About this episode

Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long.

A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. You can find all the new resources and ways to connect with me in the show notes. I hope you are having the best summer! Enjoy!

Let’s dive in and revisit the best of the best!

🎙 Episode Highlights:

  • My journey from food obsession to Empowered Eating and how it changed everything

  • Why food freedom is possible—even if you've struggled in the past

  • The power of biofeedback: what it is and how to use it

  • How personalized nutrition helps you align with your body's needs

Empowered Eating Pep Talk When you know your worth, you recognize you deserve the same care you give others. Learning your body’s unique needs takes time, but it's worth it—because when you feel vibrant and strong, you can show up fully in your life.

 

 Biofeedback Boss Tip Your body is always sending you signals! Common biofeedback clues: ⚡ Energy crashes after meals 🌙 Waking up at night? Could be a fuel issue 🥴 Bloating isn’t normal—gut imbalances matter! 👀 Case Study: How Toni used biofeedback + lab testing to fine-tune her nutrition & supplements (and saved $127/month on unnecessary ones!)

 Nerdy Nutrition Nugget Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a key indicator of stress, recovery, and metabolic health. A 2020 study found that higher HRV supports workout recovery, metabolic flexibility, and reduces cravings. Want to assess your biofeedback? Track your Hunger, Energy, and Cravings (HEC) throughout the day!

🔥 Takeaway & Action Step: Today’s challenge: Experiment with your HEC! Pay attention to when your hunger, energy, and cravings feel balanced—and when they don’t.

 Encouragement Your body is already giving you the answers. When you tune in and make intentional choices, you unlock your most energized self. Let’s ditch the diet trends and start listening to your body.

Cheers, and happy eating!
