Use Cooking As A Tool To “Fill Yourself Up,” Both Literally & Metaphorically | Candice Davies

The Health Investment Podcast with Brooke Simonson

EPISODE 113 | Candice Davies is a former psychotherapist who worked extensively in the field of addiction and eating disorders for over a decade. She has always been intrigued by the ways in which the mind and body are (or aren't) connected, and the various forms in which this communication can be enhanced or severed. Her belief that the ways in which people nourish and feed themselves exists in several manners, has resulted in her always being interested in the ways in which people "fill themselves up" both literally and metaphorically. She currently runs online cooking courses (and a membership) that help people gain confidence in the kitchen, and she constantly encourages her clients to embrace finding pleasure in what they eat! In the episode, she shares why it’s absolutely critical for your mind and body to feel connected, her reasons for starting a cooking membership, how to make tasty meals in just minutes...and more!

(Specifically, what made you want to become a psychotherapist and specialize in addiction and eating disorders?) I know you became "intrigued about the disconnect between mind and body" in the eating disorder patients you saw. Can you explain more about this? Do most people have a mild disconnect between mind and body, or does that only happen in more severe cases (like eating disorders)? How can we become more deeply connected to our mind and body? What led you to start a cooking membership? Why must we learn to cook/prepare food for ourselves? On your website, you say, "My favourite kind of meal to prepare is one that tastes like it took hours to cook, but actually didn't." Tell us more about this! What tips do you have to make cooking easier and more enjoyable without sacrificing the quality of food? How do you balance meal prep with family demands? What advice would you give a complete beginner just starting to cook for themselves?
