    Giving up Diets with Australian Nutritionist Jessica Sepel

    Australian Nutritionist Jessica Sepel the wellness expert behind the JSHealth brand is here today to talk about giving up diets to heal our relationship with food and begin practicing balance and moderation. In this episode of the Clean Eating for Women podcast, we talk about:   How fad diets lead to deprivation and an unhealthy relationship with food Jessica shares her painful journey of having an eating disorder The difference between being weight conscious and health conscious Some highlights of this episode on giving up diets: Jessica Sepel is a clinical nutritionist and health author of two books. She is passionate about her relationship with food. Her brand JSHealth stands for finding balance and freedom with food. [01:28] Jessica was trapped in the fad diet world for years. Diets associated with restriction and deprivation always backfire. These create a vicious cycle where you have a really complicated relationship with food. There is another way to achieve a healthy life. [02:33] How disordered eating came about in Jessica's life. She started fad dieting at 14 and continued for 10 years. She developed an eating disorder and disconnected with her body. She developed fear and anxiety about her weight. [03:29] Jessica studied nutrition and started a blog about her journey of becoming a more whole foods and balanced eater. She slowly started to heal her relationship with food. She also went to therapy and discovered recipes that made her feel good. [05:21] The blog began as a personal journal. Her husband said she should make the blog live and use it as a tool to get new patients. Women will relate to the incredibly open and vulnerable story. She made the blog live six months after starting her writing, and she got 20,000 visitors. The positive feedback was motivating. [08:02] She began coaching and really got to see what women were going through in real life. The blog took off and she doesn't practice in the clinic anymore, but she loves her larger platform. [10:38] Jessica believes in a balanced moderation approach that is completely realistic to every person's life. None of the advice is unattainable. [13:06] How restrictive diets are so hard to stick to over the long term. Many people can't go past three to six months. Then they start binging or obsessing about food. They are just not sustainable. [16:03] How we are all so chemically unique. We have to think about what diet works best for our bodies and stop disconnecting and listening to all of the diet advice that doesn't fit our unique selves. We know best.

    Healthy Travel Tips with Kale in the Clouds Creator Rosie Tran

    Rosie Tran is the world's healthiest flight attendant. She is the creator of Kale in the Clouds and has an amazing instagram account. Today, we will be talking about healthy travel tips and how Rosie takes care of herself while being 33,000 feet in the air. In this episode of the Clean Eating for Women podcast, we talk about:   How being a flight attendant has allowed Rosie to get out of her comfort zone Rosie's balanced approach to food and life How Rosie started listening to her body, changed her mindset, and eats foods that make her feel good Some highlights of this episode on Healthy Travel Tips with Kale in the Clouds Creator Rosie Tran: Four years ago, Rosie was asked to be her best friends Maid of Honor. Rosie decided to eat clean and focus on eating mostly veggies. This began her clean eating wellness journey. She started with a restrictive plant based route, but soon learned that balance was necessary. [03:39]   Prep is so important, because then it will be there when it is needed. It's hard to find time to put meals together. Having things premade helps so much. [05:19] Amazing food prep for the plane and hotel rooms. She got a little skillet, because some hotels don't offer microwaves. She would bring a spiralizer and heat zucchini in her room. This has made her job more fun.  [08:05] Self-care. Rosie was so excited about every bit of her job. She worked a lot and made sure she was seeing everything on her layovers. Eventually, she realized she needed to slow down, take care of her body, and get the sleeps she needs. Slow down and don't have an agenda. Go after a good workout. [10:26] Rosie's best memories revolve around people and meeting unintentional friends. The importance of connection and in-person relationships. [12:56] Meal prepping. Mason jar salads. So easy to pop lid off and throw in dressing. Pre Packed salads and meals, plus the ingredients for other meals for longer trips. Filling meals don't require snacking. Bars, chips, chocolate, and fruit are great snacks. [16:51] Flight attendants don't have liquid restrictions. Being a flight attendant is such a cool job. The travel and flexibility is amazing. The importance of pursuing your true happiness and when work isn't work. [22:06] Rosie loves going to Hawaii. She gets to go there once a month. She now has enough seniority to pick where she flies to. Maui is her favorite. She loves the good weather and she is off to LA today.
