What happens when your relationship with food transforms from struggle to strength? Jamie, a nutrition and culinary educator, joins us to share her remarkable journey from disordered eating to empowering families through healthy cooking classes.

With candor and warmth, Jamie reveals how her early career in education exposed troubling disconnects between what parents wanted for their children's nutrition and what schools actually provided. This observation sparked a profound career shift as she pursued a certification as a holistic health coach. Now, she brings vibrant, affordable healthy cooking experiences to schools, community centers, and families—making nutrition accessible and joyful rather than restrictive and complicated.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Jamie discusses her postpartum experience, including breastfeeding her son until age two while navigating what she describes as "a weird funk" that lasted nearly two years. "I wasn't focusing on myself, wasn't working out, wasn't eating healthy," she shares, echoing what many mothers feel but rarely express. Her candid acknowledgment that hormones can take years to rebalance after childbirth resonates powerfully, offering validation to listeners experiencing similar challenges.

We explore fascinating connections between nutrition, women's hormonal cycles, and even Eastern medicine approaches like blood type diets and acupuncture. Jamie emphasizes that while modern medicine has its place, we often overlook the foundations of wellness: proper hydration, adequate sleep, stress reduction, and whole foods. Her practical advice focuses on making healthy eating simple and enjoyable for busy families.

Whether you're struggling with your relationship with food, navigating the complex terrain of postpartum recovery, or simply looking for ways to help your family eat healthier without the stress, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and compassionate understanding. Jamie's virtual classes now make her expertise accessible beyond her New Jersey home base—bringing her balanced approach to wellness into homes everywhere.
