Summary

OK, there are some snobby, elitist ideas out there surrounding nutrition. Have you heard them? And when you sit at home making your grocery list with these ideas in the back of your mind, do you worry about how much money is in your wallet, what little time you have to go shopping, or how you can possibly buy tasty nutritious food for the week ahead that you will actually eat?

There is SO much conflicting, ever-changing messaging out there on how to eat healthy. In this episode Kelsea and Rachael blow the doors wide open with regards to nutrition. They challenge the notion of "true health" and the common culture mindset of "gatekeeping" healthy foods...the idea that you can only do health the "right way" if you buy all fresh, organic produce.

Spoiler Alert: The "right way" is YOUR way. You don't need to make more money. You don't have to read more recipes. You don't need a time machine or a PhD. Most importantly, you don't need to wait! It's not complicated. You have every single tool that you need to eat nutritiously right now, today. Tune in and learn how to invest in yourself because you are IT!

Disclaimer: You must open your mind. Don't be a snob. We use words like "microwave", "frozen" and "canned" food.

(0:14:37) Reasons are offered to switch to frozen vegetables when necessary.
(0:23:58) Freezing and canning actually remove more pesticides than fresh non-organic options.
(0:19:59) Pre-made or frozen options allow for easy preparation while traveling.
(0:25:00) Prioritize buying organic for produce consumed with the skin on.
(0:30:35) Technology like microwavable rice makes healthy eating more convenient.
(0:32:44) All food groups, including carbs, are part of a healthy lifestyle.
(0:34:11) You don't need to enjoy cooking elaborate meals to eat healthy.
