LISTEN ON: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY
Liz Moody is an author, editor, and podcaster who believes that healthy foods should be a tool to enhance our lives, rather than restrict them. She’s written two cookbooks, "Healthier Together" and "Glow Pops." She used to serve as the food director for mindbodygreen, the health and wellness powerhouse website, but she’s stepping out on her own and completely transforming the ownership she has over her life, her health, and her career. She makes it all look so easy — though she admits it’s not — and tries to make it feel just as easy to her readers.
Show Notes:
Liz has journeyed through anxiety over the years. She emailed people she had "no business" contacting to compile research insights to help herself and others
Liz’s advice for dealing with anxiety is to build structure within your day and give yourself consistency
Try out different types of meditation if you feel like one type isn't sticking
Working out can be so helpful for anxiety and overall mental health
One of Liz’s health tips is try taking your probiotic at night right before bed
Liz’s eating philosophy is to eat the things you really love and give yourself the space and time to enjoy those things; eat mindfully
Gather your wellness information from a few trusted sources rather than mindlessly collecting information from a bunch of places across social media
Liz did a vedic meditation course, she found it can be helpful to have a mantra to focus on and guide your meditation practice
When meditating, focus on the process of bringing your mind back to focus rather than being a perfect meditator
Liz prefers to wake up without an alarm, aligning with her circadian rhythm
Liz drinks a green smoothie while reading non-fiction, a habit she stacked together based on Atomic Habits by James Clear
Intentionally setting up your day and making time for projects that feel more concrete and long term can help combat the burnout of constantly churning out quick content
Having a specific gratitude practice trains your brain to look out for the positive in each day
Never be the one to say no to yourself; take chances because you never know what can come from it
It can be freeing to live more minimally during this time and to not be as tied to timelines or planning for the future
Our health is our wealth, and 2020 made us appreciate that even more!
