In this episode of The Mindful Living with host Sana, we explore the overlooked power of slow eating with Angela Gioffre, a passionate nutritionist from Melbourne. From the first bite to the last, Angela unpacks how chewing slowly and eating with intention impacts digestion, mood, immunity, and even family connection. Together, they discuss how fast food culture and rushed meals are harming our health and relationships—and how we can reclaim the dinner table for healing. Whether you're a busy parent, a corporate professional, or someone looking to reset your relationship with food, this conversation offers simple, science-backed ways to find calm, connection, and clarity—one bite at a time.
About the Guest: Angela Gioffre is a nutritionist, speaker, and co-founder of Forest Super Foods, an Australia-based wellness brand. With Italian roots and a deep respect for ancestral traditions, Angela blends science with soul to help people reestablish a healthier, slower, and more joyful connection to food.
Key Takeaways:
-
Eating slowly activates the parasympathetic nervous system—essential for digestion and hormone balance.
-
Digestion starts with chewing; the more you chew, the better your gut and mental health.
-
Shared meals improve microbiome diversity, emotional regulation, and family bonds.
-
Even small rituals—like a moment of gratitude—can shift your eating experience.
-
Fast lifestyles don't have to mean fast food. Intention can transform any meal.
