In this episode, we’re joined by dietitian Josh Percival, to explore how to move beyond diet culture and shift the focus from weight loss to health gain. Josh shares how family mealtimes can support better nutrition and why it’s time to drop labels like “sin” from food choices. We also introduce continuum thinking to help create more sustainable eating habits.

Josh offers practical tips for balancing protein, carbs, and fats in everyday meals, along with advice on managing cholesterol and the unique needs of those over 65. We dive into building positive food relationships, especially for women dealing with societal pressures during menopause.

From intuitive eating to help make guilt-free choices to managing picky eating in children, this episode is packed with actionable tips. Josh also highlights the role of human connections in fostering healthier habits and finding purpose through food and family. Tune in for practical advice and a fresh take on nutrition!
