 10 principles that intuitive eating is founded on. Within these 10 principles, there's a variety of different ways to incorporate these thoughts and mindsets into your life. My favorite principle to talk about is #10, gentle nutrition and is basically the foundation of my social media, but the most important one to get you started is #1, rejecting the diet mentality. I hope you love this one!

Today's episode features my husband Zack talking about his type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Zack was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost a year ago now. For those that don't know, T1DM is an autoimmune condition where his pancreas stops producing insulin, meaning that he will be insulin dependent for the rest of his life. He either uses shots or a pump, luckily, his lifestyle didn't have to change too much because he has a dietitian as a wife. ;) But, thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy this one and learn a little something new!

This episode dives into all of the macronutrients, how our bodies utilize them, and how our bodies benefit them. One of the major points I try to drive home on my platforms is switching the mindset around food from "calories, making me smaller, it's the enemy" to "how does this food benefit my body in a positive way and how is my body using these foods?" I break down each of the three macronutrients and their benefits for the body.
