    Episode 38: "Do Others Say You’re 'Too Picky' About Food? | There’s More to the Story"

    Have you ever been called “too picky” about food? I was definitely that kid. I didn’t like my food touching, preferred very plain foods, and absolutely hated fish. And yet, I grew up with parents who loved good food and knew how to cook. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my very discriminating palate, how my relationship with food evolved, and why I’ve come to see being particular about food a little differently. From sushi in 1980s San Francisco to nutrition school, culinary school, and my lifelong tree-nut allergy, there’s more to my relationship with food than simply being “picky.” In this episode, we talked about: Growing up as a very particular eaterWhy I didn’t want my food touchingHow sushi helped expand my palateMy journey through macrobiotic, vegetarian, and vegan eatingWhat culinary school changed for meWhy I notice flavors, smells, and food quality so intenselyHow living with a serious food allergy may have shaped my eating habitsThe difference between being picky and being discerningHow our early experiences can influence the way we eatLearning to make food an adventure instead of a negotiation This week’s Slow Kitchen thought: Are you actually picky, or are you simply paying attention? Think about the foods, textures, flavors, or ways of preparing food that you’ve always been particular about. Instead of judging yourself for those preferences, get curious about them. Mentioned:   The Land and Its People, David Sedaris  I’d love to hear from you: Were you a picky eater as a child? Did you grow out of it, or are you still particular about your food? Send me a DM or reply wherever you’re listening to the show. I’d love to hear your story. And remember, food doesn’t have to be a negotiation. It can be an adventure. 🌿 Keep your food flavorful, your kitchen unfussy, and your quirks intact.

    Episode 37: "How Childhood Trauma Shapes Your Relationship with Food, Health & Healing with Dr. Meg Haworth"

    Episode Summary What if your struggles with emotional eating, chronic stress, body image, or even health symptoms didn't begin with food at all? In this first expert interview on The Slow Kitchen Podcast, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Dr. Meg Haworth, transpersonal psychologist, holistic chef, bestselling author, and founder of Love School Online Holistic Academy. Together we explore the often-overlooked connection between childhood trauma, especially growing up with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, and how those early experiences continue to influence our relationship with food, our bodies, and our health decades later. If you've ever wondered why you can't trust your hunger cues, why you swing between restriction and overeating, or why midlife seems to awaken emotions you thought were long behind you, this conversation will help connect the dots. In This Episode We Discuss Why midlife often brings unresolved trauma to the surfaceHow childhood experiences shape your relationship with foodWhy emotional eating is a nervous system response, not a lack of willpowerThe connection between self-trust, intuition, and healthy eatingHow shame and survival patterns influence food choicesSimple ways to reconnect with your body through mindful eatingPractical ways to reconnect with your body through mindful eating and simple daily ritualsWhy slowing down in the kitchen becomes nervous system healing One Takeaway Healing your relationship with food isn't about finding the perfect diet. It's about rebuilding trust with yourself. When we begin listening to our bodies instead of fighting them, food becomes less about control and more about nourishment, regulation, and healing. About Dr. Meg Haworth Dr. Meg Haworth is a transpersonal psychologist, holistic chef, bestselling author, and internationally recognized expert in healing childhood trauma. She helps Adult Children of Narcissists (ACONs) become healed ICONs: Independent, Confident, Original, and Naturally You.

    Episode 34: "The Protein Panic: Why Women Over 50 Are Struggling With Protein and Why You Don’t Need to"

    What We Talked About Protein has become one of the biggest nutrition conversations of the moment, but it has also created unnecessary stress for many women. In this episode, I unpack why protein matters so much after 50 without adding another food rule to your life. We explore why so many women know protein is important but still struggle to eat enough, and how decades of dieting, low-fat messaging, and eating less have shaped our relationship with food. I explain how hormonal changes, anabolic resistance, and aging affect our ability to maintain muscle, bone, metabolism, and overall resilience. We also talk about why muscle is one of the greatest predictors of healthy aging and why osteoporosis prevention starts long before a diagnosis. I share a personal story about my mom's experience in senior living and why watching her lose muscle changed the way I think about prevention. You'll also learn why eating most of your protein at dinner isn't ideal, the benefits of spreading protein throughout the day, and how a protein-rich breakfast can dramatically reduce cravings and improve energy. We also cover: Why under-eating can be just as problematic as under-consuming protein.How adequate protein supports your immune system, healing, and recovery.Why collagen doesn't replace complete protein.The importance of eating enough overall calories to support muscle and bone.Why strength training and protein work together.Simple ways to increase protein without obsessing over tracking every gram.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that protein isn't another diet trend. It's one of the foundations that helps you stay strong, active, independent, and vibrant for decades to come. Mentions & Resources Protein and Optimal Aging Course – Learn how to confidently meet your protein needs without fear, confusion, or obsession.    Episode 22 & Episode 23 of The Slow Kitchen Podcast for a deeper dive into osteoporosis, osteopenia, and protecting your bones before menopause.30g+ Protein Entrées – Meals that actually hit your protein goals 🥗🍳Protein Cheat Sheet – Quick tips to make every meal count 💪Collagen vs. Protein Powder Guide – What really matters for muscles, joints, and skin ✨Follow Cat on social media links below and let her know: What does your breakfast look like right now? Does it have a protein anchor? Research Mentioned This episode references current research and evidence on healthy aging, including: Anabolic Resistance – The age-related decline in the body's ability to build muscle efficiently, making adequate protein and resistance training increasingly important.  Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) – Research suggests distributing protein evenly across meals is generally more effective than consuming most of it at dinner. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) – Protein requires significantly more energy to digest than carbohydrates or fat. Low Energy Availability (LEA) – Chronic under-fueling can negatively affect muscle maintenance, bone formation, hormones, metabolism, and recovery. Donald Layman, PhD – Research on protein quality, leucine, and optimal protein intake for preserving muscle with age. Research supporting adequate protein intake for immune function, wound healing, connective tissue repair, and healthy aging.  Join the Midlife Nourishment Collective If you're ready to stop piecing together health advice from social media and start following a simple, sustainable approach designed specifically for women over 50, I'd love to welcome you into the Midlife Nourishment Collective.

The more diverse the team, the better the job gets done." 🌿 More Resources for You: Bone Health Blindspots Guide: A clear, grounded look at what’s often missing in the conversation around bone loss, midlife metabolism, and stress. 👉 https://catdillon.com/BoneHealthBlindSpots💌 Inner Wisdom Eating Guided Reset 👉 https://catdillon.com/InnerWisdomEatingGuidedReset❓ Quiz: How Much of a Mindful Eater Are You? 👉 https://catdillon.com/MindfulEaterQuiz🍳 10 Craving-Busting Breakfasts 👉 https://catdillon.com/CraveBustingBreakfasts 📄 10 Best Blood Sugar Hacks for Women 40+ 👉 https://catdillon.com/10BloodSugarHacksConnect with Me: Instagram: https://instagram.com/catdillonrhn/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CatDillonRHN/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catdillonrhn/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@catdillonrhn
