The Kitchen Table with Alicia Brown

Energy is one of the best indicators of health, but so many of us are living exhausted. It affects our life physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and otherwise.

What would you do if you had more energy?

Knowing how much to eat can be hard when trying to just “listen to the body,” especially if we don’t really know how to trust in it’s hunger/fullness cues.

In the past, I would have FREAKED out, but this time, I was able to *stay calm* and sane (without going zero to 100) upon seeing my blood sugar be high on a recent blood test. In the episode I describe my situation, I explain how blood sugar works a bit, and lastly, I share how intuitive eating is so possible (and almost more important!) when suffering chronic illnesses.

Have you ever experienced a sudden jerk out of a really good moment upon realizing that it was going to end - and you didn’t want it to? In this in-depth and super insightful conversation with Stefanie, @iamstefaniemichele on IG, we discuss:

Do you feel your identity is in some way tied to being “the healthy one” or living a “healthy lifestyle?”. In a world of health, fitness and nutrition influencers, it can be hard to embody wellness rather than simply pretend to always do the “healthy” thing instead.

Homecooking can feel like a chore, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can bring joy, energy and satisfaction (in many ways) into your life. Personal chef and food educator, Sarah Subrize joins us at the kitchen table today to discuss:

It’s common and easy to “normalize” our frustrations, fears and anxieties about food and our bodies, but at the same time, it’s important to really know you CAN live a life without them (or at least not weighed down by them). I the episode we discuss:

Cherie @foodfreedomtherapist and I have a robust conversion about weight, weight loss, intuitive eating, and our truest deepest desires in life. We talk about our perceptions about weight, the reality of weight, relevant research on the topic, and how we must confront our weight belief/mindset before beginning our intuitive eating journey. In the episode we more specifically discuss:

If stress about food and discomfort in how you feel about your body cause you any unhappiness in life this is an episode to listen to. I provide many of the details about a six-month program I just launched yesterday called, THE WORKSHOP, and in doing that I also provide stories and scenarios that you might resonate with if you’re feeling troubled by “food and body stuff” in any way.

The mind-body connection is (IMO) the biggest component of total wellness no one’s talking about, other than Casey Berglund.

Casey will absolutely blow your mind in this episode, discussing...

Getting dressed, going shopping, and finding clothes that fit, are comfortable, and that feel good can be a real struggle. Good thing is, you don’t have to tolerate the stress and frustrations of the clothing experience anymore.

The mindset “move to lose weight” is ingrained in our minds so much so that it’s made fitness feel like punishment for the bodies we’re in. Jamie thinks differently, believing that we build a healthy, sustainable and life-long relationship with movement when it works *with* our bodies, not against them. In the episode we discuss...

You’ve heard talk of a mind-body connection, but why is this important? Why do we talk about it? In this episode we dive into pillar 2 of “The Workshop” - a 6 month program I’m launching June 20 - and we discuss…
