Every day there seems to be a new headline, a new chemical, a new pesticide, a new ingredient, or a new reason why you should be worried about something in your food.
Suddenly eating, something that should be one of the most natural and nourishing parts of our lives, starts to feel stressful.
Some of these concerns are legitimate. We should care about how our food is grown, the ingredients we consume, and the systems that shape what ends up on our plates.
But when all of this information turns into fear and anxiety, it can affect our health in a different way.
I share how to stay informed without becoming consumed and how to make thoughtful choices without feeling like every bite requires research or every decision carries the possibility that you got it wrong.
In this episode you’ll learn:
What food fear is and how it can impact your everyday choices
How to discern between diligence and fear
The four questions to make informed choices without spiraling
Ways to care about your health without losing the joy of eating
Why stress around food matters just as much as the choices you make
This isn’t about ignoring concerns or pretending everything about our food system is fine. It’s about finding a more balanced way to navigate the information, make choices with confidence, and reframe your approach to food fear.
