We so often hear about why stress is bad. Stress is toxic! Stress will give you a heart attack! Stress is the burden you’ll never, ever be able to shake. Ok, yes. Stress can do all of those things and more, but to liberate yourself from the box of “all stress is bad stress”… you first have to learn why some stress is GOOD stress. Like, what does stress offer us? How can we understand the signals in our bodies when we are feeling stressed? Basically, if you’ve ever felt stressed out before or GUILTY for feeling stressed out–this is the episode for you!

Essential Omnivore Podcast

In episode 27 of the Essential Omnivore Podcast, I describe why gaining 20+ pounds made me happier over the last year. Tune in to learn more about my top five reasons why weight gain made me happier, and learn the backstory about my reluctance to discuss weight loss, weight gain, and body mass on social media (but why I talk about it with private nutrition clients!)

Do you notice how your body weight fluctuates? What are the drivers? How does society make you feel about your body being a responsive masterpiece? Too often we’re boxed into the category of being a static object. Being unchanging makes the world a neat and tidy place. Like we can Marie Kondo ourselves into perfection. But, ah. We’re always shifting and morphing! So, instead, how can we make sure that we can join WITH our bodies? That we can embrace their changing nature as just that–nature? Listen on for my ideas.

In this episode:

Jessica Flanigan works in the unified field of Loving. What is this, you may ask? Jessica has been a clinical nutritionist for 20 years and works privately with clients to support their unique path to health. She often works with clients who experience differences in their chronic or autoimmune health. Today Jessica and I discuss what Loving is, and how this practice, term and experience can support any person as they navigate the path that is their life, and their health. I cannot wait for you to listen to this one.

So often in the nutrition and wellness world we can become divided over the “best” diet, the most healing protocols, or the most pure or clean styles of eating. These divides, and this reductionistic style of thinking when it comes to health unfortunately leaves out one big piece of wellness–heart! Your heart, your soul, these more nebulous concepts DO impact your wellness. Today, Jessica teaches us how this is, and what to do.

Tis the season where we’re all thinking about… DIETS! YIKES.

Here are my five questions I need you to ask yourself before stepping on the diet train… and wait for it… listen to the full episode because there’s a spoiler at the end…

• What are my intentions?

• Is this change short term or long term?

• Does this change try to erase my current lifestyle?

• When I am tired, overwhelmed or feel out of sorts, does this plan take those factors into account? (or is it only manageable on perfect days)

• Do I have a support system in place?
