065: Eating Close to Nature and Balancing Blood Sugar on a Budget with Chandis RDN
Moms take care of everyone…but sometimes we forget ourselves.
If you’ve had those moments when you blow up at a kid or spouse and then realize, “Oh, I haven’t eaten in 4 hours,” you know what it’s like to feel ‘hangry.’
My guest today draws upon personal and professional experience with nutrition and blood sugar to give us a masterclass on how to think about the contents of our food and fueling ourselves (and our families) for the day.
You’ll learn:
- 2 goals for daily eating
- how to anchor your food to feel better all-day
- the real cause of mood swings, anxiety, and tiredness
- why grocery shopping and trying new recipes may sometimes seem like a fun challenge and other times be a drag
- how to teach our kids about healthy fuel and choosing balanced meals
- whether calorie counting makes sense for moms in the thick of it
- how to stay motivated to feed our families when it starts to get us down
- some excellent grocery shopping tips to keep you on a budget
Chandis created a Christian-based series of nutrition and food classes for the whole family to watch, and you’ll get a taste of how important they are in this interview.
