Saying No to The Shame Spiral of “Healthy Eating”

Why food isn’t your enemy (and how to ditch the shame + fuel your body)

This week we’re turning down the shame around nutrition and remembering food is fuel. Hannah is traveling (we miss you, friend!), so it’s Holly, Anna, and Meredith—our certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner—digging into how food, wellness, and mom life all collide.

Meredith brings her best tips for navigating the overwhelm of nutrition in real life—when you’re short on time, not sure what to believe, or just tired of thinking about what’s for dinner.

We covered everything from morning hunger and cortisol to whether peanut butter counts as protein (Meredith has thoughts) and the importance of morning light.

But most importantly? Spoiler: it’s not about perfection, it’s about paying attention to how your body feels and making small, doable shifts.
