EP99: You are What you Eat

Small Habits Big Changes

Eating nutritious meals is the third leg of My Stable Table – my personal wellness regimen that I’ve developed and fine-tuned since I kicked my sugar habit thirty years ago. And in today’s episode, I’m hopefully giving you plenty of healthy advice to chew on.

It’s about more than just eating healthily, for starters. Where are we sourcing our food from, how closely are we scrutinizing the labels, and how are we substituting unhealthy options for healthier choices (e.g., fruit instead of sugar) as we build momentum and take control of what we consume?

There’s also a community element to consider as we get creative and combine preparing and sharing meals with friends and family, developing cooking rosters, and freezing backup meals for those days when life gets in the way and we need a healthy meal in an instant.

Please join me as I unpack what nutritious meals look like as part of your healthy eating plan — and part of your My Stable Table. Connecting over food is a great human experience. Let us remind ourselves of that.

“When I got to cutting out processed sweets (you know M&Ms and things like that), I just went straight to fruit. Every time I had a sweet tooth, I would replace it with fruit.” ~ Marcell Hanson
