Café Episode 44: Get Real with Your Hunger: Unpacking Your Relationship with Food
☕️☕️I am stirring the pot on nutrition and dieting perspectives with our special guests, the acclaimed health and wellness expert, Tasha Temple, RD and best-selling author and registered dietician, Kim Shapira. 13:44 ☕️ In this episode, we unpack the often overlooked concept that food is fuel, meant to be utilized in response to genuine hunger rather than external triggers like stress or the time of day. We explore the empowering notion that your body isn't an unforgiving dictator but rather a reflection of what we do most of the time. Through enlightening conversation, Kim Shapira, the mind behind the Kim Shapira Method, shares three of the six simple yet life-changing rules from her latest book, This Is What You're Really Hungry For, offering a fresh perspective on satisfying our true hunger.   ☕️We're also tackling the controversial topics head-on, dispelling common myths about detoxing and fad diets, and revealing the truth behind effective, sustainable health practices.  Ready to transform your relationship with food and nutrition? Join us as we provide practical, actionable tools that you can start using right now to make a meaningful change in your life.  After watching, we encourage you to try incorporating just one of the tips shared into your routine—because sometimes, a small shift can lead to significant changes.  ✅ Subscribe to our channel and hit the bell to never miss an episode of The Health Mastery Café. ➡️ Get in Touch: Tasha Temple:    / mindandtemple   Kim Shapira: https://www.kimshapiramethod.com Dr. Dave:    / thegooddrdave   #HealthMasteryCafé #RelationWithFood #HealthPodcast #diet #healthydiet  Episode Sponsor: PREventClinic, Inc.  Watch the visual version on YouTube or Spotify Audio version on Apple Podcasts, iHeart, iCloud Instagram: @healthmasterycafe Facebook: @thehealthmasterycafe X (Twitter): @masterycafe TikTok: @masterycafe Instagram: @thegooddrdave Facebook: @thegooddrdave X (Twitter): @thegooddrdave
