Episode Notes:

Award-winning holistic nutritionist Carly Pollack talks about her book Feed Your Soul: Nutritional Wisdom to Lose Weight Permanently and Live Fulfilled. In the conversation, Carly talks about:

  • Her personal struggles with weight loss until she realized that losing weight is about more than just eating less and exercising; 

  • Why there's no single diet that is right for everyone, nor one that is right for any single person ALL the time.

  • The importance of paying attention to the thoughts and emotions underlying weight struggles and the desire to go on a diet.

  • Why self-care is essential to weight loss, and how true self-care arises from self-love. 

  • The role of "manifesting" in achieving optimal weight and good health.

  • The role of gratitude and how dropping “love bombs” on other people helps you achieve your goals.

Jon Steinman, author of Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Co-ops in the Age of Grocery Giants, touches on:

  • How a handful of giant grocers have shaped the continent’s food systems.

  • The ways in which co-ops help ensure affordable food, as well as fair food pricing that ensures a sustainable, livable income for farmers.

  • How food is inherently intertwined with physical health, community prosperity, and overall community health.

Jon’s book tour is taking him through Vermont this week, and he will be visiting co-ops all over the country in the next few months.
