Welcome to our first episode of The Talk, our member-only bonus episode series! One of our most common requests is to go weekly, and the best way we have found to make that possible is by launching The Foodie Fam Membership. This is our way of staying true our mission by being selective about which sponsors we accept, while still being able to give you guys the content you’ve been asking for!

In this first episode, Eddie and Juna reflect on their own mental health struggles and how exercise and nutrition played a role in their recovery. As we discussed last week, improving diet quality might help your mental health, but if it’s taken too far, it might actually hurt your mental health.

Is The Food You're Eating Making You Depressed?

CLICK HERE for tickets and all event details!

Most of us know that food affects our weight and energy levels, but what if the food you are eating is actually having a profound impact on your mental health as well? New research suggests that eating unhealthily might actually play a causal role in mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. In this episode, we speak to Professor Felice Jacka from Deakin University in Australia about her ground-breaking research into improving mental health just by improving lifestyle factors. What if you could feel less depressed by just eating better? This summer, there are more important reasons to eat better than just "looking good on the beach."

What The Heck Is Mindful(ish) Eating ft. The Nutrition Diva

You probably hear about mindful eating all the time, but maybe you think to yourself, how am I actually supposed to do this? There are so many things that are making us mind-LESS eaters: our phones, our food environment, our obsessive food tracking. In a world of calorie trackers and endless TikToks to scroll through, how can we learn to be more mindful eaters, enjoy our food more, and maybe even make better food choices in the process? Today, we talk to Monica Reinagel, The Nutrition Diva, all about mindful-ish eating.
