Ep 56: What to Eat When Your Depressed & Anxious

After being diagnosed at depressed 10 years ago and spending a lifetime dealing with anxiety - this is a topic I know well. And it's also something I see in nearly all my private clients. But can the food you eat help? Does it make a difference? And where do you begin?

In this episode I share my own experience and how food helped me over come my own mental health issues. I also focus on how the food we eat impacts our mental health, how we can boost serotonin production and the TWO shifts to make if you are struggling with either of these issues.

Ep 55: Can you lose weight in a loving gentle way?

 

I both love and hate talking about weight loss. I don't want to be part of the body shaming dieting culture we find ourselves in. But at the same time, I've noticed in working with women that their weight is something really personal and important to them. So can you approach weight loss in a gentle way? In a loving way? (That also actually give you results!)

That is what I am talking about in this weeks episode. I will share with you the tool I recommend to help clients connect and love their bodies more PLUS the 4 super practical and strategic thing you can do to help shift any weight that isn't serving your body.

Ep 54: What you need to know about supplements (& which ones you need to take!)

You will probably fall into one of two categories:

1. Supplements are a waste of time and make expensive wee

2. You buy tons of supplements and have a draw full of ones you don't use don't seem to work.

 

As a holistic nutritionist, I rely mainly on food to help people heal, but supplements do play a helpful role for many people. So this week in the podcast I am looking at the basic info you need to know about supplementation. ANNNNDDDD the 2 universal supplements I think are safe for most people.

Enjoy!
