Gisela Bouvier is a media Registered Dietitian based on Florida. In this episode, Gisela shares how to be okay with using convenient and processed foods in her busy lifestyle, while still nourishing her family. She talks about how and why she came to embrace mindful eating after suffering from an eating disorder for many years prior to having her three kids. From that experience, cultivating a good relationship with food is very important to her, and she shares how she does that in her house to get meals on the table, while still working full time.
We discuss:
- How mindful eating connects food to memories and traditions.
- Why it's important to avoid labeling foods as good or bad, especially in front of kids
- How and why convenience foods can be nutritious and save time - and how to change our thoughts around them.
- The Cultural food traditions that enrich family meals and connections.
- How parents can create a positive food environment for children.
- Why meal planning can and should reduce stress, not add to it.
- Food should be fun and enjoyable for families!
- Support systems are crucial for navigating diet culture - how to find them
