Episode 100: Reboot Your Meal PlanningWe made it to 100 episodes! Wow!! We’re grateful to you all for being here and supporting our work to challenge diet culture and make family nutrition less stressful.In our latest episode, we’re celebrating with a topic that comes up a lot—meal planning. But not the Pinterest-perfect kind (no judgement here if you love that kind of meal planning). Anna and I are talking about realistic, flexible planning that supports you instead of stresses you out.We share our personal routines, what “go-to meals” mean in our homes, and how diet culture can sneak into the way we think about food and planning. Whether you’re a an avid list-maker or more spontaneous, there’s something in here for you.What are your “go-to meals”? If you’re interested in a deeper dive into all the aspects of feeding your family, from navigating sweets, meal planning, assessing your child’s growth, to supporting your picky eater, join the Sunny Side Up Nutrition Membership: Take the Frenzy Out of Feeding.

So welcome, everyone. We are here today to chat about rebooting your meal planning. So, Anna, I'm just going to jump right in with the first question slash topic.Elizabeth: Feeding Framework Step #1 is to provide structure, not perfection. In our previous podcast episode, we talked about the feeding framework—and we'll link to it in the show notes in case you didn’t have a chance to listen. How does that connect with our meal planning philosophy? And how does diet culture interfere with meal planning?Anna: That’s two really important questions! I think a lot of people hear “meal planning” and immediately think it has to look a certain way. Like there’s a right way to plan and a right way to follow the plan. A lot of folks also associate meal plans with dieting. But the way you and I think about meal planning is more about support. It’s a structure that helps feeding ourselves and our families feel less chaotic.Elizabeth: Yes—exactly. I always regret it when I skip meal planning. Everything feels more chaotic.Anna: Totally. But diet culture can really mess with how we think about meal planning. On social media, you see these perfect plans that take forever to make, or these rigid schedules where every meal is pre-determined. There’s this assumption that you have unlimited time and resources. But that’s not how we define it. Everyone’s meal plan will look different.Elizabeth: Absolutely. I mean, almost every week I end up making something different than I planned. Life happens.Anna: Yes! And one more thing—we share meal ideas every week in our Substack newsletter. Five lunches, five dinners, three breakfasts. The goal isn’t to be perfect or different every day. It’s to make life easier.Elizabeth: Right, we don’t make seven different breakfasts every week! That sounds exhausting.Anna: We also say all the time: meal planning only needs to take 10–15 minutes. Let me walk you through what I do.Anna: I start by looking at our evening activities for the week—soccer practice, concerts, things like that. Then I plan about four dinners. I don’t usually assign them to specific nights, but I try to think ahead to busy nights and plan something easy.Anna: Next, I make a list of the ingredients I need and then check the fridge, pantry, and freezer for staples—like milk, bread, eggs, lunch stuff. Then I place a grocery order online, usually on Sunday.Elizabeth: My method isn’t as structured! I go to the store more often and I’m lucky to have a farmer’s market nearby. I get meat, fish, and produce there in the warmer months. I also enjoy trying new recipes, so sometimes planning takes longer because I want to cook something new.Anna: That’s what works for you! I’ll also do a Costco or Trader Joe’s run once a month. It’s a big day when I do both. I joke that I’ve been hunting and gathering all day!Elizabeth: I feel that. And having frozen or prepared foods from those stores makes weeknights easier. I also plan four dinners and rely on my go-to meals to fill in the rest. Speaking of which—let’s talk about go-to meals.Anna: A go-to meal, for me, is something I usually have the ingredients for and can make in 15–20 minutes. One of mine is Black Beans and Rice—it’s super simple. We’ve made it for years. You use canned beans, cumin, salsa or tomatoes, and rice. Great for leftovers too.Elizabeth: Yes, for me it’s similar—easy ingredients I have on hand. Everyone’s go-to meals will look different. The key is they shouldn’t stress you out.Anna: Exactly. We also both rely on the “cook once, eat twice” idea. If I’m making a bigger dinner on Monday, I want it to be something we can use for another night or lunches. Spinach lasagna is one—great for lunchboxes. Or grilled chicken becomes BBQ chicken salad or pizza. Everyone can build their own bowl.Elizabeth: I do something similar with black beans and corn and tomatoes. It turns into burritos, rice bowls, even a topping for chicken. We also do Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos—I double the batch and use the extras for bowls with pre-cooked rice.Anna: Love that. Soups and pasta dishes work well too. I like anything that helps with lunches.Elizabeth: If someone only has five minutes, what’s one thing they can do this week to feel less stressed about meal planning?Anna: Make a list of your go-to meals. Just write them down—stream of consciousness. Then you can build from there and even make a list of pantry staples to keep on hand.Elizabeth: Yes! I always check my go-to list when I feel stuck. Anything else we should add?Anna: Just remember: there’s no right way to do this. You don’t have to make black beans and rice. Find what’s easy and accessible for you.Elizabeth: So true. What are you making tonight?Anna: Actually, we have a school dinner event. But next time I cook, it’ll probably be tacos. Always a favorite in my house.Elizabeth: I’m making coconut rice with roasted chicken thighs, carrots, purple broccoli from the farmers market, and a peanut sesame sauce. It’s a few components, but not a ton of work. The Lundberg coconut rice is already cooked and microwaveable. (not sponsored)Anna: That sounds amazing.Elizabeth: Let us know what you’re cooking!

If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone. This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on care that didn’t produce results. No comprehensive testing. No targeted interventions. Just more supplements and generic advice. Her case wasn’t unusual. What made the difference was data. Through our 1:1 program, Jenny completed a full panel of functional assessments, including: Hormone & adrenal testing (DUTCH test) Comprehensive gut analysis Nutrient and inflammatory markers Genetic testing to understand her body’s metabolic and detox pathways The findings confirmed several core issues: Severely diminished cortisol output Estrogen dominance with low progesterone production Leaky gut and poor gut microbiota diversity Methylation and detoxification gene variants contributing to poor recovery and persistent inflammation Once we had this information, we developed a structured plan with targeted interventions to support endocrine function, rebuild gut integrity, and address her specific genetic vulnerabilities. Within weeks, she began to notice improvements: more stable energy, clearer cognition, better sleep, and less bloating. While she’s still progressing through the program, the results so far validate a simple principle: symptoms require investigation—not assumption. If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still don’t feel well, you may benefit from the same thorough, data-driven approach. 👉 Start with the 1:1 program: https://drbethwestie.com/jumpstart-program/ We’ll guide you through the appropriate testing and design a care plan tailored to your system—because you deserve clarity and direction, not more guesswork.

Send us a textWhat does it really take to thrive in life's most challenging moments? Rand Stoess joins Anthony Amen to explore this question through lessons drawn from decades of entrepreneurship, mentorship, and personal growth.The conversation quickly dives into the critical difference between seeking external validation versus developing internal clarity. Rand emphasizes how our greatest strength comes from looking within first—understanding our values and boundaries—before seeking outside input. This self-awareness creates a foundation for resilience when life inevitably throws obstacles our way.One of the most powerful insights revolves around our sphere of influence. Rand shares his personal evolution from believing his success came from controlling everything to realizing he only truly controls four things: attitude, effort, behavior, and chosen actions. Everything beyond that is influence rather than control. As Anthony adds, this influence isn't neutral—it pushes people in either positive or negative directions, making our choices profoundly consequential.The discussion takes an especially practical turn when exploring how we become the average of the five people we spend most time with. Want to develop grit? Surround yourself with resilient people. Need more optimism? Spend time with positive thinkers. This principle extends beyond physical relationships to include the podcasts we listen to and content we consume—all shaping who we become.Rand reveals seven research-backed qualities that lead to life satisfaction: zest, grit, mental toughness, optimism, curiosity, social intelligence, and humor. Each quality creates a foundation for bouncing back from setbacks—like a rubber ball that temporarily deforms upon impact but always regains its shape. This resilience isn't just innate; it can be developed through mindset shifts, forgiveness practices, and viewing life as a series of experiments where not every attempt succeeds on the first try.Ready to transform how you respond to life's challenges?
