Food dye is a chemical substance that was created to give food an artificial color, therefore “enhancing” the appearance and appeal of the food. There is quite a bit of controversy over the safety of food dyes, with some groups claiming they are toxic and lead to all sorts of medical issues, while other groups agree they are completely safe for consumption.
In the last 50 years, food dye consumption has increased by 500%. Can you guess who are the biggest consumers? That’s right…CHILDREN. So in this episode, I want to have an honest conversation and separate fact from fiction so you can make an informed decision about the use of food dyes in your own home.
In this episode, we cover:The dark truth about food dyes
What is food dye?
Potential side effects from food dye and who it impacts most
How to empower your kids to make informed decisions surrounding food dye

Feed Yourself: Healthy Habits for the Mind, Body, & Soul is all about learning the key components of overall health based on Biblical principles. When most people think about getting in shape and becoming “healthy”, they immediately think about their physical health: losing weight, making exercise a priority, possessing flexibility and endurance, and remaining disease free. But Scripture makes it clear that physical wellness is not the only area that impacts health. In order to be TRULY healthy, we have to focus on four areas: spiritual health, emotional health, mental health, and physical health.
This podcast dives deep into the tools and head knowledge you will need in order to create lasting results, but it also looks at the element that truly ties it all together - the heart knowledge that incorporates faith in God in this area of our lives and how to apply it when things get tough (and they will!).
I wanted to create a space to let you know you are never alone on this journey. Through years of experience in doing everything the WRONG way, I am here to share my journey of getting healthy from the inside out - ditching the restriction and diet culture and truly learning to treat my body as the temple God intended it to be.
Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I discuss healthy habits to incorporate in your daily life to propel you forward and FEED YOURSELF on your journey to health in all areas: mind, body, and soul!
