For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

In this episode of More Than Good Food, we explore the concept of Happiness. In said happiness is one of the pillars of health. She also said that happiness is a choice - a controversial statement for some. Webster Dictionary defines happiness as a state of being happy, which doesn't really say much of anything, in my opinion. However "happy" is defined as feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. What does that mean in terms of living a healthy life? In a society of social media, where we are expected to show ourselves at our best, what does happiness really mean? Is it a fleeting sensation of pleasure, and where does contentment fit into it? These are the questions that came to mind, and that I posed to Caitlin McCarthy. Get the full show notes at…

I wanted to take just a few minutes today to introduce myself and explain the intent of this podcast and what you can expect. I became a coach and author at to help women find balance in their life because it’s my place of passion. It’s been a struggle for me because I have naturally high cholesterol and I had a crazy stressful job that made it worse. My story is that I wasn’t sure how I felt when the clinical dietician suggested that I become a vegan. I tried it for a few months but it wasn’t the right thing for my body - I was bloated and hungry all the time. I’m always looking for new information or techniques to try to see if it can help me balance those hormones. It can be daunting when a child or partner decides to become a paleo-pescatarian and you don’t know what that means, let alone how to cook for them. As I’m sure you can tell, I love food but what I keep coming back to is that what we eat is only one component of our lifestyle. On top of posting pictures and writing up new recipe ideas, I spend time reading new research on movement, digestion, and stress management - but I thought it would be more interesting to have a conversation than to just talk about it. More importantly, I want to get into things we might be embarrassed to talk about at a restaurant but that you might hear amongst friends in the kitchen over a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The goal of the More Than Good Food podcast is to have those honest conversations with women who are experts in their field, and those who have lived experience that they want to share, about what it means to live a healthy life in a busy world. Because it’s a conversation, episodes won’t have a specific length but I don’t expect them to be longer than an hour. I’ll be writing up show notes with links to different resources and some of the key points. It will also serve as a place to thank our advertisers and supporters who generously provide opportunities to help offset the costs. My promise to you is that I won’t post anything that I don’t personally recommend and use myself. I look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks about topics that you want to hear more about.
