That's Healthy?! – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why there needs to be more to your nutritional approach than just “listening to your body.” What if your body is telling you something that isn’t accurate? What if your appetite cues are off? Does that mean you shouldn’t eat because you’re listening to your body? 

Being in tune with your body is important, but it can send you subjective signals influenced by several outside variables. So many things affect our hunger hormones, like sleep and stress. Building a foundation of a balanced, nourishing, satisfying diet will help you stay on track and fuel your body well, no matter the outside variables. With the right information and experience, you can trust yourself to make nutritional decisions that are right for you instead of just trusting your body.

In this episode, I’m detailing a struggle that has come up for multiple clients of mine this week. I’m talking through just how normal it is to fluctuate with water weight and how exactly that happens. So many things impact what we see on the scale, and I’m diving deep into many of those things. How do we get back to feeling normal when we see that fluctuation? I’ll cover that with nutritional resilience.

I am so excited about today’s topic. I have been thinking about it for years, especially in the last 8 months now that my daughter is here with me. In today’s episode, I am talking about how I am consciously modeling a healthy relationship with food and nutrition for my daughter and potentially growing family. This is so important because I truly feel like I set the tone for this aspect of life for my family. I think this is the case for a lot of women. I’ll talk through 5 ways that I am modeling a healthy relationship with food and 5 things I am consciously trying not to do.

Today, we are covering quality versus quantity. It’s the classic question, "Is what I’m eating more important, or how much I’m eating the most important?” SPOILER! They’re both really important when we look at the overall picture of your nutrition and your dietary habits. We’re talking about the quality versus the quantity of food you eat and what can influence those things. We’ll also dive into being upfront about your personal goals, as that’s the most important thing for where you want to place your highest priority regarding quality or quantity.

Today's episode is all about satiety. We are talking about what it is, how it works, and why it is important. This is one of those terms that I feel like has been thrown around a lot in the nutrition space, but I haven’t seen a great explanation of why it matters to you and how we can build our diet around it. Creating satiety in your diet truly is a cornerstone to creating sustainability in your diet.
