In this episode of Shame-less Stories, I am joined by Sandrine Olmi, a down-to-earth nutritional therapist and mother who blends science and intuition to help women and families nourish themselves and ditch the shame around eating.
Together, we explore how food can be a source of strength and empowerment (rather than stress!), especially for mothers navigating perimenopause, parenting, and the messy middle of life.
Trigger Warnings:
Brief mentions of anxiety and sleep deprivation
Discussions of chronic digestive issues and nutrient deficiencies
Brief mention of disordered eating patterns (but no graphic detail)
In this episode you will hear about:
Easy nutrition swaps shared by Sandrine
✅ Swap white bread/pasta for wholegrain to boost B vitamins
✅ Sweet potato jackets instead of white potatoes for a fibre-rich meal
✅ Add protein, healthy fats, or colours to every meal to sustain energy
✅ Smoothies with surprising ingredients (like cauliflower!) to fuel kids
✅ Make meals playful and adaptable to each child’s needs
