In this episode, Katie and Sophie are joined by Jen Carr - a mindful eating coach and ghost writer, who is currently working on an Ancestral Eating book.
Together they explore how food can be medicine, especially when we align our nourishment with the seasons, our hormonal rhythms, and emotional states.
Jen also shares her insights on the gut-brain connection and the holistic approach to healing relationships with food. The conversation delves into the significance of circadian rhythms, the impact of seasonal eating, and the role of mindfulness in digestion.
