In this episode, Erin continues into Part II of Food Culture by having an open conversation on client stories, examples, and answering questions she received on social media in response to episode two. This episode tackles the background of our unique food cultures at home and how our nutrition and food behavior is directly influenced by life experiences, parental modeling, and the science of attachment theory. In this more open forum-style show, you can learn about what might be influencing your cognitive framework for food, your ability to self-regulate, and how you can use these sciences to write a new food story.  Highlighted Sources: i.

In this episode of Uncommon Living, I provide an overview of the development of food culture and explore exactly why and how it is directly impacting your nutrition today. We first look at the science of food culture as it relates to social cohesion, language, and the development of modern humans. Then I discuss why that matters and how that evolutionary biology fuels our modern palette, food preferences, and food regulation. Fast forward several thousands of years, and we explore how modern food culture developed and why it is impacting our nutrition and relationship to food at this very moment. This then allows us to assess the food culture we live in currently -- within our geographical region all the way down to the food culture we were raised in at home. We then explore how we can build a food culture of our own to give us the health, nutrition, and optimization that we desire by giving us an environment to self-regulate and make low-friction health decisions.

In the first episode of the Uncommon Living podcast, we ponder the question: what does it mean to eat? Here we discuss the origins of nutrition science and why the wellness industry is focused on misguided data and goals, and what the true nature of eating is. Erin explains how this modern nutrition model developed, why nutrition is so misunderstood, and how we can create a new framework for nutrition and health.
