49) You are what you eat with Amélie

Food isn’t just fuel; it plays a pivotal role in our mental and physical well-being. In today’s episode, Amélie joins Maren and Eva to explore the powerful connection between nutrition and mental health, especially for mothers. As we navigate the demanding journey of motherhood, self-care often takes a backseat, and this includes making nourishing food choices. Many of us find ourselves reaching for quick, easy options that don’t always support the health our bodies—and minds—truly need.

Together, they dive into how making intentional food choices can improve mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall well-being. Amélie shares practical tips on how to prioritize nutrition even when life feels overwhelming. This episode serves as a reminder that taking care of ourselves is just as important as taking care of others, and that food can be a powerful tool in maintaining both physical and mental balance.

Key Takeaways:

  • How nutrition affects mental health, particularly for mothers

  • The challenges mothers face in maintaining healthy eating habits

  • Easy strategies for incorporating more nourishing food into your daily routine

  • Why self-care through food is essential for overall well-being
