How to Revitalize Our Health With Natural Foods, My Interview on the Women Today Podcast

 
 

I had the wonderful opportunity to have a conversation with Emma Teitel on her podcast, Women Today.

Emma Teitel is a psychotherapist, coach, and women’s group facilitator committed to the empowerment of girls and women around the world.

The Women Today Podcast is focused on unpacking and investigating the new female psychology. It digs deep into the heart and minds of women to understand what it really takes to heal, to grow, and to experience psychological freedom so that we can create lives of authenticity, fulfillment, and contribution.

In my podcast episode with Emma, we focus on the topic of how to revitalize our health with natural foods.

Here are the show notes for our conversation:

There are so many important factors when it comes to our health, but solid nutrition goes a long way–it can literally make or break our experience of well-being.

And that’s why I’m so excited today to introduce you to Chef Maria Cooper.

Maria is an author, nourishment coach, dance teacher and executive chef who is passionate about creating nutrient-dense, vibrant dishes that nurture the body and soul. Her book, Heartful Kitchen, a Cookbook for Every Body is my go-to cookbook most nights of the week.

In this week’s episode Chef Maria and I cover:

  • Maria’s personal health crisis that catalyzed her interest in natural foods.

  • How to practically set ourselves up for success when it comes to nutrition and health.

  • The value of creating a nutrient dense backdrop for everything we want to accomplish, experience and have in our lives.

  • The concept of food for fuel, what it means to eat in this way, and why it can be so beneficial.

  • The difference between short-term diets or cleanses versus learning a new way of being in relationship to our food/nutrition.

  • Maria’s 5 core foundations of health and how to start incorporating them into your life.

  • How to oscillate between both giving and receiving as women when it comes to health and energy.

  • How to cut through all the noise regarding nutrition and actually figure out what works for you.

  • Why it’s so important to resist perfectionism and instead focus on realistic, small changes if you want to experience long-term sustainable change with your health.

And SO much more.

Maria is such a thoughtful, warm, and inspiring woman–and her food is truly some of the best I’ve ever eaten, so she really knows what she’s talking about!
