Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood? Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel? The “Happy Eating Podcast” was created after we couldn’t find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.
Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.
What’s Carolyn “so over” this week?

We’re bringing back a favorite—nutrition headlines! And this version just might be our best! In today’s episode, we are sharing four new nutrition studies. There’s new research on bright light treatment and using it for more than just seasonal depression. Are night owls smarter than early risers? Or is being a “morning lark” better? You might not be to blame for your kids’ fussy eating tendencies. And does having a sweet tooth predispose you to some health conditions?

Alkaline water’s popularity just won’t quit. Sales have grown every year since 2013. But do great sales mean that it’s worth drinking—and are the so-called benefits of alkaline water like preventing cancer, promoting weight loss or improving bone density legit? That’s what we break down in this very first episode of “waste of money or worth it”?
Sources for this episode include:
Effect of Alkaline Drinking Water on Bone Density of Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis
Associations of alkaline water with metabolic risks, sleep quality, muscle strength: A cross-sectional study among postmenopausal women
Systematic review of the association between dietary acid load, alkaline water and cancer

Have you ever wondered if the color you’re wearing influences people’s impression of you or impacts your productivity that day? Or is there a certain room in your house that’s painted in a color which seems to automatically calm and relax you? Yes, the simple color of a wall or shirt or logo has the ability to alter your emotions and impressions. And really your overall mood. In today’s episode, we’re looking at both warmer and cooler tone colors and how you can use them to your advantage.

When was the last time you thought about iron? It can be an easily overlooked mineral in our diet. Turns out, it deserves a little more attention and fanfare, especially for the role it plays in brain health. In today’s episode we’re talking all about iron, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia. What are the signs of iron deficiency? How much iron do you need? And what’s the best way to get more iron in your diet?

Elderberry isn’t something you’d often find at drugstores 10 years ago. But fast-forward to today, and elderberry supplements now have their own shelf or two in the supplement aisle. Elderberry has quickly become popular to take during cold and flu season in hopes it might ease symptoms or duration of an illness. And the good news, there’s research to back up elderberry’s immune boosting effects.
But not all supplements on the market are created equal. In today’s episode, we talk about what you need to look for when shopping, dosage amounts, and our top recommendations.
