The Nutrition Hangout

Detoxification is essential to living a healthy life. Environmental toxins, processed foods, food containers, construction materials, and even relationships can all cause toxic build-up in the body. I talk about how to tell if you need a detox, what foods can support you, what supplements to choose, and how to tell if your relationship is toxic.

I'm very excited about this interview because Dr. Eilers provides so much insight into why eating isn't just about weight it's also about our brains. Did you know your brain can shrink if you aren't providing enough sustenance? We also get into why we experience cycles of thoughts and how to get out of spinning and control our own narrative. There are so many more topics we cover but we also dive into Dr. Eilers' book he is writing and why it's different than every self-help book on the market. Check it out!

Are you wanting to eat healthier but finding it impossible to enjoy healthy foods? Broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, tomatoes, peaches, plums, apples, and any other fresh food may have you scrunching your nose and not wanting to partake. I talk about how to get over the hurdles of changing your lifestyle and enjoying a healthy diet and also how to retrain your tastebuds so you aren't reaching for processed fatty and sugary foods again and again. 

October 10th was World Mental Health day. Usually, I wouldn't even think about this day and it would go by without a thought. But that is not true as of this year. I've had debilitating anxiety that has manifest for me this year and it is very difficult to manage as a mom during a pandemic. Many would consider it was because I became a mom in a pandemic but either way, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm talking about my journey with anxiety and panic attacks and how I've navigated my mental health since January.

We feel shame as a normal human emotion but sometimes shame begins to have its own voice in our head and we start to believe its negative narrative. This can create low self-esteem, a lack of vulnerability, and we can make decisions about the negative feelings we have. I talk about how we get to this place and my top tips for how to get out of it and love the body you are in. I think that in the health industry we don't always push body positivity, but we need to help people love their bodies before any change can happen. 

Kayla, a professional triathlete, talks about how she took her athletic career and turned it into a business.

Kayla also speaks about the importance of nutrition and how to properly fuel your body, whether you are competing or just sitting on the couch!

I had two listeners send in questions to me about what my opinion was on nutrition confusion and Miley Cyrus no longer being vegan. I talk about how nutrition professionals are failing the public with nutrition confusion and what that nutrition confusion looks like. I also give examples of what nutrition we should all be agreeing on, but somehow, do not.

He gives us a little behind the scenes of what it is like cooking on a yacht while also filming a reality TV show.
