The fall season is upon us, which seems to bring with it the onset of comfort food cravings. But what does comfort food mean to you? For Jessica, it's cheesy baked pasta dishes, but there's often guilt attached to these indulgences. Enter Mary Beth Albright, an award-winning journalist and author of "Eat and Flourish: How Food Supports Emotional Well-Being." Mary Beth challenges the guilt associated with comfort food and emphasizes the profound connection between what we eat and our emotional state.

With a background in public health, government, and law, Mary Beth has spent decades researching the food-mood connection. In this enlightening conversation, she shares insights from her book, which combines serious, evidence-based information with an engaging narrative. Jessica and Mary Beth discuss the complexities of nutrition science, the impact of hustle culture on food choices, and the societal pressures of diet culture.

They also touch on the controversial use of semaglutide and its surprising effects on emotional well-being, challenging the traditional narratives around diet and health. As they explore the feast paradox and the importance of communal dining, Mary Beth encourages listeners to embrace the joy of eating and to reconsider the moral judgments placed on food.
