We Feel Super Nourished!

What's the first thing you do when you feel a cold coming on?  Alex and I here to talk about just that today...but not only do we want to respond to adverse symptoms well, we want to do our best to prevent them from ever coming on!  Listen in as we tackle tips for longterm immunity, just in time for cold and flu season.  PLUS I'm so excited to share a big life update with you all this week in Nourishing Highs and Lows!

Lorrie and I are here to give you the bird's eye view into gut health today!  What's the difference between the gut, the gut microbiome, and a leaky gut?  Well hang on to your hats because we're going there!  More important than the technical definitions though is the way in which our conversation unraveled to reveal that there's room for everyone on the journey to gut health...whether you're just beginning to consider tackling issues like gas or whether you're ready to commit to a new gut-healing lifestyle diet.

Have you been experiencing a batch of mystery symptoms or been wondering if there's a food you're sensitive to?  Jackie and I quickly discovered that, in true nourishing vocabulary fashion, we'd much prefer to call this the Identification Diet...but for ease of conversation, we're sticking with the classic name for this nutrition project that helps participants identify food sensitivities in a foolproof way.  Today's episode is information heavy for those who have been wondering what all the fuss is with the elimination diet!  But it's also heavy on personal anecdotes as I share my most recent experience with identifying food sensitivities.  (It worked, by the way.  I'm so glad to be feeling good when I eat again!)

Ingrid has her baby girl in her arms!  Congratulations, friend.  We snuck in one more recording before she began her maternity leave and had fun brainstorming ideas for setting baby up to make great food choices.  I love how whenever we've talked about children on the show, the themes of grace and balance come up.  Because at the end of the day, there is no one right way for adults to eat...so there won't be one right way for kids to eat either!

Are you wondering if paying the extra fifty cents for organic bananas is really worth it?  Do conventional foods definitely lead to disease...or just maybe?  Well Alex and I are here to sort out facts from assumptions as we discuss the merits of organic vs. conventional foods today.  More than anything, I just want you to have the information about organic food so you can make a decision for your diet that you're comfortable with.  Stay tuned 'til the end where I divulge that buying organic food is not actually a huge priority for me right now!

Lorrie and I dig into the idea of mindful eating today: what it is, how to practice it, and when to make healthy exceptions to the rules...we've both found it to be a transformational approach to eating and we hope you will too!  Listen in and sit back to enjoy what's on your table today.

Jackie and I don't think there's anything "Basic" about pumpkins as a nutrient rich, delicious fall vegetable!  That's right, today we're diving into some of our favorite fall produce, complete with a round of stump the cook.  But first, we take some time to check in on mental health and discuss medication and stigma in a way that I hope will encourage you!  Also, at the time of our recording, Inside Trader Joe's was only a mini-series, but their team has since dropped new episodes...yay!  See the link below.

Our journey with Ingrid and her pregnancy continues today as we discuss what movement can look like during each trimester of pregnancy.  Ingrid is our level-headed and humble pregnant sherpa as she stays open to how delivery and a postpartum body will be!  She also trusts us with the sad mention of her experience with miscarriage and while we don't spend much time getting into the topic on today's show, we both care that it's handled with the attention and sensitivity it deserves, so I'll link to two super encouraging episodes on this topic from other podcasts:

Miscarriages: You Are Not Alone, on Katie's Crib.

Ep. 144 Grieving with Hope with Adriel Booker on Sorta Awesome.

Alex and I are here for the snacks!  We had so much fun talking about nostalgic favorites, quizzing each other on why our bodies might be craving the particular snacks they are, and even digging into the idea of when not to snack.  I know you're going to relate to something in today's episode because what occurred to me as I listened back was how universal this topic is.  Most of us in this country are so blessed to have an abundance of food and we want to steward that abundance well...which makes snacking a topic worth spending time on!

Lorrie and I can't wait to share with you our best tricks and methods for getting the fresh start that so many of us crave after less structured summer months.  Whether you need inspiration to stick with those New Year's intentions you set ages ago (or so it seems), or you need help figuring out why the goals haven't panned out as you'd dreamed, we have hope for you!  Let's dig in and get back on track together.
