Are you overwhelmed by the idea of setting new nutrition goals? Does the idea of maintaining long-term consistency seem unattainable when it comes to food?  Do we count calories? Go low carb? Step on the scale every day?  We all know that healthy nutrition habits are important, so why do we also struggle to set goals and make wise food choices on a daily basis?  Is making it past the learning curve worth it?

If you're just getting started, the first step to making nutrition adjustments is to develop an awareness of what you're consuming. We discuss how to practically get started with food tracking and how to make incremental and sustainable adjustments as you move forward. In addition to offering practical tips, scientific data, and helpful resources, this conversation also gives an honest take on some common barriers to prioritizing nutrition, including the mental energy it requires. 

This episode is equally equipping and inspiring, especially if you've known that you need to make changes but haven't known how to start.  Be sure to find a moment to check out our other episodes in this four-part series on Health and Wellness!
