Beyond Binaries: Redefining health, wellness and nutrition sustainably

This week I am in conversation with Sarah Edwards a certified Health and Nutrition Coach and the founder of Copper and Cloves, a resource hub for sustainable eating and now a fully-fledged cafe in Bangalore, India. This episode focuses on our individual conceptions of health and nutrition. How do we bring about long-term behavioural shifts? What does being healthy actually mean? We focus on dichotomous narratives that look at clean/dirty eating or cheat/guilt-free meals, calorie counting, issues of body dysmorphia, fatphobia and how that perpetuates a harmful idea of health being related to what we look like as opposed to how we feel. We talk about the importance of moving beyond these narratives, restrictive eating, fad diets and the importance of learning to bridge the mind-body disconnect where we respond intuitively to our body as opposed to following a health diktat. This episode looks at how physical and mental wellness and living sustainably are interconnected and how we can embark on exploring this relationship with ourselves and nature.
