From the overwhelming choices at the grocery store to the guilt of what we put on our plates, our anxiety surrounding food is REAL.

Whether you’re exhausted by the choices, confused by conflicting information, frustrated by the costs, or just trying to do the best you can, this episode is for you. It’s important to stay informed and make healthy choices, but I believe it is equally important to not stress excessively about food. Call me crazy but I think stress can actually negate the benefits of even the healthiest diets — whatever diet that might be.

In this episode I also dig in to the privilege associated with being able to worry about food choices in the first place. This is a reminder that not everyone has the luxury of choosing between organic and non-organic, or even knowing what they’ll have for their next meal. I hope this episode will encourage empathy and understanding towards others who might be in different stages of life or facing different challenges.

As you listen, I don’t know if you will nod along, or feel a sense of relief, or think I’m out of my lane. But I hope this episode will inspire you to make the best choices you can, while also giving yourself (and others!) grace and understanding. (Main topic starts at 5:20)
