Real Food StoriesAuthor: Heather Carey
The question of "what to eat" can feel endlessly confusing, especially when we contend with our own deeply ingrained beliefs and stories around food. Blame social media, the headline news, and let's not get started on family influences. Passed down from generations of women and men to their daughters, it's no wonder women are so baffled about how to stay healthy the older we get. As a nutritionist and healthy eating chef, combined with her own personal and professional experience, Heather Carey has been connected to years of stories related to diets, weight loss, food fads, staying healthy, cooking well, and eating well. Beliefs around food start the day we try our first vegetables as babies and get solidified through our families, cultures, and messages we receive throughout our lifetime. We have the power to call out our food beliefs so we can finally make peace with what we eat and get on with enjoying the real food and lives we deserve. Listen in to find out how to have your own happy ending to your real food story.

142. Why I’m Choosing Human Guidance Over Trends And What Women Actually Need In 2026
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
Happy New Year and welcome back! Today I am exploring why so many women feel overloaded by wellness noise and how to find steadiness through community, clarity, and the simple act of real food. I am sharing my candid update story about my surgery and hormone experience shows why nuance and self-advocacy matter more than one-size-fits-all rules.I am also talking about:• re-entry to 2026 with a focus on orientation rather than resolutions• the case for community as an antidote to isolation and confusion• why I will never create an AI version of myself• the pitfalls of certainty, urgency and extreme wellness claims• the hip surgery hormone debate, my withdrawal experience and what I learned from it• how to ask better questions and advocate with your clinicians• redefining goals around sustainability, sleep, and real food• the practice of wintering and giving yourself permission to rest right now rather than charge out of the gateJoin the Well-Nourished Woman community—real women, real questions, real context. I’ll leave all the info in the show notes, and reach me by email with questionsWANT IN ON THE COMMUNITY?
