Tuesday Feb 10, 2015
Tuesday Feb 10, 2015
Up For A Chat this week gets into emotional eating. By the end of the podcast the realisation that no one modality has the panacea but rather delving into mind, body and spirit. Things that need to be addressed are; the health of the micro biome and thus the health of the body and brain. Remembering the mind is related to the brain and the brains health depends on the health of the body. We also have to take into account our attachment to food, Carren addresses this so beautifully throughout the podcast and talks about her new program Eating with Ease and then Kim addresses movement, daily exercise and rituals in order to change to help with emotional eating. The Up For A Chat girls are mentors and masters at their profession, listen in on an insightful look at Emotional Eating.

Cyndi talks about the challenges of her son in primary school and the eventual home schooling task she takes on for 3 years with her three children and Carren takes education apart and wonders what we are teaching our children and are there better ways?

The Paleo Diet is all the rage at the moment, so Kim and Cyndi (without Carren – she is a vegan!) decided to talk about what it is, how it is helping people and why it is working so well to change health and weight issues. Most people think the Paleo approach is a fad, but in actual fact it is closest to the diet that humans lived on for thousands of years before the invention of the grocery store. Going Paleo is not just about what you eat either – it is about your entire lifestyle, including sleeping patterns, movement, human connection, sunlight and much more. Listen in to understand the science behind this recent shift in thinking and find out how you can create a Paleo lifestyle in the modern world.
