EP12: Feel-Good Food: Stress-Busting Snacks and the Truth About Emotional Eating
mardi 3 octobre 2023 • Durée 13:12
Feeling overwhelmed? Work deadlines piling up, endless appointments, and your car refusing to start. We've all been there. 🤷🏻♀️
And when that happens... what’s more tempting than snuggling up on the couch with a gigantic bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream?
But emotional eating doesn't have to be a big problematic issue. There's no rule saying food is only supposed to be fuel for our bodies. For most of us, it's much more than that. It's like a warm, comforting hug for your soul—the taste, the textures, the whole experience of indulging in your favorite dishes.
So, if you find yourself reaching for a snack when you're feeling a bit low, don't worry. It can be completely normal. Feeling guilty only adds to your stress levels. It becomes a concern when it becomes a mindless habit or your only way of coping with emotions.
Learn to build a healthy relationship with emotional eating in this new episode ▶️ Feel-Good Food: Stress-Busting Snacks and the Truth About Emotional Eating
Key points:
[00:00:01] Introduction
[00:01:20] Let food give you a big, delicious, comforting hug for your soul
[00:02:31] Removing the stigma around emotional eating & 3 tips to manage it

EP11: Breaking Up with Plastic: My Journey From Clingy to Clean Living
mardi 12 septembre 2023 • Durée 10:57
When I first started as a fitness competitor, I was so organized about my food. I'd plan my meals, prep them, and stash them in the freezer. Then, each morning, I'd fill up my trusty water bottle, grab a frozen meal, and head out the door – feeling oh so healthy.
I had good intentions, but I later realized I was missing the mark in one big way. I WAS USING A BUNCH OF PLASTIC. ♻️🚯
And what's hiding in all that BPA-free plastic? Potentially harmful chemicals can still leach into your food and drink, causing inflammation and interfering with fitness goals.
But NO MORE. I'm Dr. Venus, and today, I'll share the simple kitchen swaps that helped me reduce plastic use. (And I hope they help you, too!)

mardi 15 août 2023 • Durée 09:02
Back in 2008, I had the incredible opportunity to be a contender on the revival of that legendary TV show, American Gladiators!
Let me tell you, it was a life-changing experience, not because I got to be on TV (which was pretty cool) but because it was during that time that I first tapped into what I now call Gladiator Mode.
I can't wait to tell you how it became my ultimate secret weapon!

[00:01:21] Getting called into action.
So, picture this: It's 2008, and I'm in the middle of doing my rounds at the hospital when my phone starts ringing like crazy. And who is it? Only a producer from the legendary show! Can you imagine the shock? They needed a last-minute substitute because one of the contenders got injured during the competition.
[00:02:21] The Eliminator is a super tough gauntlet of obstacles that put me to the ultimate test. Every muscle in my body was pushed to the limit as I tackled each obstacle. I looked ahead, and my competitor had built up quite the lead and was closing in on the finish line. It seemed like an impossible gap to bridge, but I wasn't about to give up.
[00:04:58] The victory and comeback. Hulk Hogan, the awesome host of the show, joyfully grabbed my hand and raised it high in the air. With a beaming smile, he declared me the winner of this round of American Gladiators. Oh, the incredible rush of emotions I felt at that moment!
