In this episode of The 2-Minute Bite by FitFoodChick, I’m breaking down why eating “healthy” doesn’t automatically lead to fat loss. I share the most common reasons I see women stall in their progress — from hidden calorie creep to under-eating protein — and explain what actually drives results without extremes.

In this episode, I sit down with registered Dietitian Doug Chironno, MS, RDN for a follow-up conversation on salt, sodium, and heart health—cutting through the noise to focus on what actually matters.

Together, we dive into:

* The history of salt and how it became a dietary staple

* Recommended sodium limits and how excess intake impacts blood pressure

* Practical, evidence-based strategies for lowering sodium without sacrificing flavor

* How herbs, spices, and salt-free seasonings can elevate heart-healthy cooking

Building on Doug’s recent community nutrition workshops, this episode translates nutrition science into real-world guidance you can actually use—whether you’re cooking at home, grocery shopping, or focused on long-term heart health.

If you’re interested in nutrition education, heart health, aging well, or simple, sustainable dietary strategies, this episode is for you.

In this 2-Minute Bite, I’m breaking down the #1 nutrition mistake I see women make when they’re stressed — and one I’ve caught myself doing too. When life feels overwhelming, we often under-eat, over-caffeinate, and push through… only to feel more anxious, exhausted, bloated, and off overall. I explain what’s actually happening in the body, why fueling consistently matters more than eating “perfectly,” and how prioritizing real meals with protein, carbs, and healthy fats can support calmer energy, better mood, and a more regulated nervous system. Because fueling your body isn’t something you earn after a calm day — it’s how you create one.
