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.

Can Brown, White, and Pink Noises Improve Your Focus, Productivity, and Sleep?
Thursday Dec 15, 2022
Thursday Dec 15, 2022
There’s a noise trend going on. Check out YouTube, Spotify playlist, even your iPhone home screen and you’ll find it. We’re talking about colored noises like white, brown, and pink noises. They’re touted as being able to help increase your focus, productivity, and sleep quality. And now that we’ve tried them, we swear by the productivity effects that brown noise has when we need to tackle a work project. What are these noises, and can they help you?

Rant Therapy - I’m So Over….Nutcrackers and Gingerbread!
Tuesday Dec 13, 2022
Tuesday Dec 13, 2022
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”.
Whatare BOTH hosts “so over” this week?
We’re so over….Nutcrackers and Gingerbread!

Best Ways to Support Someone with Cancer - From Someone Who’s Battled Cancer
Thursday Dec 08, 2022
Thursday Dec 08, 2022
A cancer diagnosis comes into your life suddenly and unexpectedly—even if you aren’t the patient. In the days, weeks, and months that follow there’s a lot that unfolds from diagnosis to treatment. When you’re not the patient, it may be a little unnerving to know how best to support your family member or friend who has cancer. What should you say or do? What should you not say or do? In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Regan Jones, host of the podcast This Unmillenial Life who went through her own cancer battle in 2021. We’re asking her advice on how to best support someone with cancer.

The Original Chill Pill: Magnesium REDUX
Thursday Nov 24, 2022
Thursday Nov 24, 2022
Dubbed “the original chill pill” by Psychology Today, magnesium is a mineral you definitely need to know more about. Especially considering that the majority of us are probably getting insufficient amounts, or taking other supplements that might be competing with magnesium. In today’s episode we’re zero-ing in on just this one mineral: why you need it, subtle signs that suggest you may need more, and how you can up your intake. You’ll get advice on how to pick a magnesium supplement and also learn about a very unexpected way to get more magnesium. Let’s dive in!

Is Dehydration Adding to Your Winter Blues?
Thursday Nov 17, 2022
Thursday Nov 17, 2022
Most of us actively try to sip water and stay hydrated—and we’re successful, at least until winter sets in. Did you know that when the temperature drops our body naturally dials down our thirst cues making it that much easier to overlook our hydration? In today’s episode, we cover why staying hydrated is important for your mental wellness, and why including electrolytes—specifically Ultima’s electrolytes—in your water is also a must-do. Don’t drop off too early because our guest has a special announcement!
