We’ll specifically be diving into trauma-informed nutrition, which acknowledges the role Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other forms of adversity play in a person’s life. Trauma-informed nutrition also includes historical and systemic trauma (ie. the effects of growing up Black and Brown in America). As an Eating Disorder expert, Whitney is the go-to dietitian when it comes to helping folks who have experienced trauma health their relationship with food.

THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SEC! 🤯🤯 If you are so

THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SEC! 🤯🤯 If you are someone who cuts off your eating at an arbitrary time in the evening, or if you feel annoyed when you get hungry shortly after a meal or snack, this is for YOU!

Whenever my clients tell me that they stop eating by 8pm, for example, I always follow it up with two questions. 1.) why and 2.) what happens if you are hungry after that time?

The why is usually that they heard it from some trainer or self proclaimed health guru. The what is that they suppress their hunger until the next day. I’ll then ask them: if you had to go pee past 8pm, would you ignore that until the next day? Usually the answer is no.

Hunger is very similar to going pee in that it’s a physiological signal by the body that it has a need. Instead of looking at it in a negative light, I push people to think of it more as a neutral, just like they view going to the bathroom.

What about you, do you honor your hunger without second guessing it? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

PS. I can’t take credit for this quote, as I first heard an iteration of it from @rachaelhartleyrd three or so years ago when she game on our podcast to talk about intuitive eating. Check that episode out if you haven’t already!!

Breakfast just got upgraded with these moist, subt

Breakfast just got upgraded with these moist, subtly sweet cinnamon rolls made w/ @planetoat Unsweetened Oatmilk! #ad You can make these when you’re having a slow morning and they will fill your place with the dreamiest smells. Top with butter, fruit jam, nuts or whatever you’re in the mood for. Since my sweet tooth isn’t all there I was shy with sugar but you can add more if you prefer things on the sweeter side!

I’ve been OBSESSED w/ @planetoat Oatmilks lately. They’re creamy, taste great and offer an excellent source of vitamins A & D. They’re also incredibly flexible and can work in baked dishes, smoothies, oatmeal and in your coffee - so many uses and ways to get creative! They’re also free from dairy and artificial preservatives which is a win in my book!

These buns will keep for 3 days at room temperature or can be frozen and thawed when ready to enjoy! Warm tastes better so pop them into the microwave when you’re ready to eat. I topped these with a homemade berry lemon jam. SO GOOD.

For the dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
