With all the chatter, handwringing, and noise about all the different nutritional concerns and questions we should have, it's tough to know how to get your needs met. In today's episode, Katherine lays out a specific framework for prioritizing your most important, most basic nutritional needs, so that we see the big picture and don't get lost in the details that matter less. Prioritizing the most important nutritional need of adequacy can encourage more ease and flexibility in eating, and allows us to relax our grip on trying to control and perfectly optimize our eating.

Mentioned in this episode:
