    In this episode of Mealtime Magic & Mayhem, host Tricia welcomes guest Cornelia Kawann, an executive in the Swiss electricity regulator and founder of Energy On. They delve into the fascinating topic of personal energy and its impact on our lives. Cornelia shares how she discovered a way to measure personal energy, and encourages listeners to embrace the idea of personal energy as a normal part of life. They discuss the importance of listening to our bodies instead of conforming to a standard diet, as each body processes and reacts to food differently. To help listeners understand their own energy and the impact of food choices, Cornelia introduces an exercise called the standing method, where listeners can use their body as a pendulum to calibrate yes and no responses. Tricia & Cornelia discuss how food can affect energy levels and share practical tips for understanding nutrition and energy.
