In today’s episode, I’m diving into the real-life gentle nutrition habits I’ve recently embraced to show you what it truly looks like to honor your body’s needs without falling into the trap of diet culture perfectionism. From smoothies to matcha to supplements, I walk through approachable, sustainable changes that align with the reality of life as a busy parent. I also addresses diet culture’s fearmongering around calories, carbs, and blood sugar, busting myths with science and compassion.
Covered in this episode:
- Why smoothies can support blood sugar regulation (yes, even when blended!)
- How intuitive eating respects your body’s capacity, not perfection
- The surprising truth about fiber in smoothies
- Why Bonnie added a fish oil supplement—and how she made that decision
- Exploring matcha as a gentle nutrition swap for coffee with acid reflux
- How real-life barriers (like time and energy) can shape sustainable choices
- The role of satisfaction, variety, and attunement in gentle nutrition
This episode is packed with validation and helpful nuance, especially if you’re overwhelmed by nutrition advice or feel like your goals keep “failing.”
