KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

Are you tired of feeling like the diet and fitness world has left you confused, stressed, and stuck in endless cycles? 

This week, I sat down with Vahdaneh, the incredible mind behind @TheEdgeContent on Instagram, and we dove deep into a topic that resonates with so many of us: finding *true regeneration* through nourishment, stress reduction, and tuning into your body.  

Vahdaneh shares her inspiring journey—from years of restrictive diets, overtraining, and burnout to discovering Ray Peat’s work and completely transforming her health and life. She talks about:  

✨ How moving to the countryside (and getting chickens 🐔) helped her reduce stress and improve sleep.  

✨ Why healing your metabolism isn’t just about food—it’s also about managing your environment and emotional stress.  

✨ Her top staples for long-term health, including calcium, gelatin, and the power of sugar (yes, sugar!).  

✨ Embracing aging naturally and how nourishing your body can leave you looking and feeling younger.  

We also chat about our shared love for carbs, potatoes, and ice cream 🍦 and why ditching food guilt can lead to freedom and balance. 

Plus, Vahdaneh shares her tips on listening to your intuition and finding what works *for you* without getting lost in the noise of social media or diet trends.  

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unsure about what’s truly healthy, this episode is packed with wisdom, relatable stories, and practical advice to help you simplify your approach and feel amazing in your body.
