Episode 67 – Food, Mood, Poop! Food For Thought, Part 2

In my business as The Sober Nutritionist, I share a lot about being alcohol-free but not as much about my nutrition background. Today, I take you inside my nutrition coaching and share about my simple approach to ‘true wellness’.
This episode shares some actionable steps for you to get started on your own nutritional journey.
I talk about:

The power of the Food Journal
Food, Mood, Poop
The importance of blood sugar and the impact of artificial sugar
Why digestion is key
How to find the best diet for you

This is a part 2 of Food For Thought. You can find Part 1 here

How do you feel about Getting Sober For Science?

Many of you know that I work as a contract coach for This Naked Mind. I also work as a contract coach for Alcohol Free Lifestyle, a program that is run by James Swanwick and my good friend and fellow coach Victoria English. (click here to find our podcast episode together). James and Victoria offer a program called Project 90 for those seeking to become alcohol-free.
Right now there is an exciting offer for you to participate in P90 and be part of a ground breaking study!

The University of Washington and University of Florida are conducting a joint scientific study of the Alcohol Free Lifestyle program, beginning February 1, 2023.
You have an opportunity to receive professional coaching and support stopping drinking for at least 90 days. The study will examine the effects of 90 days alcohol free on participants’ health, mindset and productivity. Spots are limited; to find out more and apply, click HERE.
