E71: Feed Your Body

50m · This Caregiver Life ™ · 04 Mar 22:44

Hello!

We had hoped to drop a podcast every month this year. We started strong until we hit February. Sound familiar caregivers?

We did record this one, technically, in February. It's taken a few days to get back to writing show notes and publishing.

In this podcast we focus on eating well. It's an overall way of caring for ourselves every day. Eating nutritious meals and snacks has a way of helping us feel better even under stress. It doesn't take our stress away but can often help us manage it better.

Neither of us is a dietician or nutritionist. We do, however, have to eat. We have a collective experience of over a hundred years of eating. Often during those years, we have cared for others who need guidance and assistance with eating, which includes food choices.

We hope you will learn a thing or two from us. More than anything, we hope we have encouraged you to take care of YOU through good eating because you matter.

Dietary Guidelines for Americans is a good place to begin!

Feel free to drop us a note at either or both of our emails.

E70: Give Your Mind a Rest

Jenn and Mar welcome in 2024 with a new podcast episode!

In "Give Your Mind a Rest" they chat about the usefulness of developing a meditation mindfulness practice. Food meditation is one of their favorites because, you know, why not. Food is a source of joy at times, so why not incorporate it into your daily practice?

There are a variety of meditation practices to employ. It is our hope you will find one that works for you and it becomes one of your many supportive tools in your caregiver toolbox. See below for links to meditation mindfulness resources.
