Episode 036: Cristina Tahoces
listen on
DESCRIPTION
In this episode, we talk to Cristina Tahoces, Holistic Nutritionist about her popular TedX Talk: Sleep, Love, Poop. Speaking from personal experience and professional wisdom, Cristina walks us through the signs of burn-out and how nutrition can support us in mindfully navigating stress with resilience. She also guides us through the 3 pillars of her talk: Sleep, Love and Poop and shares how optimizing these can foster our most intentional living. I’m pretty sure we’ve never talked about poop before so, there’s a first time for everything!
One of my favourite distinctions that she made is the one between deficit-led nutrition vs. love-led nourishment. This is a big one which I imagine many of us can relate to. She explains what love-led nourishment is and how it can have a big impact in all areas of our life: physical, mental and emotional.
