Let’s empower each other to live our healthiest, most balanced lives. 💪
Episode Highlights1. Reduce Extreme Thinking
Move away from rigid categories of "good" and "bad" foods.Understand that while some foods may be healthier than others, viewing nutrition in black-and-white terms can create unnecessary anxiety.2. Learn About Nutrition Without Perfection
Educate yourself on nutrition, but remember—no one eats perfectly all the time.Focus on balanced and sustainable eating rather than striving for perfection.3. Listen to Your Body
Practice eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re full.If you’ve been going long periods without eating and then bingeing, aim to eat regularly every 3-4 hours.Start noticing your fullness cues and honor them by stopping when you feel satisfied.4. Practice Mindful Eating
Slow down and savor your food. Be aware of how it tastes and feels in your mouth.Enjoy the experience of eating without distractions—just be present with your meal.5. Embrace Self-Compassion
Your worth as a person isn’t tied to perfect nutrition or having the "ideal" body.Show yourself kindness and compassion, especially when you feel like you’ve fallen short.6. Identify Moderate Eating Behaviors
Moderate eating means flexibility, not rigidity. If finding balance is challenging, consider seeking help from a dietitian or therapist.Professionals can assist you in defining what moderate, healthy eating looks like for you.7. Focus on Whole Foods, But Enjoy Your Favorites
Prioritize whole foods that are close to their natural state—like whole grain bread over highly refined options.However, it’s important to leave room for treats and your favorite foods too. Unless medically advised, there’s no need to cut out entire food groups.Thank you for tuning in! Finding balance with food doesn’t have to mean swinging between extremes. By incorporating these tips, you can develop a healthier, more relaxed approach to eating.
If you found this episode helpful, please share it with someone who might benefit from it. And as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences—connect with me on @jessbrownrd.

Hey friends, I'm so excited for you to sit in on this conversation today with my new friend Caroline Shermer, RD. Caroline is a registered dietitian and fellow eating disorder specialist, and today she will be joining me as we discuss the topic of emotional eating.
I believe emotional eating gets such a bad rap in our culture, and because of this, we are left with so many questions we don't have answers to on how to tackle emotional eating in our own lives. So, today, we'll be addressing emotional eating and answering the questions of: why it's not always such a bad thing, how to best manage it, and what to do to prevent it from getting out of control.

Summer is coming up quick and many of us are in for a whirlwind! With chaotic schedules and swimsuits out, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But this summer, let’s flex those empowered eating skills! To equip you for the season ahead, we’re dropping a SUMMER SERIES on Fuel Her Awesome!
This Week’s Summer Series Lineup:
Monday: How to Become a Biofeedback BossWednesday: Nutrient Nerds: Micronutrients for Mental MojoFriday: Should You Beat the Heat with MORE Salt? A Review on Sodium and Electrolyte WaterEpisode Highlights:
Free Biofeedback Workshop: Sign up here.Today’s Episode: Should You Beat the Heat with MORE Salt?
Understanding Sodium: Sodium (salt) is an essential nutrient involved in blood pressure regulation, nervous system function, and muscle operation. The body requires about 500mg of sodium per day to function properly under normal conditions.
Sodium in the Spotlight: Recently, salt packets like LMNT have become popular, with influencers recommending 2-4 times the recommended daily sodium intake. My own experience with these packets has been positive, but is this true for everyone?
Key Points Discussed:
Sodium Requirements and Safety:
One packet of LMNT contains 1000mg of sodium.The highest average daily intake recommended by dietary guidelines is 2300mg, with amounts beyond this potentially leading to high blood pressure.Data Insights:
Higher sodium diets don’t cause high blood pressure in everyone. Research shows that individuals at the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) can tolerate and benefit from more than 2300mg/day.Data indicates a J-shaped relationship between sodium intake and CVD mortality rates, with the lowest risk at 3000-6000mg/day. This suggests the 2300mg guideline may actually be in the high-risk category.Practical Advice:
The average sodium intake is around 3500mg/day.A meta-analysis found that reducing salt intake did not reduce CVD risk.Should You Drink LMNT Packets?
Evaluate Your Diet:
Is your diet low in sodium? Eating mostly fresh foods likely means low sodium intake.Do you consume a diet high in fruits and vegetables? High potassium intake can offset high sodium intake.Consider Your Health:
If you don’t have high blood pressure and have no family history of hypertension or are not taking related medication, increasing sodium intake to around 4000mg/day could make you feel better.In abnormal circumstances like extreme heat or heavy sweating, adding sodium to water can aid in hydration and glucose uptake.Takeaways:
This episode helps you navigate the sodium packet trend. Remember, if you have a family history of hypertension or are on medication, consult with your healthcare provider before adding sodium packets to your diet.Closing:

Welcome back to the SUMMER SERIES! We kicked off this series with episode #1 on Monday, where we talked about listening to your body's biofeedback, so go back and give it a listen if you haven't yet.
In today's episode #2 of the SUMMER SERIES we are discussing 'mental health mojo' and how we can start to create daily habits, not just for mental wellness, but also for mental strength. I believe mental wellness is something we all need to be tending to regularly. By nurturing our mental well-being, we can create these resilient, vibrant, and balanced inner landscapes that set us up to succeed no matter what life brings our way.
Things are going to happen, life is real, however, we have the power to strengthen ourselves from within. So, today we're talking about how to build the strength and resiliency that surpasses what we're told we are capable of achieving - through the lens of empowered eating.

Summer is coming up quick and I know many of us are in for a whirlwind! Schedules are chaotic and the swimsuits are out. This is either the perfect time to feel overwhelmed, OR it is a great time to flex those empowered eating skills! To equip you for the summer ahead, here's what we are doing:
This week on Fuel Her Awesome, we’re dropping a SUMMER SERIES!
Monday: How to Become a Biofeedback Boss
Wednesday: Nutrient Nerds: Micronutrients for Mental Mojo
Friday: Should You Beat the Heat with MORE Salt? A Review on Sodium and Electrolyte Water
Today we’re talking about biofeedback.
Biofeedback is essentially how your body talks to you. One of the most catastrophic parts about having food issues—whether it's disordered eating, a history of yo-yo dieting, or trying to control your body—is that these strategies disconnect us from our body’s natural signals. When we engage in these behaviors to control our body, we stop listening to it.
This disconnect creates a gap between our brain and our body, leading us to use food (or the lack thereof) to morph our body into what we want it to be, instead of what it needs to be. Tune into today's episode for the deep dive on how to reconnect with our body's biofeedback so we can make empowered and intuitive choices that support our well-being.

Today we're talking about rest, recalibration, and getting ready to absolutely crush your goals. If you are someone who has high expectations for yourself, sometimes letting go and resting is harder than doing. Do you relate?
Let's have a conversation about how we can step into that next chapter, with faith in the process, even when we may feel afraid.
As I've been navigating my own challenges as I move into a new chapter, I realize a lot of the battles I'm having internally, and fears that I have, are the same conversations I'm having with you about food.
Grab a cup of coffee, or any delicious beverage, and let's chat! Together, we can grow and embrace this next chapter. We are not here to play small or stay stuck in the dreaming stage. We're here to get out there and take step-by-step action to make those dreams a reality. I know you want this, I want this, and we're going to start on that journey today. Let's dive in and grow together!

Welcome back friends to part two of Decoding Food Addiction with Dr. David Wiss! If you haven't yet tuned into part one, be sure to go back and listen to that episode first.
Today, we're discussing anti-diet and diet culture rhetoric, and how this applies to you, as well as how these concepts relate to some of the science that is currently out there. In particular, we are talking about something called 'food addiction' and how this label can leave people in a very vulnerable spot, which is something I have witnessed in my own practice as well.
Tune in as we break down these concepts in more detail. It is our hope that you'll be encouraged to use this new information, on your own healthy eating journey, in an empowered way.

Today, I'm having another incredibly stimulating, exciting, and interesting conversation with Dr. David Wiss. I was drawn to Dr. Wiss because he's been opening doors to a conversation that is pretty controversial in my field.
At the professional level in the dietetic world, there is this polarization happening. Either you are 'anti-diet' or you are part of the 'diet culture' problem. As an eating disorder professional, this has been really confusing to navigate. And even though I've been timid to discuss this topic, after doing my own research and diving into my own approach, I decided I really need to have this conversation.
Dr. Wiss has been making waves with his research in this field. He's expanded the conversation, in the dietetic world, by inviting in ideas about food addiction, and really bridging the gap between mental health and nutrition.
Tune in for this fascinating conversation, and get a behind the scenes look on what's been going on in the nutrition world, while gaining clarity on aligning your health journey with your own empowered eating values.

Today, we are wrapping up the Fall in Love Series! I hope you've been enjoying this series as we've touched on what we need to 'fall in love with' in order to jump into empowered eating!
In today's episode, I'm tackling the question of why we need to fall in love with taking care of our body, regardless of what that may look like. As you may have guessed, this means we're going to be discussing self-worth and self-care today.
Now, I know that sometimes, especially as women, we can have an aversion to the thought of self-care. But, here's the deal, we take care of what is worth taking care of. You, my friend, are worth the time and energy of taking care of yourself, and your own self-care is not selfish!
So let's dive in as I share with you why self-care isn't selfish, why you are worthy of self-care, what positive body image actually is, and what you can do to fully embody your empowered healthiest self. I'll also be giving you some ideas on how you can fit self-care into your own daily routines.
