Summary
2021 has arrived, and with it — a lot of us are setting some big goals as well as new year's resolutions. This week on Hurdle, I'm releasing five back-to-back episodes as a part of the "In Focus" series, chatting with top experts about some of the most popular, frequent topics in wellness that many set goals around time and time again.
For episode three of the series, I'm chatting about the importance of eating better with Shana Spence, MS, RDN. In today's episode, Shana talks us through the notion that everyone has a different version of what healthy means for them, but we can all make smarter choices for a better overall diet. We chat through hydration best-practices, how to navigate bloat — whether it be post-holidays or any other event, why it's important to have a lot of color in your meals, and so much more. Plus: The difference between frozen/canned and fresh fruits and veggies and the big perk to not eliminating anything ~completely~ from your eating/drinking repertoire.
