    Mold Exposure Recovery

    If you’ve ever wondered whether mold could be connected to lingering health symptoms, this episode is full of helpful information and real-life insight. We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with mold recovery expert and registered dietitian Katie Driessens, and this episode tackles top questions about mold and your health and how to bounce back after exposure. Katie explains why some people continue to feel “off” even after leaving a moldy environment, how mold can affect things like energy, hormones, gut health, sleep, and the nervous system. We also talk about practical ways to support your body during recovery and helpful lab tests to consider, plus how to find a qualified mold inspector you can trust—and the red flags to watch out for.  Our Expert Guest Katie Driessens, RDN - How to Find Her!

    Rant Therapy: “You Remind Me of My Mother”

    The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.     Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.   Rant Therapy: “You Remind Me of My Mother”   Thank you for listening to Rant Therapy on the Happy Eating Podcast.

    Adrenal Fatigue

    Are you tired when you wake up in the morning? Is your sex drive low? Do you need that glass of wine at night to chill out? If the answer is yes to all of that and more, the internet may tell you you have adrenal fatigue. But if you go to your doctor, they’ll likely tell you that isn’t a real condition. So, which is it? That’s the topic of this episode. We unpack the science behind adrenal fatigue, talk through the various symptoms, unveil what’s actually going on in the body that’s spurring these symptoms, and share what works to get your body back on track.   Thank you for listening to The Happy Eating Podcast.
