It's SO easy to get caught up in the mindset of "this sucks, everything sucks" when you're ill or injured. It can feel like life is put on hold — like you can't do anything until you're recovered.

Listen: I am NOT a fan of traditional, unsustainable food diets. You know this. But what I CAN get behind: a MENTAL diet.

On this pod…

For YEARS, I was obsessed with food. How much to eat, when to eat, planning and prepping my meals, counting down the minutes until I could eat again, looking up restaurant nutrition facts hours or days before a date so I could “be prepared”, glued to an app on my phone all day adding and subtracting and trying to fit my macros into one big magical …
