Hey there and welcome to another episode of She and if it's your worst time tuning in,

thanks for hanging out with me. I'm glad you're here. Welcome to your very first episode.

We have a lot of fun around here. We talk about all things womanhood, it feels like, but the majority

something I would recommend. Again, not a dietitian, formally or anything, but just through my own

journey of a lot of research working with a lot of dietitians, working with a lot of functional

doctors, a lot of just experts in many ways and also doing a lot of research. I kind of had to

come to this place of like, okay, my approach to food needs to be about nourishment, not restriction.

So how can I make some swaps to the things that I'm already consuming, already buying,

already using to make sure that I'm getting the most nourishing options for my body without necessarily

cutting out all the foods I like, like I still want to eat chips, you know. So anyway, that's what
