Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

We are a family-owned Minnesota company that specializes in real food, nutrition, education,

and counseling. My name is Leah Kleintraud, registered and licensed nutrition, education, and counseling.

My name is Leah Kleintraud, registered and licensed dietitian.

And my co-pilot for this episode is the one and only, Teresa Wagner, who's also a registered and licensed dietitian.

Some of you out there may know Teresa from having worked with her one-on-one in counseling.

If you've taken any of our classes locally at the Woodbury or St. Paul locations, you

might have seen her there. But Teresa also gets to be the brains and the face and that

encouraging logical voice for those who are taking our online Nutrition for Weight Loss

Foundation series.

And I just wanted to mention this because I've had a couple clients who have been making

their way through that program recently, and they have nothing but good things to say about

how well you explain things, Teresa, and just like a lot of the doable, just down-to-earth suggestions

that you have. So I'm super happy to be back here with you today and just for you to share some more of that magic with us.

Wow. That's really fun to hear because you never know who's going to see it after it's done. But overall, it was a great experience to really dive deep into the principles that we go over in the class.

And now it's fun to have it available so people can take that class anytime, anywhere, however, it works in their schedules.

Yep.

So today, I'm excited about the show, too, because we're going to tackle a topic that we touch on a little bit in that foundation series.

And also in our ongoing support and education sessions. But we don't spend a whole lot of time in those series flushing out

the details. And that topic that we're going to talk about today is cortisol, which is

kind of a hot topic.

Oh, totally.
