Ep 2: Embracing REAL food for the Soul
Embrace REAL Food for the Soul!
Are you tired of tracking macros and running on the next best meal plan?
Shannon, the founder of Live Unprocessed, was too, despite being a successful trainer who was "super fit" but "super unhealthy". She discovered that disconnecting food from the soul experience has major consequences.
Live Unprocessed cuts through the chaos to simplify your kitchen and bring the joy back to eating. It all boils down to one powerful principle: EAT REAL FOOD.
We guide you to health through the S.O.U.L. philosophy:
Seasonal
Organic
Unrefined
Local
At Live Unprocessed, we empower you to become the chef of your kitchen by mastering foundational culinary skills—no more relying on 100 Pinterest recipes. Start your journey with a simple reset by eliminating the top inflammatory foods (gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, alcohol, and chemicals) and experience the life-changing relief of eating food that nourishes both your body and your soul.
It’s not about math, it’s about gratitude, joy, and the miraculous simplicity of REAL food.
Food for your Soul is biblical ~ here's one reference I love:
Psalm 104: 1,14-15 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great! ...You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen his heart.
3 action steps:
1. Food Mood Log: write down your meals, your symptoms, and your habits. What trends do you see? What symptoms do you need to expose? Where are you in denial about how your food choices are affecting your wellness? (See Episode 1 if you need a template)
2. Every day this week, choose ONE real food ingredient and take a few moments to notice it’s beauty. The color, smell, texture, flavor ~ maybe look up all the nutrients and ways it helps your body. What are a few ways you can incorporate more of this ingredient into your everyday meals? You can reach out and ask me too ;)
3. Get Creative: Write down your top 3 go-to meals. Can you adjust the ingredients to use more whole food ingredients and less pre-made processed ingredients? Can you keep that recipe but swap a few ingredients or the base to make a “different’ meal? Your own recipe? What challenges you in the kitchen? Where does food become complicated for you? Here is a simple one month calendar template for you to write down your meal wins and then begin to get creative with simple swaps so you can see your month of real food start to come together before your eyes.
