We discuss her journey with food, free tools you can use right now, and her Mindful Nutrition Method pillars that have helped thousands of people cultivate balanced eating habits for life. This program is one of the few that actually creates long-term, sustainable, healthy habits surrounding food, nutrition, wellness, and health. You won’t want to miss her teachings that move the needle in feeling good in your body.

    How to Be a Lazy Genius in the Kitchen with Kendra Adachi

When this game-changing concept is applied to our kitchens, it allows us to find long-term success in cooking and eating at every life stage. Listen in to this engaging interview with self-proclaimed professional permission-giver and kind, big sister of the internet, for a sneek peek into her newest book and why it’s a reference guide chock full of frameworks, tools, and other practical and inspiring tips that people can reach for again and again no matter the season of life.

Simple and actionable

I love this podcast. I have listened over the last couple of years. It has been my go-to for long walks in the park during quarantine. Robyn offers methods and steps that are tangible and actionable. I don’t think I have found that with most other “wellness” platforms. My favorite episodes are with her alone, not with external guests. Appreciate that her advice is backed up by research! I hope she brings new episodes back in the future.

Super inspiring.

I fell upon Robyn’s instagram and checked out her podcast and was immediately inspired. She’s super intelligent, positive, and creative. I listen to the podcast on my lunch break (I have a little one at home so it’s a good time and uninterrupted) and am filled with ideas on how to add little things to my daily routine to help me feel good. Robyn is inspiring and also is just “real” - she knows we all have good and bad days, but there are many ways to brighten them up.

Love Love Love!!

I listen to your show on my way to work. It’s such a positive start to my day and I love learning about so many topics that help in life.
Thank you!
