Seth and Pete welcome Jill Moellering, a functional nutritional therapy practitioner, to discuss how divorce affects our relationship with food. Jill offers guidance on overcoming disordered eating and embracing a balanced approach to nutrition.
This compelling episode tackles the mental and emotional roots of unhealthy eating habits. Seth and Pete explore how grief, loss of control, and stress – factors in any divorce – impact our food choices. Jill provides practical strategies to become more mindful, such as focusing on how different foods make you feel and keeping a food journal.
Questions we answer in this episode:
- How can I cope with emotional or stress eating during my divorce?
- What are some simple ways to start eating healthier after a separation?
- How can I teach my kids good eating habits when their other parent doesn't do the same?
Key Takeaways:
- Prioritize protein at every meal to stay full and stabilize blood sugar.
- Pay attention to how different foods affect your mood, energy, and sleep.
- Approach food from a perspective of choice rather than restriction.
Plus, we tackle a listener question about navigating separation when unmarried with a child.
Seth explains the differences in this "parental divorce" and stresses the importance of finding a lawyer familiar with paternity law. Though the emotional impact is similar, the legal process differs without a marriage.
This episode will inspire you to build a healthier relationship with food, even amidst the turmoil of divorce. Tune in to gain practical nutrition tips and a deeper understanding of your eating habits.
