In this episode of What the Fat, dietician Ali Miller and I talk about empowering yourself through diet, making thoughtful choices, and finding purpose in each food you eat. We touch on how certain foods are crucial to mental agility, physical health, and emotional awareness, and how to better combat stress, low energy, imbalanced sleep, and inflammation. The relationship between dieting, women’s health, and lectin levels is discussed at large as well, and find out how Ali’s Carb-Up approach is the perfect way to refuel and reenergize your keto journey. 

Miller stresses the importance of positive mindset and perspective, reframing your past and your present, and quieting the negative self-talk that prevents you from reaching your goals.

“I choose this stress, this is passion manifest” is her mantra for a happier life. What is yours?
