    Fuel Her Awesome — Mental Health, Aging, Nutrition & Healing Your Relationship With Food: gut-brain connection, emotional eating, women’s hormone health, food freedom, empowered eating

    Most women don’t have a nutrition problem. They have a relationship problem — with food, with their bodies, and with themselves. And until someone addresses that, no meal plan is going to stick.

    Welcome to Fuel Her Awesome — the podcast where mental health and nutrition finally meet. I’m Jess Brown, registered dietitian, certified eating disorder consultant, certified sports dietitian and your guide to understanding why you eat the way you do — and how to change it without shame, restriction, or starting over.

    Each episode goes beyond the food to explore the root causes most providers miss: the gut-brain connection driving your mood, the stress hormones shaping your cravings, the nutrient gaps nobody tested for — and what you can actually do about it. Science-backed, judgment-free, and built for the woman who is done treating symptoms and ready to heal the root.

    This isn’t another wellness podcast. It’s the one that finally connects the dots.

    Subscribe for weekly episodes on:

    → The gut-brain axis and how your microbiome affects your mental health

    → How cortisol, blood sugar, and stress hormones drive your eating behavior

    → The nutrient depletions linked to depression, anxiety, and ADHD that nobody tested for

    → What your body is actually communicating — and how to listen

    → Science that’s real, actionable, and completely judgment-free

    You’re not broken. You’re just missing the full picture. Let’s build it together.

    My #1 Snack Hack! How To Boost Energy, Hit Your Protein, And Save Time! Mar 27, 2023
    Show notes

    How often do you find yourself in a scenario:

    You’re on your way somewhere, probably running late, and this is the first moment you’ve had all day to actually feel your body's biofeedback… And it’s telling you that you are hungry! Because you have nothing available in your vicinity you can very quickly go from hungry to HANGRY.

    Hanger is real and it does not make the world a better place! This is why as a dietitian, there are two things I look for when helping my clients build snacks. Number one: How can you boost your energy? How can you get enough of a blood sugar lift to maintain your energy but not so much that you are more tired after you eat it? Number two, how can you hit your protein targets? While I’m a dietitian, I’m a mom first and a busy one at that! So, while I’m trying to hit the two above the big question is: How can I save time? That’s why on today’s episode I’m discussing how we can check all these boxes and sharing my number one snack hack!

    Cheers, and happy eating!

    Get Your Crap Together (Literally)! How To Understand Your Poop. Mar 20, 2023
    Show notes

    There are two types of people when it come to this topic...

    1) Those who brag about their poop

    2) And those who we question if they even do it.

    Whether you fall on the spectrum, the reality is... we all poop.

    My filter with this topic was originally weathered by becoming a dietitian, but then any filter that remained was obliterated when I had two boys. My boys think poop and farts are the most hilarious thing and the poop report is not only a primary topic of jokes in my house, it is also the typical coloring page of choice (that stinking poop emoji) and now it is common dinner conversation. #gross

    Being confident in your body and learning to steward your life vessel well is something that has many layers.

    There is the mental health layer. This involves the underlying belief about your body and its purpose.

    There is the nutrition science layer.

    Then there is the biofeedback layer— learning to connect the physical feelings of our body to our actions WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. And your bowel movements fall under this category.

    In today's episode we are literally learning about how and why we need to get our crap together. Your gut health impacts your immune system, how you digest food, your mental health, and ultimately your nutrition status. Getting this in order can change how your body takes in food and responds to exercise.

    Cheers and happy 💩!

    How To Eat Mindfully (Even When Your Life is Chaotic And Rushed)!! Mar 13, 2023
    Show notes

    I spend more time refereeing at family dinners than I do tasting my food.

    My attention is on my email (instead of my lunch) when I take my lunch "break".

    The reality is mindful eating in a fast-paced, often chaotic environment can be challenging. For me, I had forgotten how powerful it could be and lost the practice. After a trip on my own (without kids and away from emails) I was pleasantly reminded of the wonderful benefits of mindful eating. There are both mental and physiological benefits to eating mindfully and I want to help you (and me) return to this practice... even WHEN our life is chaotic.

    Today's episode includes 3 quick, easy tips that you can practice today to build your mindful eating skills. You can do them in the car, during your lunch "break" as you answer emails, or as you wrangle the kiddos at dinner time. Practice one or all three and I know you will feel the benefits and enjoy your food even more!

    Until next time...

    Cheers and happy (mindful) eating!

    Swapping Her Eating Disorder For The Olympics. How Professional Runner Charlotte Prouse Found Her Voice, Overcame Her Eating Disorder, And Now Has Her Eyes On The Olympics, Paris 2024. Mar 06, 2023
    Show notes

    If you have ever struggled with food, you understand the level of hard it can be to make peace with food and your body.

    Charlotte Prouse, 2-time NCAA Runner Up, 6-time All American, 3000M Steeplechase Western Hemisphere record holder, and professional runner knows this all too well.

    I am so excited to have Charlotte, an amazing client, and incredible human, on the show to share her story of recovery, resiliency, and finding her voice in a high-pressure sport.

    Funny Story: She hated me when we first met.

    I was brought into her team to evaluate her clearance for sport participation because of her eating disorder.

    Charlotte Prouse has battled anorexia during a crucial part of her life. While mentally she was not ok, physically she was winning. She is a 2-time NCAA Runner Up and 6-time All-American and is currently the Steeplechase Western Hemisphere record holder...

    Those are some high expectations to keep up with.

    Charlotte's story is not short of obstacles (including literal AND physical hurdles— seriously she hops over these in her Steeplechase race). It is one that will leave you feeling inspired!

    We wrapped up Eating Disorder Awareness Week last week and this is the perfect time to talk about recovery. If you have ever had an eating disorder or know someone who has, you are no stranger to the level of pain that comes with it. One of the hardest parts about an eating disorder is that it often comes with shame and isolation. When our struggles are hidden they carry an even heavier burden. Our hope today is that Charlotte's story inspires anyone out there who may be struggling.

    You are not alone. There is hope. And recovery is possible.

    Cheers, and happy eating,

    Struggling To Workout? How To LOVE Exercise Through Biofeedback and A Mindset Makeover. Interview With Kim Payne, LMHC And Her Research Results! Feb 27, 2023
    Show notes

    When did exercise become something that we have to do?

    When did it turn into a form of punishment or an obligation?

    When did we lose the ability to just play?

    I have two boys (one is six and one is eight) and most Saturdays I drag my family to the gym. My husband and I work out together while the kids go to kid care. What’s really fun is when we’re done with the workout and the kids get to run out on the gym floor. They find anything they can in the gym to play on. They grab the rings and they start swinging! If the ropes are down, they try to shimmy up the ropes. They can’t make it higher than an inch… but they sure do try. Everything about what they’re doing is uncoordinated and wonky and yet, they are having a blast.

    It is such a healthy reminder to me that at one point movement and exercise were PLAY! Once upon a time, it was an exploration of what my body was capable of. That is exactly what my boys are doing when they come out on the gym floor to run around. (Now that I think about it, my boys pretty muck parkour through life.) Over time, we lose this ability to be curious when we move and it turns into an obligation. The gym isn’t something we enjoy, but rather another item on our to-do list (right next to laundry). We find our place in a judgment seat and criticize our exercise. It is never enough and we always need to do more.

    I’m really excited to carry on this conversation about exercise. How can we return to play? How can we get out of the judgment zone and into a space of curiosity to explore?

    Today, one of my good friends Kim Payne is here to discuss some of the research she has been doing on biofeedback and exercise. This is science in the making and I am so here for it! Kim Payne is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and currently pursuing her doctorate at Adams State University. I love talking to this woman because she is passionate about helping others find joy in exercise. If you are interested in working with her directly, please reach out to her at kimpaynetherapy@gmail.com.

    This one will leave you with some steps to take today to get moving… for FUN!

    Cheers, and happy movement!

    How Much Chocolate Is OK To Eat? Feb 20, 2023
    Show notes

    We all love it. We all want it… but how much is OK to eat?

    The experts say the recommended “dose” is approximately 1 to 2 ounces/day. Indulge in anything more than that, and you may be consuming too many calories.

    Yeah... that doesn't work for me.

    They also say that the most useful chocolate is bitter and contains at least 60% cocoa. Cocoa beans are rich in dietary fiber and magnesium, therefore, it promotes the release of endorphins and serotonin, which are necessary to combat stress.

    But white chocolate is my favorite.

    In today’s episode, we are going to break down how to balance what the experts say, and what our heart wants! In true Empowered Eating form, we are going to unpack this question and leave you with an answer customized to you!

    If you are new here, I am so glad you are here! I’m Jess, dietitian, wifey, boy mom, and total science and nutrition research junkie. I ask a lot of my body, I don’t have the option to mistreat it mentally or physically. I want to invite you to the Empowered Eating Club where we make values-based, faith-led health goals and create a partnership with food that pairs biofeedback (a fancy word for what your body says about the food you eat) and nutrition science.

    This podcast is here to support you weekly, but it only scratches the surface.

    As for today, I am so glad you are here. I pray today’s tips help you say NO to the lies that are thrown your way, and YES to the awesome that you are. Grab your coffee, pop in your AirPods, and let’s grow together with today’s Empowered Eating Tip…

    Cheers, and happy eating!

    How To Fall In Love With Healthy Eating (AND Have Dessert Without A Side Of Guilt)!! Changing Food From An Emotional Crutch To Fuel. Feb 13, 2023
    Show notes

    I want to want to eat a salad!

    Also… how do I eat dessert or fries without the food police siren going off in my head?

    Working through this is a journey requiring many steps along the way. Today, I’m getting you started on this journey with 2 steps you can take NOW in your Empowered Eating journey.

    If there’s one thing I can promise you, it is this: Becoming an empowered eater is worth every effort you put into it. We have to live and interact with food every day and throughout the day. We also live in our bodies for our lifetime. It is our vessel. Our earth suit. Therefore, even though we have a lot going on and we’re busy being pulled in many different directions, becoming an empowered eater is crucial to the core of who we are. It impacts everything around us and how we interact with others. I want you guys to feel awesome in your own skin so you can share your inner awesome with those around you! Eating in balance allows you to feel more energy, and free up some of the headspace that was once occupied by food rules.

    So how do we get there?

    The first step to falling in love with healthy eating and learning that having dessert without guilt is this: We must remove shame around food. Food shaming has become something that is so prominent around food. It’s like we have attached a moral compass to specific foods. We literally have “good” and “bad” food lists! How many times in a day do you hear someone refer to the food they had as “bad” and then, consequently, they refer to themselves as “bad”?

    When we remove food shaming, we can look at food more logically, and start to better understand how we interact with it when shame pops up. You’ll know it’s food shame when it makes you feel small or want to hide. The key indicator that it's shame (instead of guilt) is that guilt makes you feel like you did something wrong whereas she makes you feel like you are something wrong.

    The second tip for you today involves good, old biofeedback! Instead of eating food based only on how it tastes… start to make decisions about what to eat based on how your body reacted to it the last time you ate it! And if you haven’t eaten it before… use this situation to listen and learn! I don’t believe in diets and here is why: Diets allow rules and schedules to dictate what a person eats and there’s no connection with how the food actually feels in our bodies. This is an unsustainable way to eat because eventually, life will throw a curve ball. What happens then? This is when folks fall off plan and go back to the all-or-nothing thinking around food. And I can’t blame them! They never learned how to eat based on what their body has to say.

    This podcast is here to support you weekly, but it only scratches the surface. Empowered Eating leads to empowered living. And I am so excited to help you get there.

    Cheers, and happy eating!

    Everything You Need To Know About Protein Powder! Interview with Polar Joe CEO & Founder, Darcy Haggith. Jan 30, 2023
    Show notes

    Is Protein Powder something I should supplement with?

    How is it processed?

    Does it actually work?

    I had all these questions too! That is why I reached out to the expert. Today, I am bringing Darcy Haggath, CEO of Gruppo Nutrition and Polar Joe, to talk to us about the production, processing, and science behind protein powder. Gruppo Nutrition is a sports drink company that targets athletes and more recently he launched Polar Joe to expand his fuel-forward philosophy beyond athletes. I personally am a big fan of these products! I have a serving of Polar Joe most days! I asked him to come to the show today to unpack the details on how protein supplements are made, processed, and if they really are a healthy option.

    When it comes to protein here is what you need to know:

    1. Consuming doses of protein has advantages over having small amounts throughout the day. Research shows that when people have a low amount of protein throughout the day, they don’t get the same benefits as they do when they have 20-30g doses 3-6 times per day.
    1. You need more of it as you get older. When you were 18, you could have 6g of protein and turn on the muscle repair process. As we age, we have a harder time turning triggering that process. As an adult, we need closer to 20-30g doses of protein to trigger muscle repair. Our total protein needs also go up as our body has a more difficult time building muscle.
    2. Look for leucine. Leucine is a specific amino acid that is known as the “trigger” protein. It is the one that gets into our muscles and says “Let’s start building!” Leucine can be found in dairy products, beef, chicken, eggs, nuts, and soybeans. It is very high in concentration in whey protein powders.

    Most of us need more protein than we can CONVENIENTLY eat within a day. This is exactly why I am a big fan of supplementing with protein. When choosing a protein powder, look for those that have little added ingredients. If you choose whey protein, choose one that is a “whey isolate” instead of a whey concentrate.

    My personal favorite? Their Match Pro-TEA is where it is at! This combines some of the incredible benefits of matcha with protein powder. I am literally drinking mine as I write this!

    Friends... it is time to drop the body and food hang-ups because you are way too awesome to carry them any longer. Plus as women doing all the things, we don’t have time to waste any energy!

    Cheers friends, and happy eating!

    Is It Healthy Discipline or Black And White Thinking? How To Stay Out Of All-Or-Nothing Thinking Around Your Food and Fitness! Jan 23, 2023
    Show notes

    For anyone with a history of black-or-white thinking, trying something new or setting a new goal can be overwhelming…. Because when we operate in black-or-white thinking, we are operating in a PASS OR FAIL mentality.

    Then there is this other word I want to unpack: healthy discipline. If you are like me, you may have a bit of an aversion to this word. And after years of exploring I have come to find that black-or-white thinking taints discipline. This in turn inhibits our ability to set and accomplish new goals… ultimately, keeping us stuck in our health journey.

    So today I am making a case for discipline, and spelling out why it is SO different from black-and-white thinking and how to not confuse the two so we set ourselves up for success!

    This podcast is here to support you weekly, but it only scratches the surface.

    Cheers my sweet friend, and happy eating!
