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.

There are so many more topics we cover but we also dive...

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 bric...

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 h...

I have shared our journey with adoption, but I've never shared why or how we got to the choice of adoption and what the process was really like. I open the flood gates of information about my life for the last six years. I'm vulnerable about IUI, IVF, trauma, PTSD, international adoption, and foster care adoption. I get real about the pain of trying to have a family and not being successful. ...

I have been hearing talk about shame recently with regard to black lives matter, politics, and our choices. This really got me to thinking about nutritional shame. We shame ourselves for breaking from our diet for one meal. We shame ourselves for having that one cup of ice cream. We shame ourselves for having a basket of french fries. How do we stop that little voice in our head from dismantling o...

We are often afraid to think about our future selves. Are we going to end up where we have planned or will life throw a wrench in it? It can be scary to look in the mirror and realize how many years have gone by and we are different. That fear can keep us from thinking about where we will be in 30 years. I'm here to give you advice on how to think about your body's future and set up a healthful re...

I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Jamie in the fall and couldn't resist asking him to come on the podcast and share his career as a professional athlete. The Middlesbrough native talks about the start of his career, what it was like to play football in the British army at the young age of 15, being bought out to play as a civilian, and his experience with nutrition as an athlete.

He discusses his story of adoption, he shares his journey as an educator to a Superintendent, he explains his experience with systemic racism in his personal and professional life, and we wrap up with his experience as my client.  Grab a cup of coffee and sit back and relax for th...

I accidentally started reaping the benefits of a morning work out and I had no idea that these benefits would even come from a morning workout. I probably would have started sooner had I known that my day would get so much better. I highly recommend everyone waking up earlier for their sweat session so they can have a better day mentally, emotionally, and physically!

I started looking back at pictures of my son and I realized how much he has changed in just one month, and one of those changes is how much chunkier he is! I knew he was eating in his foster home but I was wondering if he may have been malnourished based on the foods he was eating. Then I started to wonder, are we as adults malnourished if we rely on processed foods? Enter UNICEF and their new foo...

I answer questions and I also talk about sending the message of finishing your plate to your kids and what you are teaching them.&nb...

Everyone says you are what you eat, but what if you think what you eat? Can processed food and refined sugar make you a Debbie downer and fresh fruits and vegetables make you a happy holly (just made up that last part)?  I talk all about nutrition psychology and the mind-gut connection that affects more than just feeling hangry!
