How to Create Healthy and Sustainable Eating Habits

Episode Overview Melanie is your girl if you want to know how to create healthy and sustainable eating habits! She has taught me many tips and tricks over the years on making quick and easy nutrient-dense meals which is why we created Balance Eating Method. We discovered too many women struggle to get the nourishment they need to live energized and whole from the inside out. In this episode, we invite each listener to join the conversation as we, two best friends, chat about our health journeys and share why we do what we do for women coming up after us.   Questions Answered Why does alcohol affect us differently as we get older? Is it too late to change, even if we're in our 40s, 50s, and 60s and beyond? What is it like to be on the Balance Method calls? How will the Balance Eating Method help me create healthy and sustainable eating habits?   Action Items Are you looking to give going alcohol-free a try? Check out Sober Sis' 21-day challenge.

I've learned something. I've been encouraged. Maybe you're doing something that I was slacking on, like going on a daily walk, and Deanna's walking and talking and I think, "you know what? I need to move today because Deanna is my encourager." [3:51] What I do is try to be better this year as opposed to last year. What can I let go of that didn't serve me in 2022? [12:38] We were talking on our Zoom call about community and how important community is with like-minded women, and that's exactly why we created the Balance Wellness Method, Balance Eating Method, and Balance Movement Method because there aren't any programs out there for women our age. [15:22]  I can tell you I feel better now in my fifties probably as good as I felt in my twenties, if not better. [32:02] Start learning to say no more. You can make time to better yourself, you just have to learn to say no to the things that are not the best for you.   Connect with Melanie: Check out her website Follow her on Instagram Listen to previous episodes with Melanie Meet your Balance Wellness Method Coaches  Staying Balanced Through the Holidays Lessons From a Plant-Based Diet
