About this episode

Join the Foodie Fam Membership!

Welcome to our first episode of The Talk, our member-only bonus episode series! One of our most common requests is to go weekly, and the best way we have found to make that possible is by launching The Foodie Fam Membership. This is our way of staying true our mission by being selective about which sponsors we accept, while still being able to give you guys the content you’ve been asking for!

In this first episode, Eddie and Juna reflect on their own mental health struggles and how exercise and nutrition played a role in their recovery. As we discussed last week, improving diet quality might help your mental health, but if it’s taken too far, it might actually hurt your mental health.

If you want more of The Talk, plus other exclusive member-only benefits, come join us at The Foodie Fam!!!
