Rant Therapy - The Dressing vs. Stuffing Debate Nov 28, 2024

Show notes

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

What’s Brierley “so over” this week?

Easy Swaps for a Low-Tox Lifestyle Nov 26, 2024

Show notes

Did you know that most women use, on average, 12 personal care products each day? That translates to putting about 168 chemicals onto your body every time you use them. Unfortunately, some of those chemical ingredients are endocrine disruptors or carcinogens. So how do you know if you’re using products with these so-called “toxic” ingredients? Shannon Garcia, registered dietitian and an expert on reducing the toxin load in your home, is talking us through ingredients to avoid; which products are the biggest offenders when it comes to toxin exposure; and her favorite safer brands when it comes to skincare, cleaning products, laundry, and more.

Today’s guest is Media Dietitian and Safer Living Expert, Shannon A. Garcia, MDS, RD, LD. Here’s how to find Shannon.

Creatine: The Supplement Every Woman Needs to Take Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

If the supplement creatine makes you think of sweaty meatheads at Gold’s Gym, you’re in for a big surprise with this episode. Quite frankly, creatine deserves a totally new marketing campaign. In fact, by the end of recording this episode, we came to the same conclusion as today’s expert guest, Jenna Braddock. Every woman should seriously consider creatine supplements for their physical health, body composition, as well as mental wellness. Jenna not only explains the benefits of creatine, but she also shares exactly how much to take and which type of creatine to buy.

Top Nutrition Headlines - November 2024 Edition Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

We’re bringing back a favorite—nutrition headlines! And this version just might be our best! In today’s episode, we are sharing four new nutrition studies. There’s new research on bright light treatment and using it for more than just seasonal depression. Are night owls smarter than early risers? Or is being a “morning lark” better? You might not be to blame for your kids’ fussy eating tendencies. And does having a sweet tooth predispose you to some health conditions?

Sources referenced include:

Bright Light Therapy for Nonseasonal Depressive Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Sleep duration, chronotype, health and lifestyle factors affect cognition: a UK Biobank cross-sectional study Nature and nurture in fussy eating from toddlerhood to early adolescence: findings from the Gemini twin cohort

Artificial intelligence driven definition of food preference endotypes in UK Biobank volunteers is associated with distinctive health outcomes and blood based metabolomic and proteomic profiles
