{14.10} What to Eat When You’re Running on Nothing
Listen on:
What do you eat when you're exhausted, touched out, and just don’t feel hungry… but you know your body needs something?
Whether you’re recovering from illness, living with long-term fatigue, or simply can’t face another meal, this episode is here to guide you through simple, low-effort ways to nourish yourself when eating feels like a chore.
I share practical food ideas, nutrient essentials for healing and energy, and how to gently support your body with small, snacky meals when you don’t have the time (or appetite) for anything more.
You’ll hear:
Why it’s important to eat something — even when you don’t feel like it
Key nutrients that support mood, energy and recovery
Practical ideas for mini meals, grab-and-go snacks, and nourishing sippable options
Realistic tips for low-capacity days, without the guilt (including why ice cream is a good idea)
This one’s especially for you if you’re burnt out, feeling low, or in recovery — and need a calm, doable way to keep yourself going.
