    New Year Resolutions

    How necessary are New Year’s resolutions? Are they backed by shame or guilt? This new year let’s focus on positive goal outcomes & how we can be on the road to achieve what we need. The New Year should not be filled with negative self talk as that only limits us as we move forward in the upcoming months. This episode is meant to challenge the thought process each January & to set “SMART” goals! Also, in this episode, I share my new word of the year for 2024! If you haven’t heard of this, I did an entire podcast episode on a ritual I’ve implemented into my life each year that I find impactful & inspiring.

    Let’s talk: Team Beachbody !

    As a nutrition student, public health is a priority to me. Beachbody is a massive wellness empire but is it trustworthy? Is it dependable for the sake of our well-being? In this episode, I share my personal opinion on the pros & cons of this company based on facts and some of the opinions from my own personal experiences. In a world, riddled in diet culture, Beachbody now known as BODi, still stands strong on its own. Nutrition and Exercise are important components to health but so is our financial and mental well-being. Let’s shed a little light on the topic! In this episode I share my own story and why I don’t trust their coaching system. You should question it too! I did a research report on this topic & I want to share my thoughts behind this well known MLM.

    My opinion on Ozempic for PCOS

    Reminder: this is solely an opinion and NOT medical advice. This episode is meant to motivate you to question your healthcare system if you feel the care you are receiving is not the right fit for you. There is so much controversy on these diabetes medications and the very rampant abuse of them that we are seeing. It’s not normal & this is your time to critically think. As a woman with PCOS, I share my experiences and why I think holistic nutrition is not often promoted along lifestyle management. There are major inequities in our healthcare system with a lot of bias towards women and their health. Did you know women in history were labeled as hysteric & crazy? The word hysteria is derived from the uterus. Women have been labeled since the beginning of time & it’s necessary to speak out on topics where women are blamed, shamed and gaslit by our medical system. Your weight does not define your worth! A great TEDTalk on Healthcare Bias: Gender Inequality in Health Heather Bowerman TEDxBerkeley (you can find on YouTube) & also: How biases in healthcare can be deadly I Safia Hattab | TEDxHopeCollege (found on YT as well). Women need to stand together and raise awareness on the bias we still face today.

    Vulnerability VS. Bravery ✨

    How do you face challenges in moments of vulnerability? In this episode I discuss vulnerable moments in my life and how I choose to persevere. Vulnerability is a normal human emotion and often times it’s something that gets swept under the rug and shrug off as a sign of weakness. If this is something you do, you may be missing the point of the strength it takes to be vulnerable. Acknowledging the things that make us feel uneasy/vulnerable is an act of bravery and it is an opportunity to face challenges. It’s a chance to connect with others who feel the same. Fear is a choice and we are in control of our emotions. On this episode I speak about how being a plus-size woman shouldn’t hold anyone back from our goals. No matter our body size, we must dismiss judgements because body size does not determine worthiness, intelligence or commitment to a goal. Health looks different on everyone. And as I go through my journey as a Dietetics student I am here to take you along with me on the ride because together we can achieve greatness. Sharing our vulnerable moments helps us to connect with others and act with courage. So which is better - to be vulnerable or to be brave? Give this episode a listen & find out! In this episode I talk about overcoming our vulnerabilities, weight loss / weight gain, change and a bit about weight loss surgery. Get ready to feel empowered. Thank you all so much for listening to these episodes for the past 2 years - I am so excited to be on Season #3! Together we can spread compassion, love & kindness✨

    Word of the Year✨

    Have you ever picked a word for the year? If you’re not sure what that means this is a wonderful episode to explain this idea! As we go into the new year we should remain inspired. We should be proud of ourselves and all that we have accomplished in the last couple years. Many of us faced different types of hardships yet no matter what we face we persevere. This is the last episode of 2021 and it’s meant to inspire and uplift your spirit this holiday season. Thank you all for the support and for listening to a Dish Best Served podcast for the last two years!! Remember a dish is always best served warm with gratitude💖

    Comfort Zones & Flow✨

    Comfort Zones are deceiving because although comfortable - they hold you back from things that can fill your life with so much joy. What’s something you wish you could just go for? Are you standing in your own way? In this episode I briefly discuss how to comfortable push yourself outside your bubble. Ultimately if we stay stuck we hold ourselves back from greatness. In addition to comfort zones I chat a little bit about the importance of exercise at every size. Moving our bodies for mental, physical and spiritual growth. Fluidity is so important. Staying inspired, listening to our bodies and going with the flow✨ I love being able to share a daily mantra with each episode and a self care tip at the end of every episode along with bouts of inspiration that pop into my mind from time to time. Thank you for listening and I hope you are able to take away a piece of positivity from any episode to brighten your day. This was recorded September 11th which was also a huge reminder that even through some of the toughest times we can still stand strong and come together and heal. Sending Blessings always!

    Balancing Our Health✨

    How do we balance our own health? What does it mean to be healthy? In my opinion, health is balancing your mind, your body and soul. In this episode I give tips and tricks on how to balance each of those aspects of health. The world of diet culture doesn’t have our best interest at heart when it comes to health and I explain why crash diets do more harm then good for our metabolism. But let me ask you this: How do you talk to yourself when no one is looking? How is your nutrition? Are you restricting or binging and falling down the same old vicious cycles? Do you implement a regular exercise routine? What are your favorite ways to keep your body moving? It’s important to push past our limitations. It’s important to be kind to ourselves as we make habit changes. Each of us have plenty to offer in our own way. We all bring something unique and authentic to every table we sit at. In today’s episode I share what has worked for me over the years and what currently helps me on my own journey. I talk more in depth about how there is no one size fits all “quick-fix” plan. This is why I focus on our minds, our bodies and our souls. Our mind is controlled by our words and thoughts. Choose your words wisely. Our body is controlled by our activity and nutrition. Fuel your body in ways that make you feel good. Our soul is controlled by behaviors and belief. Show up and let your light shine through. In this episode I also share my own health struggles with my recent PCOS diagnosis and how I manage my lifestyle with my own bouts of emotional eating. I talk about how to set boundaries with our loved ones who become too comfortable discussing our weight. We as humans are creatures of habit and the changes we wish to make lies within. The power is in our hands. We have to love ourselves and be kind to ourselves in order to see a successful shift in habits.
