What Now? On the threshold of life, death, and grief.
S4E13: When Grief Changes How We Eat, Rest, and Live
Mar 25, 2026
Season 4
Episode 13
Julie Brown, David Kennedy, Red Keating
Grief touches every part of us—not just our hearts, but our bodies too. In this episode, co-hosts Red and Julie speak with nutrition counsellor Vera Decena about what happens in the body when we experience loss. Vera explores how grief can disrupt our energy, appetite, and daily rhythms, and why everyday tasks like eating or resting can feel so different after a loss. Blending science with lived experience, Vera offers thoughtful suggestions for supporting yourself—or someone you care about—through one of life’s most difficult transitions.
