Episode 19
Julie and Catherine, get candid about their mental health odysseys, and it's all in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week. As we swap tales, Catherine reveals her skirmish with anxiety, the beacon of hope medications offered, and how acupuncture, reflexology, and even the invigorating shock of cold water therapy have been cornerstones in her arsenal for mental serenity. Julie, on the other hand, provides an intriguing contrast, with her genetic predisposition to anxiety and depression. She offers insight into the unintentional yet proactive measures she's taken that fortify her neurotransmitter pathways, a testament to the subtle power of genetics in our mental health landscape.
This heart-to-heart conversation also serves up a feast of thought on how our diets directly influence our mental wellbeing — a 12-week study proving as our prime exhibit. Waking up to mornings that nurture the mind is another treasure trove we uncover, with practical nuggets like savoring the day's first coffee and the mindful avoidance of digital pitfalls. As we share our personal morning rituals, we highlight the importance of movement, meditation, and even a splash of matcha, underscoring the profound impact these have on setting the stage for a resilient day ahead. Our chorus of experiences converge on the notion that it's the simple, daily choices we make, like joining a choir, that echo loudly in the halls of our mental health. Join us as we navigate these pathways and perhaps, find your own stride in this symphony of mental wellness.
Here is the link to the food and mood study mentioned (it's actually called the Smiles trial).

The End of Dieting: A New Approach to Eating
Episode 18
Ever wondered if the food on your plate aligns perfectly with your body's needs? On Far Too Fabulous, we tear down the myth that there's a universal diet that works for everyone, diving into our own stories of meaty meals, the leap into vegetarianism, and the quirks that come with changing eating habits. As we swap tales from our personal experiences, from genetic quirks affecting nutrient absorption to the challenge of ensuring teenagers get the right fuel, we'll guide you through the maze of dietary decisions, revealing why balance might just be your best friend.
Guest Catherine joins me to unravel the tangled web of nutritional advice—where "low-fat" often masks sugar-laden pitfalls and where the journey to healthy eating is riddled with marketing myths and political pressure. We spill the beans on the reality of dieting communities, the truth about good fats, and how an educated approach to food can transform your relationship with every bite. Add to that a sprinkle of strategies for mindful eating, and you'll see why your kitchen could be the starting line for a revolution in your health.
As our conversation simmers to a close, we feast on the idea that variety is the spice of life—especially when it comes to fruits and veggies. I'll share my love for eating with utensils as a tactic to keep snacks in check, and we'll debate the organic food scene, pondering whether it's worth the extra green. By the end of our chat, you'll be armed with the know-how to eat seasonally, save money, and indulge in the joy of discovering what foods make your body hum with vitality. Join us at the table, and let's make every meal count!
