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.

Losing taste and smell seems like a temporary inconvenience and side effect of COVID compared to the other potentially very serious health consequences. But for some, when taste and smell finally returns, it’s distorted. Last year we sat down with Nicole McLaughlin, chef and culinary Tik Tok star, and she talked candidly about how COVID changed her taste and smell. In today’s episode, she’s sharing her 1-year update. Has her taste and smell improved? Let’s dig in.

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”.

Our mind wanders nearly half of the time we’re awake—even when we’re focused on a task. And, I don’t know about you, but for us, it feels like it’s getting worse. Maybe it’s COVID, perimenopause, or aging. Whatever it is, it inspired us to explore how we might channel this brain fog and be productive. So, in today’s episode, we’re talking about focus and what to add to your diet for better attention and memory.

You’ve surely heard of hot flashes - maybe even witnessed hot flashes or experienced them. But when it comes to menopause that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out, what most of us think is menopause is actually perimenopause—the rollercoaster ride that leads up to the end of your reproductive years. In this episode, we talk with registered dietitian and menopause expert, Suzanne Henson, about the big life change that no one talks about. Suzanne also shares her own perimenopause story and how she’s using it to help others.
