In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Reines, a registered dietitian who is a passionate advocate for plant-based nutrition and self-empowerment. Katie shared her personal journey, which began with her sister's influence after watching the movie "Avatar" and her own experiences working at an ice cream store. She discussed how Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet" sparked her interest in veganism and how her work at a macrobiotic cafe further inspired her to study nutrition. Katie opened up about her struggles with body image and disordered eating in high school, and how these experiences led her to create her company, Feed Your Power. Her approach focuses on self-love, empowerment, and environmental consciousness. She emphasized the importance of aligning one's diet with personal values and the positive impact of plant-based eating on both personal health and the planet. We delved into the mindset tools Katie uses to help her clients develop a healthier relationship with food and themselves. She highlighted the significance of reframing beliefs, setting clear visions, and practicing awareness. Katie also touched on the role of inner child work and the power of choice in overcoming food-related stress. Katie's work with the Create Cures Foundation and her insights on the fasting-mimicking diet approach was particularly enlightening, showcasing her dedication to innovative health solutions. As we wrapped up the conversation, Katie left us with a powerful message about the foundation of health rooted in love and the importance of prioritizing pleasure and peace in our lives. For anyone looking to transform their relationship with food and embrace a life of self-love and plant-based nutrition, Katie's insights are truly invaluable.
