Thanks for joining me for episode 4! This episode it such a goodie and one that ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE should get into their ears! In this weeks episode I catch up for a chat with the wonderful Mandy from @madeby.mandy. Mandy is a student dietitian who loves plant based cooking, shes is a recipe contributor for the Keep It Cleaner App and is a passionate advocate for encouraging healthy relationships with food.  In this episode Mandy and I deconstruct what the term "WELLNESS" means in today's trendy fitness and foodie culture and how our social ideas of wellness and popular dieting culture may in fact be causing more harm than good.  some of the topics we discuss include: + How food companies are creating FEAR surrounding the terms hunger, Carbs and calories + We talk about negative food labeling and what words you NEED TO ELIMINATE from your own vocabulary when it comes to talking about food + What is ORTHOREXIA? + Dr Steve Bratman’s checklist for orthorexic behavior and unhealthy eating habits + We explore the idea of nourishing our bodies every 3-5 hours  + We discuss what INTUITIVE EATING is and why you need to start incorporating this into your own lifestyle + Mandy gives us some tips for how we can begin to reevaluate and heal our relationship with food Links to check out Episode: @madeby.mandy (instagram) https://amandamaiorano.wordpress.com/author/amandamaiorano/ (website for all her yummy recipes and more) @thebutterflyfoundation (instagram) information and support for people suffering from eating disorders https://butterfly.org.au/ (website) @pink_medicine_podcast (instagram)  I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode so jump over to Instagram and let me know!  I really feel this conversation was such an important one and the knowledge and ideas that Mandy shared with us about our eating habits is one that needs to be talked about more, so if you found this episode helpful or thought someone you know would benefit from hearing any of what was in this show please take a screen shot and share it with your friends, just do what you can to get this information into peoples ears.
