As economies throughout the world are seeing rising prices and living costs, food insecurity continues to rise. More families are tightening grocery budgets to get by. But it doesn't mean we have to sacrifice nutrition in the process.

In this episode, my guest Kimberley Gillan shares her journey from experiencing food insecurity to becoming an advocate for eating nutritiously on a budget. Her experiences inspired her new book, "How Low Can You Go: Nutritious meals from $50 per person per week " which offers detailed guidance on how to plan and prepare nutritious meals on a tight budget.

The main point she wants families and young people to understand is the importance of nutrient-dense foods. Listen in as we discuss actionable advice on navigating the supermarket, avoiding food waste, and making the most of dehydrated goods. And of course, we cover the unique nutritional needs of teenagers and young adults, ensuring they receive essential nutrients to thrive.

Whether you're a teen, college student, or parent, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you or your loved ones eat well and stay healthy on a budget.

The Holidays can bring up a whole host of stressors and anxiety in all of us. But when you feel out of control with food and struggle with binge eating, it can be especially hard. Not only are holiday occasions filled with food but there’s the upfront anticipation and dread of what may come, as well as the turmoil that arises after an unwanted binge. It can ruin the entire holiday season.

Today I’m joined by Jane Pilger, a master-certified binge eating coach to discuss these challenges and provide practical strategies as you prepare for, and navigate within the maze that is the holiday season. Learn how to come out with the tools and strategies that support you all year.
