Nourish Noshes

This is part three of our sweet cravings episodes where we get down to how to actually deal with those persistent sugar cravings. It's not about going cold turkey or depriving yourself of sweet treats--it's about strategizing and mindfulness. Transcription of the Nourish Noshes Podcast Sweet Cravings Part 3 Edited for clarity. Debbie  00:00 This is part three of the series of sugar and we're reintroducing this podcast again, because it's six years old but still relevant. And we hope you listen to the first two. And if you haven't go back and listen to part one and two, and let us know what you think. Wendy  00:15 You know, I think one of the things about sugar is that it's universally alluring. You know, not one person hasn't been allured and tempted and overindulged in sugar. And so this is, you know, sugar is definitely a universal language. And so, if you've got friends, you want to share this with, we encourage you to pass it along. Debbie  00:39 Yeah. Enjoy. Here we are, at part three of why we l

In this second part of our revisited podcast on sugar, we discuss what kinds of sugars are out there and what they do to our bodies and how our bodies process them. Wondering which sweeteners are dangerous and which are not? We explain. Transcription of the Nourish Noshes Podcast Sweet Cravings Part 2 Edited for clarity. Debbie Here's part two of our podcasts that we recorded six years ago. And we're reintroducing it to you because it's still so relevant.  Wendy Yeah. And we'd love to understand where people are in this journey, what you gathered from part one. And as you listen to part two we'd love to hear some feedback.  Debbie All right, here we are talking about why we love sugar. This is part two of our sugar series.  Wendy And we're going to start off by talking about some of the most natural kinds of sugars. Debbie Right, we're also going to touch on artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols. But let's start with the good stuff. Honey Wendy Let's start with the good stuff, honey, it's on

We all love sugar. Six years ago, we published this series on sugar cravings. We wanted to revisit this podcast because it's still very relevant and has great information on why we crave sugar and how to better deal with cravings so that they don't rule our lives. Transcript of the Nourish Noshes Podcast Sweet Cravings Part 1 Edited for clarity. Wendy: 0:00 Sugar is just so powerful. We're so excited to rerelease these three parts. Debbie: 0:06 We want to revisit these podcasts because they are so relevant even today, even though we recorded them six years ago. Wendy: 0:15 Yeah, there are some really juicy gems in here that when we listen to them again, Oh, right, even we forget we wait, the recording of these. And there are some things that I had forgotten about--our endocrine system and sleep.  Debbie: 0:35 And the funny thing to me is that when I went back to listen to it to see if it was any good because again, it's six years old. I was like, oh, I don't know if it's worth it. We might have to edit

Sometimes ingredient lists have words we can't pronounce or understand. But what are these ingredients? Are they safe? How are we supposed to know? In this podcast, we'll explain what some of those ingredients mean and whether or not to put that package down! Transcribed Podcast, Ingredient Lists Edited for clarity. Wendy: We’re so glad you joined us on the podcast today we're going to be talking about icky stuff in our foods. Debbie: That’s a good way to put it. Yeah, food additives and stuff that’s in packaged and processed foods that we all eat. Wendy: There are so many things in packaged foods, so we’re going to start out with a lesson, right? The take-home message is that we need to look at ingredients labels. Debbie: Right. If you're going to eat packaged and processed foods, which we all do. It’s practical and it’s realistic. But please, before your buy it, take it off the shelf look at the ingredient list. That’s a habit. And it’s one that you can get used to doing. I didn’t used to do it but now

It’s 3:00 and you think you need a little something. Maybe a latté, an energy bar, a cookie, or that 100-calorie pack of whatever. Or maybe, it’s just a habit that you made or told to make way back--”to keep your metabolism high.” But here’s the thing, snacking (and or grazing) isn’t making your metabolism run faster, and it’s usually not eating to satiety. In fact, it’s often something you ate because you were bored, or tired, or stressed out and in that case, that little snack might actually make you hungrier later. It may also prevent you from burning fat and keep your blood sugar dangerously high. Snacking and grazing may actually be making you fatter, setting you up for diabetes, and causing you unnecessary pain and discomfort. When we eat full meals that include a mix of whole food protein, carbohydrates and fats, we turn off hunger hormones, level out our blood sugar, and nourish our bodies on the cellular level. This is satiety. You’re sending signals to your body that it’s finished eating and can go

It's spring, and we often feel like it's time to clean up and clean out. And that's not only our living and working spaces, it's often our bodies! The diet industry always has an upswing at this time of year, but is that really what you need? Hear how Debbie and Wendy believe is the best way to detox/cleanse this spring.

Did you know that only 5% of what we do in our daily existence is from the conscious part of our mind and 95% is subconscious? Think about that for a moment (consciously). This was a fabulous and fascinating interview with Susan Marco, Advanced Clinical Hypnotist. Susan helps people learn how to reach deep states of learning, healing and creativity. Using a variety of techniques, she guides her clients into a condition of deep relaxation while at the same time a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. This process allows you to access your own innate wisdom which leads to new solutions for old problems!

We are all unique individuals, of course, but we often seem to forget that when we think of health. What's good for one is not good for another. Your eating plan doesn't work for me. Mine doesn't work for you. How can anyone know what to do for themselves if no one is alike? Take a listen on our take on what we call "bio-individuality."

As celebratory as the holiday season is, many of us dread it because of the temptations. Beginning with Halloween and all the holidays up to New Years, many of us indulge in foods and treats day after day, feeling defeated and full of shame. In this podcast, we want to interrupt that frame of mind and give you some tools to help you get through this holiday season gracefully and feel nourished.

Welcome to Nourish Bytes, our very short takes on health and nutrition topics and ideas.

Now, especially, during these COVID times, your cravings may actually be that you're hungry for connection. What protein powder do you choose? Which vegetables are the best choice for true health? What supplements should you take? Does that really matter? There are other, possibly more important factors for true health and longevity. What are they? We discuss them here and how you can tune up your health quotient. We also discuss how using this circle of life exercise helps balance your needs. We also refer to this Hidden Brain podcast episode that really opened our eyes on the detriment of loneliness.

The Nourish Five Foundations of Health are the core of our wisdom and what we base our practice on with clients and ourselves. In this episode, we expand on each of the foundations and suggest ways to up your health game. Of course, recording from our homes, makes for, let's say, a more interesting recording with all the background noises and less than stellar recording equipment. But, the information is there and we hope you enjoy it and share it. You might also like... Podcast: The Shaming Culture of Dieting Podcast: It’s Not Black and White
