  • Do you feel a spiritual connection to your food? Whether conscious of it or not: The intention you put into a meal and the thoughts you have as you eat it have a profound impact on how the food affects your mind, body, and soul!

    Gia Hooper, a multi-dimensional healer, believes that we are all powerful creators, and we can raise the frequency of everything in our life… including the food we are eating.

    Why self-awareness is essential in having a spiritual connection to food Ways to feel more tuned in to all layers of your being The difference between intuitive eating and eating in alignment with your spiritual self How to raise the frequency of your food, water, and life The most powerful tool to create the reality you desire

  • Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting health advice out there? The truth is that we often make eating “healthy” and taking care of our bodies more complicated than it needs to be.

    Sometimes, we just need to go back to basics, rebuild our foundations, and introduce some structure to feel like our best and most empowered selves. Kim Shapira, celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and author of This Is What You’re Really Hungry For, has developed an easy-to-follow method that will help you get your brain and your body on board, replace fad diets with a sustainable way to eat what you love, and empower you to be the authority of your own body.

    After over 25 years of practice and a deep understanding of the science of nutrition, emotions, and habits, Kim is on a mission to help as many people as possible take back their relationship with food and change their life by using her six surprisingly simple rules.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    What you’re actually hungry for (spoiler alert: it’s not food!) Where pleasure fits into the nutritional puzzle How “rules” can become habits without feeling restricted The way your values fit into your food and lifestyle choices How to eat foods you love that love you back An approach to reduce food guilt and choose gratitude instead

    Kim’s refreshing approach will help you quit your on-again-off-again dieting cycle, attain a sense of peace and happiness, and view food as a source of joy and nourishment, not stress!
