Send us a text

Embark on a transformative journey with Sabrina and Michelle Russell, a dietitian and nutrition therapist, as we challenge the conventional wisdom of meal planning. Shattering the myths of diet culture, we delve into a holistic approach that marries the concept of intuitive eating with the practicalities of organizing meals. Through Michelle's own narrative of overcoming an eating disorder to become a certified specialist, we uncover the compassionate path towards a peaceful relationship with food, and we emerge with a roadmap for meal planning that celebrates food freedom amidst our hectic lives.

In our latest episode, we tackle the misconception that intuitive eating and structured meal planning are at odds. Instead, we outline strategies to craft flexible meal plans that honor our body's hunger cues while providing a framework to alleviate stress and reduce waste. We share practical tips and resources, such as the Work Week Lunch program and Budget Bytes, that align with eating competence principles. Our conversation illuminates how a list of ingredients on hand can revive forgotten meals like a simple tuna salad and keep culinary creativity alive without the overwhelm.

As we wrap up, we address the modern conundrum of juggling home-cooked meals with the allure of dining out and the convenience of food delivery services. Our guest, Michelle, offers her expertise on how to navigate these choices in a way that suits our fast-paced world.
