Nadine Allaham is a formal nutritionist that’s passionate about empowering women with food and, more importantly, building a life that they don’t need an escape from. Today on the show, Samantha and Nadine cover a wide range of food and wellness topics, including minerals, supplements, the thyroid adrenal connection, diet culture and more. The two share the stories and knowledge they’ve gained from their respective health journeys and remind us that the inner critique we all have typically isn’t rooted in facts. What’s most important is that we honour our own needs, listen to our bodies and respond intuitively.
