52:: break it down for the baddies:: Mel Sulaver, RD & sports nutritionist talks nutrition in our 20s & 30s as women (Part I!)

Wellness girl chat with us this week as we break Mel Sulaver, RD’s episode down for the baddies! (Make sure you listen to episode 51 first!!) This series is like a podcast book club where we chat about the expert interview with our previous guest, in this case, Mel Sulaver. We chat nutrition as women in our 20s and 30s, the rule of thirds when building our plates, the importance of individualization and simplification when it comes to nutrition, training, and our menstrual cycles, body image and positive self talk, and so much more! We also chat about how I’ve implemented some of her recommendations into practice over the previous week. Take a listen!

TLDR::

  • Nutrition in our 20s & 30s as women
  • The importance of individualization 
  • The menstrual cycle and learning your menstrual cycle
  • How to build your plate
  • The truth about body image 
  • Unpacking and rebuilding negative thoughts surrounding your body image
