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 are Brierley & Carolyn “Thankful” For this week? 😏

If you were raised in the heyday of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or Snackwell’s fat-free cookies, your taste buds are probably quite thrilled that fat isn’t nearly as taboo as it used to be. But even though you know that certain fats are good for you, you’re not alone if choosing the full-fat option gives you pause. In today’s episode, we dug into why we need fat for our physical and mental health, which fats are best, and how much you really need.

If you’re suffering from low libido, you feel like your hair is thinning, or you’re having more trouble sleeping than usual, your testosterone levels might be on the downslide. And your doctor isn’t going to have many options for you. There’s good news, though: first, you aren’t alone. It’s very normal for women’s testosterone levels to lower as we age. And second, in today’s episode we’re sharing some science-backed tips to naturally boost your testosterone.

Earlier this month, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into effect what’s colloquially called the “Skittles ban.” It’s a ban on a handful of food additives with known negative health effects (and banned in the European Union), yet are still pervasive in our food system. What are the banned additives and should they be banned across the country? Here’s what you need to know and check for on food labels.
