Summary
Hi Friends! I'm coming to you again this week as a human (read: not an expert) with some thoughts about the coronavirus pandemic. Many of you reached out last week letting me know last week's check-in was helpful so I decided to record another episode.
In this episode, I talk about how #nuancematters in our current situation. I talk about some of the things I'm noticing as I've had more time adapting to this new normal. I share what's been working for me and answer I common question I've been getting from family and followers about carbs, cravings in quarantine. I explore how there's no right or wrong here, and how we can continue to nourish ourselves in a very challenging time.
At the end of the episode, I invite all of you to send in a short essay or mp3 clip of you explaining what the gift of time or boredom has been teaching you so far. Send the email to: [email protected]

| 0:24.5 | My heart is with the first responders, the doctors, the nurses, the grocery store workers, |
| 0:31.5 | the farmers, the policemen and women, the people who are making our world happen amidst this pandemic are truly |
| 0:42.9 | heroes to me. And I just wanted to start off by acknowledging them and you and also all |
| 0:53.0 | of us who are sacrificing and staying home for the health and safety of our |
| 0:58.3 | family, our community, our parents, our neighbors, our friends, all of us are playing a part |
| 1:07.8 | in helping. And I just am grateful for that and I want you to know that |
| 1:12.6 | I see you and I recognize the hard work that you are doing to make this to make this work |
| 1:20.5 | and this interdependent nature of each of us what you do affects me what I do affects you |
| 1:26.9 | and I am so grateful that we are |
| 1:29.4 | waking up to that fact. And I'm grateful for you and you're part of doing those things that's |
| 1:36.4 | hopefully helpful long term. So with that all being said, I want to take some time today to talk about kind of where I am right now |
| 1:48.7 | just to see if some of my thoughts might be helpful for you just like I mentioned last week I'm |
| 1:54.5 | coming to you as a human I am not an expert on this situation honestly no, no one is. No one knows what's normal. No one knows |
| 2:05.0 | what is coming next. No one knows exactly what this is going to look like. And so I'm not coming to |
| 2:13.1 | as an expert about nutrition in this podcast, really more so coming to you as a human who has been |
| 2:21.7 | thinking a lot about our situation. And hopefully some of my thoughts are helpful to you. |
| 2:27.3 | Last week, I kind of took a gamble and just said, okay, I'm going to kind of throw out some |
| 2:31.9 | thoughts when this whole thing was newer in my area, |
