Food Rules vs Food Values - a podcast by Regina Topelson, RDN, CLT: Dietitian Nutritionist, Cancer Survivor, Health Champion

Being in lock down and unable to travel has obscured the importance of paying attention to your food values. Two recent trips brought my food values front and center for me. 

I'm not a fan of food rules. I think people can get in trouble and develop disordered eating with food rules. "I eat this, not that. I can only eat this if..." mentality can really turn into a runaway train very quickly.

I advocate instead to think about what makes you feel good. What doesn't cause you to worry or have anxiety while you're eating. You see, food is supposed to bring you joy and the experience should be a pleasurable one, preferably shared with others.

In this episode, I explore some of the food values that came to light for me during my recent travels and how you can use my experiences as a way to jumpstart a conversation about what matters to you regarding food, health, and long-term wellness.
