If the supplement creatine makes you think of sweaty meatheads at Gold’s Gym, you’re in for a big surprise with this episode. Quite frankly, creatine deserves a totally new marketing campaign. In fact, by the end of recording this episode, we came to the same conclusion as today’s expert guest, Jenna Braddock. Every woman should seriously consider creatine supplements for their physical health, body composition, as well as mental wellness. Jenna not only explains the benefits of creatine, but she also shares exactly how much to take and which type of creatine to buy.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.  

Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

We’re bringing back a favorite—nutrition headlines! And this version just might be our best! In today’s episode, we are sharing four new nutrition studies. There’s new research on bright light treatment and using it for more than just seasonal depression. Are night owls smarter than early risers? Or is being a “morning lark” better? You might not be to blame for your kids’ fussy eating tendencies. And does having a sweet tooth predispose you to some health conditions?

But do great sales mean that it’s worth drinking—and are the so-called benefits of alkaline water like preventing cancer, promoting weight loss or improving bone density legit? That’s what we break down in this very first episode of “waste of money or worth it”?

Have you ever wondered if the color you’re wearing influences people’s impression of you or impacts your productivity that day? Or is there a certain room in your house that’s painted in a color which seems to automatically calm and relax you? Yes, the simple color of a wall or shirt or logo has the ability to alter your emotions and impressions. And really your overall mood. In today’s episode, we’re looking at both warmer and cooler tone colors and how you can use them to your advantage.

When was the last time you thought about iron? It can be an easily overlooked mineral in our diet. Turns out, it deserves a little more attention and fanfare, especially for the role it plays in brain health. In today’s episode we’re talking all about iron, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia. What are the signs of iron deficiency? How much iron do you need? And what’s the best way to get more iron in your diet?
