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 Over Low Thermostat Temps In The Summer! 🥶
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
Tuesday Jul 25, 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 You Need To Know About PRIME Drinks
Thursday Jul 20, 2023
Thursday Jul 20, 2023
Dubbed “the status symbol of the summer for pre-teen and teen boys,” chances are you’ve seen PRIME drinks somewhere. Maybe at the gas station, Target, TikTok, or even at your kids’ sporting event. What exactly is in those brightly-colored bottles and is it healthy for kids, or even you, to drink? Or should we be avoiding PRIME? Today’s episode answers those questions and we share what we do with our kids when they ask for PRIME.

Is Berberine Really Nature’s Ozempic?
Thursday Jul 13, 2023
Thursday Jul 13, 2023
Surely you’ve heard of Ozempic and Wegovy. But did you know there’s a supplement that’s been dubbed nature's Ozempic? It’s called berberine. And, as you can imagine, we were very curious about its legitimacy. So, Carolyn dug into the research and in today’s episode we’re talking about if it really deserves the name "nature’s Ozempic" and the different health benefits of berberine, plus how much you should aim to take.
Want to try Berberine? Order it from the HappyEating dispensary at Fullscript and get 20% off your entire order. Go to https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/happyeating

Top Nutrition Headlines - PART 2
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
We read new nutrition studies all the time. And we love it! But until recently, we didn’t share what we think are the most exciting ones with you. Earlier this year we shared our first ever “top nutrition headlines” episode and you—our listeners—loved it! So in today’s episode we’re covering 3 newly published studies that caught our attention. Is your daily multivitamin giving your memory a boost? Could your Botox habit be good for your mood? And is there anything you can do at home to lessen your baby’s risk of developing food allergies?

Creatine: The Supplement Every Woman Needs to Take
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
If the supplement creatine makes you think of sweaty meatheads at Gold’s Gym, you’re in for a big surprise with this episode. Quite frankly, creatine deserves a totally new marketing campaign. In fact, by the end of recording this episode, we came to the same conclusion as today’s expert guest, Jenna Braddock. Every woman should seriously consider creatine supplements for their physical health, body composition, as well as mental wellness. Jenna not only explains the benefits of creatine, but she also shares exactly how much to take and which type of creatine to buy.
