Episode 35: Organic vs. Conventional Foods

10/12/2018

Are you wondering if paying the extra fifty cents for organic bananas is really worth it? Do conventional foods definitely lead to disease...or just maybe? Well Alex and I are here to sort out facts from assumptions as we discuss the merits of organic vs. conventional foods today. More than anything, I just want you to have the information about organic food so you can make a decision for your diet that you're comfortable with. Stay tuned 'til the end where I divulge that buying organic food is not actually a huge priority for me right now!

Linkables discussed in this episode:
Enneagram type descriptions.
Mayo Clinic's definition of organic foods.
The Environmental Working Group's 2018 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
The Non GMO Project's definition of genetically modified organisms.

Episode 34: Mindful Eating

10/5/2018

Lorrie and I dig into the idea of mindful eating today: what it is, how to practice it, and when to make healthy exceptions to the rules...we've both found it to be a transformational approach to eating and we hope you will too! Listen in and sit back to enjoy what's on your table today.

Episode 33: Fall Produce

9/28/2018

Jackie and I don't think there's anything "Basic" about pumpkins as a nutrient rich, delicious fall vegetable! That's right, today we're diving into some of our favorite fall produce, complete with a round of stump the cook. But first, we take some time to check in on mental health and discuss medication and stigma in a way that I hope will encourage you! Also, at the time of our recording, Inside Trader Joe's was only a mini-series, but their team has since dropped new episodes...yay! See the link below.

Linkables discussed in this episode:
Inside Trader Joe's.
My pumpkin chili and whole grain cornbread muffins recipes.

Episode 32: Prenatal Movement

9/21/2018

Our journey with Ingrid and her pregnancy continues today as we discuss what movement can look like during each trimester of pregnancy. Ingrid is our level-headed and humble pregnant sherpa as she stays open to how delivery and a postpartum body will be! She also trusts us with the sad mention of her experience with miscarriage and while we don't spend much time getting into the topic on today's show, we both care that it's handled with the attention and sensitivity it deserves, so I'll link to two super encouraging episodes on this topic from other podcasts:

Miscarriages: You Are Not Alone, on Katie's Crib.
Ep. 144 Grieving with Hope with Adriel Booker on Sorta Awesome.

Listen to Episode 32 in iTunes, the Apple Podcasts app, or Stitcher.

Episode 31: Snacks!

9/14/2018

Alex and I are here for the snacks! We had so much fun talking about nostalgic favorites, quizzing each other on why our bodies might be craving the particular snacks they are, and even digging into the idea of when not to snack. I know you're going to relate to something in today's episode because what occurred to me as I listened back was how universal this topic is. Most of us in this country are so blessed to have an abundance of food and we want to steward that abundance well...which makes snacking a topic worth spending time on!

Linkables discussed in this episode:
Episode 6: Cravings.

Jackie and I always have a good time recording together...but today's episode is extra special, in my opinion. We came into the conversation expecting to discuss age. Which we did! But the conversation evolved into something even more timely. All I can say is listen in if you want to know what it feels like for Jackie to preach (and you do)! I'm so glad to call her friend.

Whether you're pregnant or just fascinated with pregnancy and childbirth (which I admit is the boat I've been in since the age of ten), then you're going to love this season's episodes featuring Ingrid. Each time we chat, she and I will be discussing some aspect of health in the pregnancy or postpartum seasons. Today, that's prenatal nutrition!

Ever standing upon our truth that there is no one-size-fits-all diet, Ingrid and I are sure curious to dive into conventional prenatal nutrition advice that suspiciously seems to be the same for all women. Hear how she's advocating for her own health and deciding what's best for her OMS lifestyle diet.

Are you pregnant? We'd love to connect with you personally and cheer you on in the journey! Leave a comment, send us a message, connect with Ingrid here on her website, or find me over on Instagram.

As promised many times in season 1, Alex and I are excited to finally share this episode on my movement philosophy...she asks me some good questions, challenges me well, and graciously encourages this philosophy that has helped me to find freedom in the way I'm working my body. It's a good listen especially if you're someone who feels stuck in the area of exercise!

Linkables discussed in this episode:
Face Mapping.
Yoga with Adriene.

What's your philosophy when it comes to exercise/movement? Do you favor one approach over the other? We'd love to know! Leave a comment, send us a message, or connect with me over on Instagram @ifeelsupernourished.

Episode 26: Stress!

Episode 26

File Type:	mp3

If you're a human listening to this podcast, you've experienced stress. How do we know that? Because stress is a normal (neutral--not good, not bad) human response! This is just one of the angles on stress Lorrie and I are excited to share with you today. It's an important episode to me, since getting stress in check is something I consider a pillar for personal health.

In editing, I found a point I wanted to clarify here in the show notes. I mentioned that when I am anxious, I can feel adrenaline in my arms and legs. Actually, what I am/we are feeling is the increased blood flow triggered by adrenaline in those moments. Just wanted to correct myself so you have the right information!

Linkables discussed in this episode:
Dr. Libby Weaver's website.
Pressed Juicery.
