The Nourishment MindsetMy Take on the MAHA ReportHappy Transformation Tuesday, y’all! It’s admittedly been way too long. I took a summer pause to take my son to camp and decompress for awhile with the hopes that this time would inform future creativity. I have also been busy serving clients. On that note, if you would like a complimentary 20 minute consult to discuss any health improvement goals and see if we’re a fit for working together, I’m here to listen.

The Nourishment MindsetHealth Hodgepodge - Episode #67In today’s solocast and episode #67 of The Nourishment Mindset, I touch on four topics that recently caught my attention. It’s admittedly a hodgepodge but there is one consistent thread and that’s the critical importance of knowing the INGREDIENTS in our food. We evolved eating real, whole single ingredient foods and that’s where we should focus for optimal health given nutrient density. As Dr. David Lustig, author of Metabolical says, “if it has an ingredient label, it’s suspect.” Bien dit (well said), as the French say. The problem is that the majority of Americans cons...2025-05-0634 min
The Nourishment MindsetGateway Cheese, Mindful Eating & Metabolic HealingI met Cheesemonger Raymond Hook 20 years ago when we worked together to design a Port and cheese program for high end restaurants. We embarked on a cheese and Premium Port tasting journey that ultimately led to visits to and partnerships with Sweet Grass Dairy and Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company. There are plenty of big personalities in the fine wine and culinary world, and Raymond’s vast knowledge and humble manner immediately impressed me. I have learned a shocking amount about food and farming from this gentleman.In today’s episode #66 we discuss his “aha” cheese moment, world travels to well...2025-03-251h 01
The Nourishment MindsetMy Kind of CelebrityFilming this videocast was a true honor because I had the pleasure of interviewing someone I respected and admire. Her organization helped me improve my health and vitality after a traumatic birth experience AND regain some sanity during the events of 2020 and beyond. Please meet Sally Fallon Morrell, founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), an organization inspired by the work of a 20th century dentist and author who traveled the world for a decade studying traditional cultures and diets. She is the author of numerous books including my favorite, Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically...2025-02-2642 min
The Nourishment MindsetHow Acting Taught Me About Metabolic HealthEPISODE #64If you’re a Mom, you may be aware of the concept of “Mom fails,” which is just a part of the job. We learn from them and move on. In general, I believe that learning from “fails” is a super important part of being an evolving human.In today’s episode #64 — audio only, I’m drawing a parallel between making metabolic health improvements and a very challenging project I took on eight months ago. Specifically, I’m offering seven lessons learned from “acting fails” after a return to acting stage after a 33-year hiatus.In May of 2024 I auditioned for a sig...2025-01-2845 min
The Nourishment MindsetDollar$ Keeping You Up at Night?What percentage of Americans do you think lose sleep fretting about money matters in the middle of the night? (Hint, it’s well over the majority!) When I was livin’ it up in San Francisco working in the wine industry, I managed to rack up some impressive debt, and it frequently impacted my slumber. Over the years there were other financial issues such as worry over estate planning once my son was born and then Covid came and tanked the stock market and subsequently sent interest rates up and inflation especially sky high.Sleep is a critical factor in the...2024-12-3145 min
The Nourishment MindsetMeet Monsieur Sugar-Free, Michael CollinsAm I 100% sugar-free? Heck no! But I’m 95+% sugar-free, and this is sayin’ a lot for someone who in her teen years used to compulsively binge on the stuff. (Turns out when you remove all dietary fat from your diet, you crave sugar.)Today’s Nourishment Mindset episode #62 guest, Michael Collins of SugarAddiction.com has climbed many addiction and health journey mountains, and he’s come out on top with a simple message: if you’re addicted to sugar, he can help you detox. For the last 12 years, he’s helped people heal and recover their vitality and mental clarity.Duri...2024-11-251h 19
The Nourishment MindsetAvoiding the Holi-dazeBefore I dive into our main topic, I want to highlight something I find truly ridiculous: the “Beefless ground beef” I saw on a Trader Joe’s shelf. If someone wants to eat plants infused with toxic seed oils and preservatives, that’s their call, but let’s call it what it is, and that ain’t beef! I also am not personally shopping for cheese-less cheese, grape-less wine nor olive-less olive oil. What is it with humans?!! Why do we take what Nature perfectly made, much with it, and listen to those who claim it’s healthier?Another mini...2024-10-2930 min
The Nourishment MindsetRoot Cause RevolutionSanté and happy transformation Tuesday, y’all! Today’s solocast is a topic I’m particularly passionate about and the root cause of all metabolic conditions including diabetes, obesity, and many cancers and serious brain disorders like dementia. It’s also something whose effects we can “see” happening (and therefore take measures to prevent) 10-20 years before they manifest with a very simple blood test that almost no physician orders. Why?!! Well, dive into the episode for some sassy commentary on that piece and to learn what to do about it.In this episode #60, Root Cause Revolution: Unveiling the Cause & Cure...2024-09-2443 min
The Nourishment MindsetDiscipline Conversation with Joey PinzOne of my favorite quotes is from Jocko Willink, a retired Navy SEAL commander, podcaster, co-author of New York Times Best Seller Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win, and author of Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual among other works. He states, “Don’t expect to motivated to get out there every day and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on discipline.”YES! I love discipline. Because even when I don’t feel like doing X or Y, 95% of the time, I’m just get ‘er done anyway. I learne...2024-08-201h 06
The Nourishment MindsetAwe Heals & You've Gotta be a Little Weird to be WellToday’s episode #58 -- Awe Heals & You've Gotta be Weird to be Well, was inspired by a gentleman who asked me for some parting words of advice. It truly touched me — his vulnerability and desire to heal, and I wrote to him the following (which is not mentioned in the audio portion of the podcast):If there is one thing I can leave you with, it's intention. Some would call it discipline. Diet culture/mentality tells us we can be on/off "track" or the "wagon," but the real, genuine truth is that we shouldn't and can't if we want...2024-07-0238 min

The Nourishment MindsetEpisode #56 - Looking Through the Lens of Nutrient DensityIt's ALL about the INGREDIENTS y'all!We’ve all been taught to look at the calories and the now gi-hugic nutrition label, but the real nutrition story is told in the INGREDIENTS! Today’s episode is about tossing out those frames from the 70’s (when this government interference in nutrition started) and putting on some modern lenses to evaluate food based on what it gifts to your brain and body.A diet is about restriction; it also rhymes with riot. Nourishment is about healing and vitality; it’s a lifestyle. On a diet, 100 calories of gummy be...2024-04-0231 min

The Nourishment Mindset"Make Friends with your Mind"The first time I spoke with Michael, I felt like I was reconnecting with a friend. Like a mental health counselor should be, he is warm, genuine, content and a particularly good listener. Michael is also funny and extremely well read. (Reminds me of another Pitt grad I know — my husband, Patrick Huey: maybe there’s somethin’ to studying in Pitt’s iconic Cathedral of Learning.) And like a good, long-time friend he is unapologetic about his awesome quirks like raising Nigerian dwarf goats and jumping on couches. (Watch the Youtube version to see his agility, y’all!).In today...2024-01-231h 22
The Nourishment MindsetGet Off the Dieter's TightropeHappy Transformation Tuesday y’all, and welcome to the final Nourishment Mindset episode of 2023! Today’s we’re talking about the ills of diet culture, which has a nasté grip on most of us and leads to a perpetual cycle of restrict-overindulge-shame/guilt-restart. Diet culture is polarizing and devoid of the pleasure food is meant to bring to our tables, but it sure does make the industry beaucoup bucks.Here I offer a new lens through which to view the way you nourish yourself: nutrient richness. This is where you focus your food choices on what each item brings to your...2023-12-2614 min

I particularly appreciate her transformation from traditional nursing to focusing on the mind, body and spirit to address root cause issues.Chelsie shares her story of healing and reminds us that we need to become our own health advocates. She likens symptoms to the “whispers of the body” and encourages us to pause and reflect when something is off or painful versus the knee jerk reaction of medicating it away.

The Nourishment MindsetMeet Free Spirit & Healer, Craig LaneY’all, I’m gonna be real honest here on a couple of points. First, I skipped this past Tuesday. And I don’t have an excuse other than laziness and a desire to watch a weekend movie on my couch and just tune out the world. This is so not my normal vibe — completely uncharacteristic, and after some time chastising myself, I just gave in and said, Dixie needs a freakin’ break! Since this pod’s inception, I’ve not broken a publishing promise to myself. So there it is. And we’re movin’ on.Second, my guest today shouldn’t be...2023-10-311h 11

The Nourishment MindsetBreathe Your Way to Better HealthWhy are we talkin’ about breathing, something we do automatically? There are a lot of different types of breathing. What is your breath like when you’re nervous? Contrast that with how you’re breathing at the end of a delicious meal filled with laughter and pause. Or as you’re reading and beginning to doze off. It’s true that most of the breaths we take are autonomic unconscious processes. And true that we can improve our cardiovascular, immune and psychological functioning with intentional breath work. I started researching breathing techniques while pregnant with my son, specifical...2023-07-0442 min

Speaking of kids, the “meat” of this week’s episode #39 is a critique of an article sent to me by listener who wished to remain anonymous: “What If You Weren’t Scared of Your Kid Being Fat?”While I certainly agree that we shouldn’t teach kids to restrict nutrition or body shame them, I am not at all on point with the article’s subject who thinks children should be allowed unrestricted access to junk food.

The Nourishment MindsetLet's Talk Zzzzzz'sThere are weirdos out there who brag about not needing sleep. In my early twenties I dated a dude who said, “You can sleep when you’re dead.” This ain’t right, y’all! Sleep is critical for immune function, mental health, vitality and more. What’s the quickest way to drive someone mad? Deprive them of sleep! Over fifty million Americans have sleep disturbances — most undiagnosed, and one third of adults do not get enough sleep.

Our paths crossed several times before my family and I left the Pacific Northwest to move to Florida in 2018, and I was thrilled to hear he’d become an entrepreneur in what I like to call “the west coast hippie” space.Today, he and his life partner, MacKenzie Saunders, run Fender’s Blue Hemp, a company they founded to share th...2023-05-0241 min

NO.Say it aloud y’all, “Exercise has tremendous benefits. Weight loss just ain’t one of ‘em.” I know this sounds like crazy talk, but believe me, as the great Vinnie Tortorich says, “you can’t out run a bad diet.” I used to think it was 50/50 food/exercise and counseled my personal training clients from this mindset (sorry).

It’s humanizing, truthful and allows for growth, which is why I’ll take a moment to thank my Mom for raising me this way!

The Nourishment MindsetMassive Announcement: My new book, The Nourishment MindsetIntroducing.... my book, The Nourishment Mindset!

Fitting for a book about nourishing yourself to optimal health by enjoying real...2023-01-1007 min

The Nourishment MindsetCelebrity Fitness Trainer Vinnie Tortorich on Faux Meat, Boobie Scales, Washboard Abs and moreI blame today’s guest, Vinnie Tortorich, for my professional midlife crisis, y’all!Ten years ago, at 35 I was operating the successful “dream job” wine and food marketing agency I’d created. Sure, I was working crazy ass hours pouring my soul into it (and somewhat neglecting my health), but I loved what I was doing.

I wasn’t able to do my normal calories in/out math because I’d become inj...2022-12-201h 08
