The Happy Eating Podcast: Recent Episodes
Carolyn Williams PhD, RD & Brierley Horton, MS, RD
Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood? Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel? The “Happy Eating Podcast” was created after we couldn’t find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.
If you’ve had trouble lately focusing or being productive, this episode is for you. We’re talking about a concept called body doubling, and it’s something Carolyn and I have been employing to work through big projects, knock out mundane to-do items, or simply tackle our day job. In fact, it’s become one of the most effective solutions—and some days the only way—to harness our productivity and focus.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Creatine is everywhere right now. While the supplement has been popular for years among gym rats, the benefits of taking creatine now far surpass gaining muscle strength—and especially for women. What are those benefits? How much creatine should you be taking? When should you take it? And will it make you gain weight? We answer all of these questions in today’s episode. Some of the studies mentioned in the episode:Single dose creatine improves cognitive performance and induces changes in cerebral high energy phosphates during sleep deprivationCreatine monohydrate pilot in Alzheimer's: Feasibility, brain creatine, and cognition

Why is everyone talking about their pelvic floor lately? This really wasn’t something we ever heard discussed 10 years ago. But in reality, 1 out of 2 childbearing women experience pelvic floor dysfunction. And thanks to the interest in menopause, we’re learning that your likelihood increases as estrogen levels decrease. The hard part about pelvic floor dysfunction, though, is that it doesn’t look the same in every person. In today’s episode, we break down what the condition can look like, what symptoms may be, and talk through the recommended treatments. Bonus: Brierley shares the surprising treatment that worked for her. Thank you for listening to The Happy Eating Podcast. Tune in weekly on Thursdays for new episodes!

We’ve talked about hydration before. And if we had to guess, every one of us is walking around with a Stanley or Owala because you know the importance of hydration. But is there really more to know about hydration than just drink water? We’ve had listeners send us a variety of questions over the past few months: How do you stay optimally hydrated? Are electrolytes worthwhile? Can you get too many electrolytes? And are there certain periods when you really could benefit from more fluid and electrolytes? Ahem, perimenopause. So we decided it was time to answer them.

A few months ago, Carolyn and I were sitting in a bar with a friend lamenting over our ADHD-like symptoms. Her suggested solution? Methylene blue supplements and she began to tell us how it boosted focus and attention span. Before we could say Amazon, Carolyn was adding the supplement to her shopping cart. The next day, before I purchased, I did some research and realized that while it may be fairly safe for some, there’s a group of people who really shouldn’t take it and I’m one of them. In today’s episode, we cover what methylene blue is, when and why you might want to use it, and when you should steer clear.

Let's face it, most teens aren't exactly known for having the healthiest habits, but did you know that the adolescent diet is considered the poorest of all age and population groups? While nutrient gaps are concerning at any age, they’re especially critical during adolescence when teens gain up to 25% of their adult height, 50% of adult weight, and undergo significant brain changes. In today’s episode, we’re outlining which nutrients are most important during the teenage years and empowering parents and nutrition experts to successfully set teens up for optimal growth and development. Don’t tune out too early; we outline 3 superstar foods that deliver multiple essential nutrients and share which ones we stock in our own kitchen.
This episode was developed in partnership with the nutrition scientists and registered dietitians at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff.
1.0 CPEU Available for RDNs: Dietitians listening can go to beefnutritioneducation.org to receive their continuing education certificate for listening. This episode has been submitted to CDR for approval of 1.0 CPEU.

Nutrition science doesn’t sit still, and neither do we. In today’s episode, we’re sharing what we’d add to these episodes if we were recording them today. Whether you’re still struggling with gut health, braving the freeze for the ‘health benefits’, or feeling the weight of wellness culture, this episode will leave you feeling more informed—and a little less overwhelmed.
We share updates related to these three episodes.

Have you heard about the TikTok trend and the McDonald’s Migraine Hack—aka the McMigraine? If you haven’t, it’s OK, Brierley hasn't either. The premise of these viral videos is that a McDonald’s coke and French fries is an effective way to run off a migraine. So, in today’s episode, we broke down the science behind this trend and whether there’s any legitimacy to it. Let’s just say that if you’re a migraine sufferer or know someone who is, you’ll want to listen to this one. Let’s dive in!

If you’ve tried to book a therapy appointment, you know there’s a shortage of mental health professionals. It’s not unusual to have to wait weeks or months for an appointment. So, with the rise of platforms like Chat GPT, could we harness AI technology for talk therapy purposes to treat things like depression and anxiety? We were extremely skeptical that this topic would even warrant a full episode on the Happy Eating Podcast. But, as you’ve heard us confess before, we are sometimes pleasantly surprised once we dig into the research. So, did we change our mind after researching this topic?

You may be familiar with what we’re talking about today. And others of you may not. But I guarantee you know people who are using them. We’re talking about oral nicotine pouches, one of the most popular ones being the brand Zyn. They’re touted as being a healthier tobacco-free alternative to cigarettes, vapes, and chewing tobacco, but are they really? Today we’re taking a closer look at oral nicotine pouches, as well as the surprising effects they can have on your mental health, particularly ADHD.

Many of us walk into our menopause journey blindly—and it’s not until things like out of the ordinary stress, ADHD-like symptoms when it comes to your ability to focus and concentrate, and seemingly overnight weight gain, that we scramble for control and often realize that our usual go-to tips and tricks don’t work like they used to. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, certain diet and exercise approaches can help greatly. In today’s episode, we’re bringing back a favorite guest—Jenna Braddock who is a registered dietitian and menopause expert. With her, we delve into the science of perimenopause and menopause and explore straightforward nutritional and lifestyle approaches, like how much protein do you need? How can you hit that target? What type of physical activity is the most effective to get rid of that belly fat? Best of all, since each of us is going through perimenopause, we share our personal experiences about what’s worked for us—and what hasn’t.
This episode was developed in partnership with/in collaboration with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff.

If you live in an area with pollen, you’re dealing with histamines whether you know it or not. They’re what’s responsible for your runny nose, red eyes, itchy throat, etc. But histamines are also found in food, which for some can lead to high levels in the body and cause symptoms like headaches, bloating, and eczema. You may hear this referred to as histamine intolerance. Spoiler alert: if you’re in perimenopause you’re more likely to start experiencing some histamine intolerance. In today’s episode, we’re talking about what histamines are, what foods they’re in, what histamine intolerance looks like, and what you can do to balance out the histamine levels in your body.

Part of the “Make America Healthy Again” initiative is calling for the use of beef tallow instead of seed oils like canola, grapeseed, etc. And some major fast food chains have pledged to switch from frying in oil to frying with beef tallow. But what exactly is beef tallow—and will it make us healthier? In today’s episode we take a non-political look at beef tallow.
Listen to our past episode on seed oils: The Truth About Seed Oil

We’ve all experienced picky eaters—whether through friends, our kids, or maybe even you yourself are a picky eater. But when does picky eating crossover to extreme pickiness that could put your health at risk? And is there anything we can do to improve that pickiness? In today’s episode, we’re talking with registered dietitian and eating disorder expert, Kate Sayre, about a lesser-known eating disorder called ARFID. What is it? What are the common signs and symptoms? And how can you actually help someone who has ARFID?
Today’s Guest - Kathryn Sayre, MPH, RDN, LDN
Kate Sayre is a Registered Dietitian who owns a small private practice in Durham, NC. She specializes in disordered eating and is passionate about helping adults of all ages heal their relationship with food and their bodies. Kate is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, a member of The International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp) and a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). She recently completed Tier I of the Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders training.

What’s “natural” and expected when it comes to a healthy aging brain? Is it normal to walk into a room and forget why you went in there? What about struggling to recall the exact word you want to use to articulate a concept? In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the difference between what’s typical for the aging brain (aka what you shouldn’t be worried about) and what’s considered a sign of mild cognitive impairment or even Alzheimer’s. If you’ve been experiencing memory lapses like Brierley and I have, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what we found.

You’ve likely heard about the dangers in some of your cookware and you may have even changed out a few for nontoxic pieces. But did you know there are other risky items you might want to swap out, too? Turns out, your kitchen is a major source of microplastics—food storage containers, of course, but also cooking utensils, sandwich bags, even certain sponges. In today’s episode, we’re talking about where those microplastics lurk, what the health effects of microplastics are, and how you can reduce your exposure with some simple swaps.
Studies Referenced Include:
Beyond the food on your plate: Investigating sources of microplastic contamination in home kitchens.A systematic review of microplastics emissions in kitchens: Understanding the links with diseases in daily lifeThank you for listening to The Happy Eating Podcast.

If you don’t know what the vagus nerve is, you have to listen to this episode. And if you do know what the vagus nerve is, you’ll really want to listen to this episode. Here’s why: the vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating so many systems in our body, yet sustained periods of stress can lead to a dysfunctional vagus nerve that hinders your ability to de-stress when you need it most. The effects are mood changes, GI issues, and a whole list of others. In this episode, we talk about why a healthy vagus nerve is crucial and share 10 easy ways to stimulate your vagus nerve.

Surely you’ve heard about weighted vests, right? It’s hard to miss the recent uptick in people buying and walking in weighted vests. But are they worth it? Do they help with weight loss, do they increase your fat burning, can they improve your bone health, or are they just a fad like Suzanne Somer’s Thigh Master once was? After we complained in a Rant Therapy episode about seeing them everywhere, we decided we needed to dig into the research and assess their legitimacy. We can’t wait to share what we found!

The location of your headache isn't a foolproof way to diagnose the cause, but it can be a good starting point for figuring out the root of the problem. Is the pain on the side of your head, at the back, throbbing around your hairline, or –perhaps the worst – in your eye.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—or is it? For most of us—at least according to two surveys done last year during the holidays—this season brings on additional stress. And since the added stress seems unavoidable, then coping techniques are a necessity. But we didn’t actually want to do this episode and give you the classic canned tips you hear, so we dug deeper and unearthed five truly helpful tactics that we employ and recommend.

Did you know that most women use, on average, 12 personal care products each day? That translates to putting about 168 chemicals onto your body every time you use them. Unfortunately, some of those chemical ingredients are endocrine disruptors or carcinogens. So how do you know if you’re using products with these so-called “toxic” ingredients? Shannon Garcia, registered dietitian and an expert on reducing the toxin load in your home, is talking us through ingredients to avoid; which products are the biggest offenders when it comes to toxin exposure; and her favorite safer brands when it comes to skincare, cleaning products, laundry, and more.
Today’s guest is Media Dietitian and Safer Living Expert, Shannon A. Garcia, MDS, RD, LD. Here’s how to find Shannon.

If the supplement creatine makes you think of sweaty meatheads at Gold’s Gym, you’re in for a big surprise with this episode. Quite frankly, creatine deserves a totally new marketing campaign. In fact, by the end of recording this episode, we came to the same conclusion as today’s expert guest, Jenna Braddock. Every woman should seriously consider creatine supplements for their physical health, body composition, as well as mental wellness. Jenna not only explains the benefits of creatine, but she also shares exactly how much to take and which type of creatine to buy.

We’re bringing back a favorite—nutrition headlines! And this version just might be our best! In today’s episode, we are sharing four new nutrition studies. There’s new research on bright light treatment and using it for more than just seasonal depression. Are night owls smarter than early risers? Or is being a “morning lark” better? You might not be to blame for your kids’ fussy eating tendencies. And does having a sweet tooth predispose you to some health conditions?
Sources referenced include:
Bright Light Therapy for Nonseasonal Depressive Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisSleep duration, chronotype, health and lifestyle factors affect cognition: a UK Biobank cross-sectional studyNature and nurture in fussy eating from toddlerhood to early adolescence: findings from the Gemini twin cohortArtificial intelligence driven definition of food preference endotypes in UK Biobank volunteers is associated with distinctive health outcomes and blood based metabolomic and proteomic profiles

Alkaline water’s popularity just won’t quit. Sales have grown every year since 2013. But do great sales mean that it’s worth drinking—and are the so-called benefits of alkaline water like preventing cancer, promoting weight loss or improving bone density legit? That’s what we break down in this very first episode of “waste of money or worth it”?
Sources for this episode include:
Effect of Alkaline Drinking Water on Bone Density of Postmenopausal Women with OsteoporosisAssociations of alkaline water with metabolic risks, sleep quality, muscle strength: A cross-sectional study among postmenopausal womenSystematic review of the association between dietary acid load, alkaline water and cancer

Have you ever wondered if the color you’re wearing influences people’s impression of you or impacts your productivity that day? Or is there a certain room in your house that’s painted in a color which seems to automatically calm and relax you? Yes, the simple color of a wall or shirt or logo has the ability to alter your emotions and impressions. And really your overall mood. In today’s episode, we’re looking at both warmer and cooler tone colors and how you can use them to your advantage.

When was the last time you thought about iron? It can be an easily overlooked mineral in our diet. Turns out, it deserves a little more attention and fanfare, especially for the role it plays in brain health. In today’s episode we’re talking all about iron, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia. What are the signs of iron deficiency? How much iron do you need? And what’s the best way to get more iron in your diet?
This episode is in collaboration with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor of the Beef Checkoff.

Elderberry isn’t something you’d often find at drugstores 10 years ago. But fast-forward to today, and elderberry supplements now have their own shelf or two in the supplement aisle. Elderberry has quickly become popular to take during cold and flu season in hopes it might ease symptoms or duration of an illness. And the good news, there’s research to back up elderberry’s immune boosting effects.
But not all supplements on the market are created equal. In today’s episode, we talk about what you need to look for when shopping, dosage amounts, and our top recommendations.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life!

You might think that connection between your diet and your mental wellness is all about how food impacts the brain. But that’s only a small part of it. Turns out, what’s more important is how that food impacts your gut. Your gut and brain are more connected than you think and there’s a lot of truth to that “gut” feeling. This week we’re diving into the gut-brain connection. What should you eat, or not eat? Should you take probiotics? We’re exploring all of this and more.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

You may know cortisol as the stress hormone that increases belly fat. Well, it is that. But cortisol plays a role in a lot of other systems in your body—so when this stress hormone is chronically elevated it can do some serious damage. And interestingly, elevated cortisol is a marker for depression and other mental health conditions. In today’s episode, we explain how cortisol impacts your mental health, and then share 7 easy, yet science-backed ways to lower cortisol almost instantly.

You might have seen headlines, or even read articles that tout the immunity-boosting benefits of sex. Well, it turns out the benefits don’t stop there, particularly when it comes to your mental health. Yet, sadly our sexual activity is lower today than it has been in previous generations, which made us ask “could a lack of sex put your mental health at risk?” In this week’s episode, we’re answering that question and sharing how much sex you should be having for your mental health. Let’s dive in!
References mentioned include:
Trends in Frequency of Sexual Activity and Number of Sexual Partners Among Adults Aged 18 to 44 Years in the US, 2000-2018

Frequency of Penile–Vaginal Intercourse is Associated with Verbal Recognition Performance in Adult Women

**Intro music this week has been slightly altered to be an instrumental karaoke version of "Let's Talk About Sex", written by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, and made famous by Salt-N-Pepa, We HIGHLY recommend listening to the song on repeat:

Statistically speaking, most Americans are meeting their basic protein recommendations. But these recommendations are just the amount to keep your body functioning. You really need more to support your active lifestyle, promote a healthy immune system and brain function, and to prevent muscle loss that naturally occurs as you age. Adding a little more to your day can also curb hunger and fend off carb cravings. In today’s episode, we’re talking about some sneaky signs that suggest you may need more protein in your diet. So what are they? And how much protein should you aim for each day?
To Calculate Your RDA for Protein:
Multiply your body weight x 0.8 grams to determine your protein requirements.
Note: This is the minimum daily amount of protein needed to maintain muscle mass and health.
To Calculate Your Healthy or Optimal Range for Protein:
Multiply your body weight by 0.5 to 0.9 grams to determine a more adequate protein range.

Research suggests that medications—over the counter and prescription—play a role in one of every four cases of sexual dysfunction. And that 25 percent is a figure that experts think is underestimated. So which medications are common offenders? In today’s episode we’re highlighting eight drugs that will hurt your sex drive—and we’re betting that almost all of them will surprise you. We’re also betting that you either take one currently or have taken one in the past year.

Have you ever felt really happy and healthy in your body only to go to the doctor and learn that according to your BMI you are quote-on-quote overweight? Or have you put off going to the doctor because you didn’t want to have a discussion about your body weight or BMI? We’ve known BMI isn’t perfect and now there’s a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests using BMI as a measure is doing more harm than good. In today’s episode, we talk with leading weight inclusive researcher, Lizzy Pope about BMI and what other measures and tests we should be using. Let’s dive in!

For every 9 boys diagnosed with ADHD, there’s one girl diagnosed. But ADHD isn’t a gender-related condition. It’s that girls and women are so under-diagnosed. One of the reasons is because our symptoms look completely different from the hyperactive boy we all remember from elementary school. In fact, lots of women with ADHD did very well in school, are successful adults with good careers and generally appear to really have their lives together. Case in point—Carolyn! So in today’s episode, you’re getting a look behind the curtain of Carolyn’s mind. And you may find you relate. Let’s dive in.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

There’s a gene defect that up to 50 percent of us have, but it’s not commonly discussed. It’s called the MTHFR gene, and if you have it your body can’t break down some key B vitamins like it should. The cascade effect is then a higher risk of heart disease, autoimmune diseases, migraines, cancer, and—because this is the Happy Eating Podcast—mental health conditions. In today’s episode, we break down the MTHFR gene: what it is exactly, what the health effects are if you have it, and a super-simple way to “treat” it.
Supplements Mentioned:
The supplement that Carolyn and her kids take is OrthoMolecular Methyl B12 (contains methyl-folate and B12). This must be ordered through a practitioner which you can do by creating a Fullscript account with us.

If the supplement creatine makes you think of sweaty meatheads at Gold’s Gym, you’re in for a big surprise with this episode. Quite frankly, creatine deserves a totally new marketing campaign. In fact, by the end of recording this episode, we came to the same conclusion as today’s expert guest, Jenna Braddock. Every woman should seriously consider creatine supplements for their physical health, body composition, as well as mental wellness. Jenna not only explains the benefits of creatine, but she also shares exactly how much to take and which type of creatine to buy.

The Connection Between Seasonal Allergies and Mental Health
Seasonal allergies are about to hit their peak, if they haven’t already. Where we are in the Southeast, everything is coated with a thin layer of yellow pollen right now. Stuffy noses, sore throats, irritated eyes, and fatigue are all common for seasonal allergy sufferers. But could those seasonal allergies also be aggravating your mood? In today’s episode, we’re explaining the very real connection between seasonal allergies and mental health.

Raise your hand if you use mouthwash. If this is you, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Today we’re talking about another kind of mouth swooshing—called oil pulling. What exactly is it? What, if any, benefits are there to oil pulling, or is it just some alternative hippy trend? And why are we talking about oral care on a podcast that’s focused on mental wellness? Let’s dive in!

We have a question for the mothers out there. Have you ever experienced a fierce wave of anger that was triggered in a split second by something seemingly benign like a spilled bowl of cereal? If so, you’ve experienced mom rage. Don’t worry—you aren’t alone. In fact, Minna Dubin wrote an entire—and quite fantastic—book on the topic. In this episode, we get to sit down and chat with her all about her book, her mom rage, and our mom rage. It’s quite cathartic.

Anxiety in adults can be hard to detect. But in kids? Even harder. One expert refers to anxiety as the great masquerader because it can look like a lot of different things, particularly in kids. What’s more, some of the symptoms of anxiety are quite sneaky. You may write them off as a phase, or a behavior issue, or even a prolonged illness. But, in fact, it could be how anxiety is manifesting in your child. So what are these sneaky signs of anxiety? Let’s find out!

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Carolyn has been in therapy for PTSD, yet she didn’t serve in the military and she wasn’t assaulted. Turns out, trauma comes in many different forms and, as in her case, the effects can stick around for a while. And even rear their ugly head months or years later in both mental and physical symptoms. In today’s episode, we’re talking with PTSD expert and registered dietitian Jess Cording to help us understand trauma and how to recognize it and heal.

For some of us, when life feels out of control, leaning into astrology may help us regain a sense of purpose and control. And lately I’ve needed that. If you’re like me then you may have seen that 2024 is supposed to be a big year for most—perhaps all—of the Zodiac signs. Well, that really peaked our interest and so we reached out to our favorite astrologer, Valeria Mesa. In today’s episode, she walks us through each of the Zodiac signs, starting with Aries, and shares what each sign can expect to experience this year. Let’s dive in.

If you were raised in the heyday of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or Snackwell’s fat-free cookies, your taste buds are probably quite thrilled that fat isn’t nearly as taboo as it used to be. But even though you know that certain fats are good for you, you’re not alone if choosing the full-fat option gives you pause. In today’s episode, we dug into why we need fat for our physical and mental health, which fats are best, and how much you really need.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Earlier this month, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into effect what’s colloquially called the “Skittles ban.” It’s a ban on a handful of food additives with known negative health effects (and banned in the European Union), yet are still pervasive in our food system. What are the banned additives and should they be banned across the country? Here’s what you need to know and check for on food labels.

Are you worried about what’s in your tap water? It’s been our radar for some time, but it’s something we’ve never had time to dig into it. But a study that came out this summer made us realize we had to give it a deeper look. Approximately half of America’s tap water contains PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” that can up your risk of cancer and disrupts hormones. There are other contaminants in our water, too, so what can you do at home to limit our exposure? What filters really work?

A lack of sleep is never good for your mood and there’s plenty of research that supports a connection between poor sleep and mental health conditions like anxiety. So what do you do? Take melatonin of course! It’s become one of the most popular supplements to take for adults and kids for sleep, but is it truly helpful, or can it be harmful? And what if you have depression or another mental health condition—is it safe to take melatonin? In this week’s episode we take a closer look at melatonin.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

People are always interested in knowing what vitamin and mineral supplements they should take for better health and mental wellness. But there’s a key nutrient that we often overlook—protein! The amino acids in protein are needed to produce key neurotransmitters need for brain communication, and there’s also some research that shows upping your protein intake may lower your risk of developing depression. So how much protein should you aim for each day and at each meal? And if you want to supplement, which protein powders are best? Expert Dr. Chris Mohr breaks down all of your options and tells you what he recommends.

Saunas aren’t just for escaping cold temperatures. Did you know research suggests that a sauna session could be as good for you as a workout? It’s also what Carolyn credits to lowering her blood pressure and stress—without a prescription. But neither of us had any idea just how pronounced the health benefits could be until Carolyn did a deep dive into the research to prepare for today’s episode. What are those benefits, what’s the best type of sauna to use, and how often should you go? By the end of this episode we promise you’re going to book yourself a sauna appointment.

Dubbed “the status symbol of the summer for pre-teen and teen boys,” chances are you’ve seen PRIME drinks somewhere. Maybe at the gas station, Target, TikTok, or even at your kids’ sporting event. What exactly is in those brightly-colored bottles and is it healthy for kids, or even you, to drink? Or should we be avoiding PRIME? Today’s episode answers those questions and we share what we do with our kids when they ask for PRIME.

Surely you’ve heard of Ozempic and Wegovy. But did you know there’s a supplement that’s been dubbed nature's Ozempic? It’s called berberine. And, as you can imagine, we were very curious about its legitimacy. So, Carolyn dug into the research and in today’s episode we’re talking about if it really deserves the name "nature’s Ozempic" and the different health benefits of berberine, plus how much you should aim to take.
Want to try Berberine? Order it from the HappyEating dispensary at Fullscript and get 20% off your entire order. Go to https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/happyeating

We read new nutrition studies all the time. And we love it! But until recently, we didn’t share what we think are the most exciting ones with you. Earlier this year we shared our first ever “top nutrition headlines” episode and you—our listeners—loved it! So in today’s episode we’re covering 3 newly published studies that caught our attention. Is your daily multivitamin giving your memory a boost? Could your Botox habit be good for your mood? And is there anything you can do at home to lessen your baby’s risk of developing food allergies?

If the supplement creatine makes you think of sweaty meatheads at Gold’s Gym, you’re in for a big surprise with this episode. Quite frankly, creatine deserves a totally new marketing campaign. In fact, by the end of recording this episode, we came to the same conclusion as today’s expert guest, Jenna Braddock. Every woman should seriously consider creatine supplements for their physical health, body composition, as well as mental wellness. Jenna not only explains the benefits of creatine, but she also shares exactly how much to take and which type of creatine to buy.

If you’re a regular here, you already know that the nutrients in your diet influence your mood. But never is this more obvious than when you hit that afternoon slump. We know from personal experience that the snack you choose can either boost your focus and energy so you can keep going, or send you in a downward spiral of unproductiveness. To help you avoid that second option, we pulled together our favorite snacks to bust that afternoon slump and keep you going.

In today’s episode we’re looking at some of the most common suggestions: cut out added sugars, avoid food colorings, eat only whole foods for a preservative-free diet. What does the science say actually works? And what should you ignore?

Seasonal allergies are about to hit their peak, if they haven’t already. Where we are in the Southeast, everything is coated with a thin layer of yellow pollen right now. Stuffy noses, sore throats, irritated eyes, and fatigue are all common for seasonal allergy sufferers. But could those seasonal allergies also be aggravating your mood? In today’s episode, we’re explaining the very real connection between seasonal allergies and mental health.

Regardless of your age or life stage, we can all relate to the not-so-fun effects of when hormones are out of whack. So naturally there’s a desire to do whatever we can to keep them balanced. But can food and supplements serve as a solution? In today’s episode we talk with menopause diet expert and registered dietitian Liz Ward. She answers all of our burning hormone questions. Let’s dive in!

Surely you’ve heard someone say—or maybe even said yourself—”I don’t know how she does it all.” Well, it’s time to stop aspiring for that kind of praise. It’s also time to silence that inner critic that’s making you feel guilty for not being able to do it all. In today’s episode, mindfulness expert Julie Potiker tells us why.

Since then she has added David Kessler’s Grief Educator Training to her extensive certifications. She holds a B.G.S. from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from George Washington University.

And while our love of coffee is undeniable, there’s a tinge of old-school thinking that it’s unhealthy to pour a second cup. But as it turns out, we need to ditch our coffee guilt because it actually has a wide range of health benefits and this applies to your mental health. What type of coffee is best? In today’s episode we look at 6 different types of coffee to decide which one’s best for your mental wellness.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Your grandmother may have taught you that spending time outdoors in the cold weather would make you sick. Well, it turns out that exposing yourself to frigid temperatures has the potential to actually be really good for you. We’re talking specifically about whole-body cryotherapy—where you go into an extremely cold chamber to lower your body temperature for 1 to 3 minutes. In today’s episode, we look at what the research says are the pros and cons of this growing trend, and if you should try it.

Have you ever felt like your doctor wasn’t really listening to you? Or left your appointment wishing your provider had seemed more concerned with what you were telling them? If this has happened to you, you’ve likely experienced medical gaslighting. And it’s more than just an offensive nuisance. It can actually be a significant health risk. In today’s episode, we’re talking about medical gaslighting and the impact it has on women’s health. Let’s dive in.

TikTok is a social media video app that’s well-known for its choreographed dances and silly humor. But did you know that mental health video content on TikTok is also incredibly popular? And some are even suggesting that this could be beneficial in breaking down the stigma of mental health and serving as a resource for those who otherwise might not seek help. But do these benefits outweigh the negatives? In today’s episode, we explore whether TikTok is beneficial for your mental health or not.

Between the family gatherings, get-togethers with friends, and work- or community-related parties, it often feels like we’re jumping from one holiday eating occasion to the next. And if you’re like us, that also might mean some stress and even guilt about indulging in less healthy foods—and what you might have to deal with in January. In today’s episode, we’re talking about holiday weight gain (it’s a lot less than you probably think!), and how to ditch the holiday guilt.

There’s a noise trend going on. Check out YouTube, Spotify playlist, even your iPhone home screen and you’ll find it. We’re talking about colored noises like white, brown, and pink noises. They’re touted as being able to help increase your focus, productivity, and sleep quality. And now that we’ve tried them, we swear by the productivity effects that brown noise has when we need to tackle a work project. What are these noises, and can they help you?

A cancer diagnosis comes into your life suddenly and unexpectedly—even if you aren’t the patient. In the days, weeks, and months that follow there’s a lot that unfolds from diagnosis to treatment. When you’re not the patient, it may be a little unnerving to know how best to support your family member or friend who has cancer. What should you say or do? What should you not say or do? In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Regan Jones, host of the podcast This Unmillenial Life who went through her own cancer battle in 2021. We’re asking her advice on how to best support someone with cancer.

Dubbed “the original chill pill” by Psychology Today, magnesium is a mineral you definitely need to know more about. Especially considering that the majority of us are probably getting insufficient amounts, or taking other supplements that might be competing with magnesium. In today’s episode we’re zero-ing in on just this one mineral: why you need it, subtle signs that suggest you may need more, and how you can up your intake. You’ll get advice on how to pick a magnesium supplement and also learn about a very unexpected way to get more magnesium. Let’s dive in!

Most of us actively try to sip water and stay hydrated—and we’re successful, at least until winter sets in. Did you know that when the temperature drops our body naturally dials down our thirst cues making it that much easier to overlook our hydration? In today’s episode, we cover why staying hydrated is important for your mental wellness, and why including electrolytes—specifically Ultima’s electrolytes—in your water is also a must-do. Don’t drop off too early because our guest has a special announcement!

You may know cortisol as the stress hormone that increases belly fat. Well, it is that. But cortisol plays a role in a lot of other systems in your body—so when this stress hormone is chronically elevated it can do some serious damage. And interestingly, elevated cortisol is a marker for depression and other mental health conditions. In today’s episode, we explain how cortisol impacts your mental health, and then share 7 easy, yet science-backed ways to lower cortisol almost instantly.

Do you hate the responsibility of cooking dinner every night? Or do you look forward to getting in the kitchen after a long day? Research shows there are some great benefits to cooking, which we explore in today’s episode. And while we both agree with the science, this episode is a little different in that one loves cooking dinner and the other not so much.

We’ve grown up thinking that fluoride is that nutrient that can do no harm. And if we don’t have it, we’ll end up with a mouth full of cavities. It seems no one has questioned that line of thinking or why fluoride was even added to our water supply. That is, until recently. In this episode we talk with Dr. Mark Burhenne, a functional dentist, about fluoride:
When is fluoride good for you?
When is fluoride bad for you?
Plus, key ways to lower your fluoride exposure.

Fruits and vegetables are two foods whose health value and necessity in the diet are rarely questioned, and this is for good reason since research consistently suggests that the nutrients and compounds in them improve physical and mental health. But is this true for all fruits and vegetables? Does eating tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant, and others in the nightshade family do more harm than good?

At the end of September, the US Preventive Services Task Force made the recommendation that all adults under the age of 65 years be screened for anxiety by their healthcare provider. Why is this newsworthy? It includes screening all adults including those who do not have a diagnosed mental health disorder and are not showing any signs or symptoms of anxiety. This same recommendation was made for kids ages 8-18 earlier in April.
In this episode, we’re diving into why these recommendations were made, access to treatment, and our thoughts on if this will have an impact when it comes to helping friends and family with anxiety issues.

Navigating adult friendships can be very different from when we were on the playground in elementary school. In today’s episode we’re talking with Danielle Bayard Jackson, a friendship coach and TikTok influencer. And if you’re thinking a friendship coach sounds even more frivolous than a life coach, be prepared to think otherwise after you listen to this episode!

Electrolyte waters seem to be pretty much everywhere these days. And now electrolyte powders (that you mix into drinks) are popping up more and more. So, this begs the question: are they worth the hype? Can getting in extra electrolytes really help how you feel, think, or even influence whether you’re hungry or not? We brought back registered dietitian Amanda Nighbert to help us sift fact from fiction. Let’s dive in!

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining!
Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

What if your boss insisted each year you take a 3 WEEK hiatus from work. No checking email. No work calls whatsoever. Turns out, some companies are doing exactly this. It’s called a work reset. We were so intrigued by the concept that we recruited the CEO of a company that has implemented a work reset to join us for today’s episode and tell us what it is, what inspired it, and what it really looks like now that it’s in motion. And are there any downsides??

A lack of sleep is never good for your mood and there’s plenty of research that supports a connection between poor sleep and mental health conditions like anxiety. So what do you do? Take melatonin of course! It’s become one of the most popular supplements to take for adults and kids for sleep, but is it truly helpful, or can it be harmful? And what if you have depression or another mental health condition—is it safe to take melatonin? In this week’s episode we take a closer look at melatonin.

You might have seen headlines, or even read articles that tout the immunity-boosting benefits of sex. Well, it turns out the benefits don’t stop there, particularly when it comes to your mental health. Yet, sadly our sexual activity is lower today than it has been in previous generations, which made us ask “could a lack of sex put your mental health at risk?” In this week’s episode, we’re answering that question and sharing how much sex you should be having for your mental health. Let’s dive in!

Research says that about 18 percent of adults experience anxiety. And while we think that statistic is a lot lower than the reality, the point is, anxiety isn’t rare or even all that uncommon. In fact, most people experience anxiety at some time in life even if they’ve never been diagnosed. In today’s episode, we’re sharing our go-to tips for managing our own anxiety—what do we do, what works for us, and why?

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

The Connection Between Seasonal Allergies and Mental Health
Seasonal allergies are about to hit their peak, if they haven’t already. Where we are in the Southeast, everything is coated with a thin layer of yellow pollen right now. Stuffy noses, sore throats, irritated eyes, and fatigue are all common for seasonal allergy sufferers. But could those seasonal allergies also be aggravating your mood? In today’s episode, we’re explaining the very real connection between seasonal allergies and mental health.

If it feels hard, even stressful, to take a mental health day, we see you. Turns out, according to a recent survey, 66% of respondents felt guilty taking one. Which brings us to—when do you really need a mental health day and when is it not worthwhile, or helpful? And how do you feel less guilty when you do take one? In today’s episode, we’re answering those very questions.

Losing taste and smell seems like a temporary inconvenience and side effect of COVID compared to the other potentially very serious health consequences. But for some, when taste and smell finally returns, it’s distorted. Last year we sat down with Nicole McLaughlin, chef and culinary Tik Tok star, and she talked candidly about how COVID changed her taste and smell. In today’s episode, she’s sharing her 1-year update. Has her taste and smell improved? Let’s dig in.

Our mind wanders nearly half of the time we’re awake—even when we’re focused on a task. And, I don’t know about you, but for us, it feels like it’s getting worse. Maybe it’s COVID, perimenopause, or aging. Whatever it is, it inspired us to explore how we might channel this brain fog and be productive. So, in today’s episode, we’re talking about focus and what to add to your diet for better attention and memory.

You’ve surely heard of hot flashes - maybe even witnessed hot flashes or experienced them. But when it comes to menopause that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out, what most of us think is menopause is actually perimenopause—the rollercoaster ride that leads up to the end of your reproductive years. In this episode, we talk with registered dietitian and menopause expert, Suzanne Henson, about the big life change that no one talks about. Suzanne also shares her own perimenopause story and how she’s using it to help others.

Have you ever felt like you fell into a funk while you were sick? Then even after you physically recovered, you still feel a little blue, and are struggling to get back to your typical self? If so, you’re not alone. Not only is there an actual term for this, but Carolyn is in the thick of it right now and in true Carolyn fashion, she dug into the science behind the post-illness blues. In today’s episode, we talk about how those blahs after being sick are a real thing.

We spend a lot of time indoors. In fact, statistics say we’re inside 87 percent of the day. But getting outside—even just for 5 to 10 minutes—has the power to be an almost instant mood booster and offers a whole host of other mental and physical perks. In today’s episode, we cover the mental health benefits of the great outdoors, as well as exactly how much time you need to spend outdoors, if one environment is better than another, and also how to bring the outdoors inside so you can reap some of the health perks when you’re stuck indoors - or if your not much of a nature person.

Dubbed “the original chill pill” by Psychology Today, magnesium is a mineral you definitely need to know more about. Especially considering that the majority of us are probably getting insufficient amounts, or taking other supplements that might be competing with magnesium. In today’s episode we’re zero-ing in on just this one mineral: why you need it, subtle signs that suggest you may need more, and how you can up your intake. You’ll get advice on how to pick a magnesium supplement and also learn about a very unexpected way to get more magnesium. Let’s dive in!

It’s that time of year when we’re hyper-focused on what we’re eating or not eating—what diet to follow, what foods to add to your shopping cart, what drinks to avoid. The lists you’ll find, though–and there’s a ton of them right now–are all focused on topics related to your physical health like weight loss. But no one is talking about what you should and shouldn’t be eating for your mental wellness. So in today’s episode, we’re sharing 5 of the worst grocery items for your mental health. And they’re not necessarily what you’d expect—like chips or frozen pizza. Let’s dive in!

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.
Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.
What’s Brierley “so over” this week? Dry January!

Did 2021 leave you feeling exhausted, or on edge? Or maybe you’d even go so far as to say 2021 was your worst year ever. You’re not alone. Stress, anxiety, and depression are all on the rise—and some of us may even be experiencing symptoms of a form of post-traumatic stress, that’s being called post-COVID stress disorder. In today’s episode, we say goodbye to 2021, share a little bit about why it wasn’t the year we thought it’d be, explain what post-COVID stress disorder is, and—most importantly—give you 5 tips to prevent 2022 from becoming yet another dumpster fire.

The connection between your diet and your mental wellness may seem to be all about how foods and nutrients impact the brain, but that’s only a small part of it. Turns out, what’s more important is how that food impacts your gut and overall gut health.
The gut-brain connection is more complex than we ever knew and there’s a lot of truth to trusting that “gut” feeling. What should you eat (or not eat)? Should you take probiotics? We’re exploring all of this and more in this shortened remix of The Gut-Brain Connection: How Gut Health Affects Your Mood and Mental Wellness (Season 1, Episode 2).

You’ve probably guessed that a lack of sleep doesn’t help anything, including your mood. But did you know there’s a connection between sleep and mental health conditions—as in a lack of sleep can make daily worries, stress, and even anxiousness worse? And that, in turn, fuel sleep troubles. Today we’re shining a light on the connection between sleep and mental wellness and sharing our favorite 5 tips — that you likely haven’t heard before — for getting a good night’s rest.

Between the family gatherings, get-togethers with friends, and work- or community-related parties, it often feels like we’re jumping from one holiday eating occasion to the next. And if you’re like us, that also might mean some stress and even guilt about indulging in less healthy foods—and what you might have to deal with in January. In today’s episode, we’re talking about holiday weight gain (it’s a lot less than you probably think!), and how to ditch the holiday guilt.

Even if you’ve experienced postpartum depression or been close to someone who has, you may not realize exactly what it can look like—or how it differs from the “baby blues.” Postpartum depression symptoms actually go beyond the stereotypical ones that you commonly hear, and Brierley touches on that and shares some of her own experience with postpartum depression. In today’s episode, we’re talking all about what new mothers—or people who are supporting new mothers—need to know, including how physical changes and ailments can play into that depression.

Because there is a connection between your gut and your brain, disruptions to your gut health could impact your mental wellness. Today we’re sharing 5 weird signs that you may have a gut issue and what to do about it. Let’s dive in!

Ever had a week or two where weird things happen, or just don’t go as planned? Check the calendar to see if Mercury is in retrograde. Looking to the planets for validation may seem a little out there, but Mercury Retrograde is something even science-based minds pay attention to. We chatted virtually with media maven and astrologer, Valerie Mesa, to better understand Mercury Retrograde, and how to harness it to our benefit.

Last year, the loss of taste and smell quickly became a hallmark symptom of COVID-19. But losing taste and smell seemed like a mild temporary inconvenience in comparison to the other serious health consequences of the virus. But what if your taste and smell doesn’t come back, or—worse—comes back in a way that is distorted, especially when food brings so many of us so much joy? We sat down with Nicole McLaughlin, chef and culinary video star of AllRecipes, for today’s episode. She talked candidly about how COVID changed her taste and smell, how it’s impacted her professional and personal life, and what she’s filling her spare time with now that she’s cooking less elaborate family meals. Let’s dive in!

You might think that connection between your diet and your mental wellness is all about how food impacts the brain. But that’s only a small part of it. Turns out, what’s more important is how that food impacts your gut. Your gut and brain are more connected than you think and there’s a lot of truth to that “gut” feeling. This week we’re diving into the gut-brain connection. What should you eat, or not eat? Should you take probiotics? We’re exploring all of this and more.
