Susan Alsembach - Understanding Nutrition

10/30/2025

Have you ever noticed how preparing a meal often feels like just another task to tick off your list—tedious, time-consuming, without much thought besides “let’s just get this done?” Strangely, many of us don't think twice about spending hours in front of the TV, hoping to unwind after a long day. Our intention is to relax and enjoy, but after a binge session, we often feel guilty or dissatisfied.

This got me thinking about how we value our time. What if we reframe the way we approach mealtime? Instead of seeing it as a chore, imagine meal prep as an act of self-care. When you prepare a simple, nourishing meal, you’re really saying, “I’m looking after myself.” You start your evening satisfied both physically and emotionally—ready to truly enjoy whatever comes next, including that favourite TV show.

So tonight, why not give yourself the gift of a good meal first? You may find the whole evening becomes a lot more fulfilling.

How about looking at our health from a mind body perspective, combing the benefits of science backed nutrition information and mindfulness research to help you understand how your body functions.

We can often get caught up with all our daily obligations.

Sometimes we just need to take a few moments to remember how important it is to remain active.

It can be as simple as taking a walk outside, doing some yard work or even a few chores.

Being active means that our heart has to work a little harder, and who doesn’t want a stronger heart?

Overeating doesn't make food taste better - but it's something many of us forget in the moment.

I often hear clients say, "It tastes so good, it's hard to stop". The truth is, after those first few satisfying bites, the flavour doesn't improve - even if we keep eating. What often follows instead is guilt, bloating, or discomfort that takes away from the joy of the meal.

Mindful eating isn't about restriction - it's about noticing when satisfaction quietly turns into "too much".

How do you stay tuned into your body's signals when a meal tastes 'that' good?

It’s not the coffee that I’m inherently questioning, it’s what we put in it.

The sweeteners, the creamers and flavourings are all highly toxic for us. They will impact:

☀️your immune system
☀️your blood sugar levels
☀️ your gut health

The next time your looking to sweeten your coffee look for, honey, maple syrup or simple brown sugar.

Hi everyone,

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of labeling foods as good or bad. But what if we shifted that perspective? Instead of demonizing certain foods, what if we focused on understanding our individual needs — our unique mix of genetics, inflammation triggers, lifestyle, and goals?

This kind of personalized approach takes the pressure off and helps us build a relationship with food that’s grounded in awareness, not restriction. When we understand why our body responds a certain way, we can make informed choices that feel balanced and sustainable — not guilt-driven.

Lasting nutritional and lifestyle change doesn’t come from quick fixes or rigid rules. It comes from curiosity, listening to our body, and being open to adjust along the way.

What’s one change you’ve made that helped you build a more positive relationship with food?
