From Stress to Sanity through Food Consciousness, part 2

Reversing Hashimoto's with Nutrition

I’m really excited about today’s episode about Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and its influence on food & mood for a few reasons: first, the topic is fascinating and really important to a number of people, and also because I’m thrilled to introduce everyone to my guest, Sunny Brigham. Sunny is a board-certified clinical & integrative nutritionist with a Masters in Nutrition & Integrative Health and is a Certified Nutrition Specialist. She helps women reduce fatigue, eliminate bloat, and lose weight by focusing on healing the digestive tract and repairing their relationship with food. Full disclosure: Sunny and I went through grad school and clinical supervision together, so we can carry on for days! But, I really wanted Sunny to come on the podcast because she is well-versed in hypothyroid management and putting Hashimoto's into remission, which is where we’re going to focus today’s episode of the Food-Mood Files.

Feeding the Teen Brain

I’m thrilled to have Naturopathic Doctor and Teen Advocate, Dr. Erin TeWinkel with us today. Dr. TeWinkel is on a mission to improve teen wellness and tear down the stigma surrounding what adolescence is really all about. She helps families create environments where everyone thrives through this period rather than just trying to survive it. She also offers education surrounding teens and their ever-changing bodies by focusing on hormonal struggles, acne, painful periods, anxiety, depression, dieting/diet culture, and healthy bodies, healthy brains. The focus of today's episode is how we can support teens to fuel AND support positive body image.

Elimination: The Gold Standard

The Elimination Diet is a useful tool in my practice, but it's not for everyone. This episode was recorded from a presentation I gave to fellow health practitioners on the usefulness of this tool and my own approach in delivering it to avoid all of those feelings of restriction that its name brings up. This episode includes the following topics: * What is an elimination diet. * Who can benefit from an elimination diet. * Who should NOT try an elimination diet. * How to customize your elimination experience. * How mindset plays a large part in success. * How an elimination diet can kick-start your health journey.

5 Valuable Takeaways from 2020

Today's episode is a solo recording where I share my observations from 2020 and invite you to set an intention for 2021. From stress-handling to body intuition, this year has shown us that we may not be in control - but that doesn't mean that there aren't important things that we CAN control.  This is our last episode of the year as we lead into a break for the holidays. New episodes will start up again in January.
