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.

Rant Therapy - I’m So Intimidated By Cheer Moms
Tuesday Aug 29, 2023
Tuesday Aug 29, 2023
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 Brierley “so over” this week? I’m So Intimidated By Cheer Moms!

It’s Getting Hot in Here: Infrared Saunas
Thursday Aug 03, 2023
Thursday Aug 03, 2023
Saunas aren’t just for escaping cold temperatures. Did you know research suggests that a sauna session could be as good for you as a workout? It’s also what Carolyn credits to lowering her blood pressure and stress—without a prescription. But neither of us had any idea just how pronounced the health benefits could be until Carolyn did a deep dive into the research to prepare for today’s episode. What are those benefits, what’s the best type of sauna to use, and how often should you go? By the end of this episode we promise you’re going to book yourself a sauna appointment.
