Many people think of testosterone in terms of men, but rarely do we hear it discussed regarding women. But testosterone is an important hormone for all people, and it performs a similar function in every body, affecting mood, metabolism, and muscle growth. Testosterone can be an issue for young women, often associated with PCOS. When testosterone levels are high there can be hair loss, acne, period issues, and increased body hair. When levels are low – very common during perimenopause – there can be a lack of confidence, libido, and energy. Once you’re familiar with these symptoms it’s easy to spot. We’re going to talk about testosterone, its effects, how to test for it, and how to naturally change your levels.

67. Women and Testosterone

When it comes to what we keep in our house, some people like to have an abundance of food in their pantries, while others like to keep it down to just the necessities. We’re going to talk about pantry staples, what you should always have on hand to cook with, and how to keep your pantry organized.

66. How to Stock Your Pantry

We try to take a stance on most topics, but it’s always a matter of balancing nutrition and pleasure. If health was the only variable, there would be plenty of things that we should all cut from our diets completely. And dairy is one of those things that many people love, but it might not make a lot of sense nutritionally. It’s right in the middle between “banned” and “green light,” and we’re going to dig into some of the factors involved when deciding what’s right for you.

65. To Dairy or Not to Dairy

We’re going to dive into some real-life scenarios from some of our Foodtrainers clients – anonymously, of course – that can be applied universally to all of you. From examples of clients struggling with motivation, feeling like their diet is depriving them of the food they love, or having trouble balancing moderation, these stories will hopefully help you, wherever you are.

64. Our Take on Moderation & Deprivation

We are constantly trying to learn more from the “Blue Zone” areas of the world – or regions that have an unusually high longevity rate. As more research is done, it’s appearing that a component known as polyphenols may be a large contributor to that longevity. Polyphenols are a natural chemical found in plants, herbs, spices, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and some drinks derived from these. They are prebiotics and contribute to your gut bacteria. We’re going to talk about what foods contain polyphenols as well as how to get a good balance of them in your diet.

63. Longevity Foods

If you’re not feeling your best during COVID, there are a number of things you can do to get back to peak performance. https://foodtrainers.com/61-how-a-nutritionist-loses-weight/ (Last week), Lauren shared some of the dieting changes she made to take off some of the only weight she’s gained outside of pregnancy. Now we’re going to look at the other approaches that you can take to give yourself a reboot and feel better.

62. Reboot with This Superfood and Supplements

It can be a pet peeve when people are sharing their personal results without the aid of studies. Everyone is so different, after all. But there is some value in knowing what the experts themselves do, and that they each face similar challenges to what everyone else does. Lauren shares some of her personal weight journey. During COVID, she put on some weight – despite doing all the right things. For someone used to a fairly stable weight (discounting pregnancy), it can be surprising to gain weight and see it stick around. What happens when you feel like you’re doing everything right and it’s still not going your way?

61. How a Nutritionist Loses Weight

We’re getting ready to reenter the public as the pandemic winds down. One negative aspect of that is the urge to compare ourselves to others we haven’t seen in some time. Even if you don’t think this is something you struggle with, you may be doing it subconsciously. On average, 12% of our thoughts are comparison-based – and it’s not something you ever grow out of. We’re going to explore this phenomenon and offer some tips to avoid it.   To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: http://foodtrainers.com/Podcast (Foodtrainers.com/Podcast) Resources: Learn more at https://foodtrainers.com/ (foodtrainers.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodtrainers/ (@foodtrainers) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Foodtrainers/ (facebook.com/Foodtrainers) Twitter: https://twitter.com/foodtrainers (@foodtrainers) Read: “https://foodtrainers.com/the-book/ (The Little Book of Thin: Foodtrainers Plan-It-to-Lose-It Solutions for Every Diet Dilemma)” Foodtrainers is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

60. Do You Compare Yourself to Others?

This week, we’re running The Fix: our one-week reset program. As we all begin to reenter life, you may want to reboot your diet to give it a jumpstart. Over one week, Fix participants do an accelerated diet consisting of no booze, no added sugar, and no grains. For those of you craving a fresh beginning, here’s your first taste of The Fix.

59. How to Reset Mindfully

Every action causes a reaction, and that’s as true of what you put into your body as anything else. We all have questions about the side effects of commonly prescribed medication, so our goal this week is to learn a little bit more about them. Supplements are well-trodden ground on Foodtrainers, but many of us still don’t know what to think about medicines. It’s time to examine the potential side effects, as well as natural alternatives and things we can take to complement any medication that we’re on.

57. Foodtrainers’ Favorite Things

We continue our discussion of “Seaspiracy” from a nutritionist’s perspective. In the film, they highlight an extreme example of farmed fish infested with sea lice. This is a particularly awful case, but how prevalent is lice in farmed fish? Should you be concerned? And what should you look out for? Let’s find out!

56. Should You Eat Farmed Fish?

A popular Netflix conservation documentary, Seaspiracy, has been getting a lot of buzz lately. It provides a certain perspective on issues affecting the oceans and marine life. The documentary covers a lot of issues — some better than others. The sneaky thing about the film is that it seems to take individual pieces of truth and sprinkle them in with misrepresentation, or flat out lies, to make the delivery more dramatic. Any documentary that only shows one side of the coin is not doing a fair job of representing an industry. Pointing out the good and the bad is always going to be better received as honest, objective work. We work around all dietary decisions at Foodtrainers. It’s anyone’s personal decision to eat fish or not. When making that decision, please do research beyond just one film.

55. A Nutritionist’s Thoughts on Seaspiracy

Clean wine has been trending lately as a healthier way to enjoy wine. You know that we love wine here at Foodtrainers, and any way to make that healthier is worth exploring in our book! In the name of research, we did a clean wine taste test. We talk about our tasting experience, what clean wine actually means, and whether we give it a yay or tell you to stay away.

54. What’s the Deal with Clean Wine?

Food habits are a result, not a cause. It can be difficult — even impossible — to fix disordered eating when what’s causing it lies unresolved below the surface. Much of that starts in our childhood. It’s only by sifting through our past and resolving our harmful patterns that we can progress. When we do, it not only positively affects our relationship with food, but our relationship with the world and people around us.
