105. Food Medicine for Mamas w/ Twenty-Five Eight

Rose Petal Butter Cup Bites by Twenty Five Eight

Episode 105- How can we better nourish the most undernourished among us...that's right, the mothers! Mothers are constantly fulfilling the needs of others, but often go with their own needs unmet. One of the most fundamental needs a mama has is to be well fed. We explore all this and more on this episode featuring Erica Mock, founder of the DELICIOUS meal delivery service, Twenty-Five Eight, formulated specifically to nourish mamas. Hear all about Erica's own journey and how it ultimately led to her starting a company that could fill a gap in her life. This is a yummy episode all about how best to fill the mothers in our lives with nothing less than the best food medicine.

​WITH SPECIAL GUEST, ERICA MOCK!  After being too sick to eat when pregnant with her first child, Erica Mock viewed “eating for two” with regards to quality, not quantity. Her own challenging journey into motherhood inspired her to form an absolutely delicious food company for mamas called Twenty-Five Eight, as her gift to all mamas throughout their motherhood journey: before, during, and long after baby with the nourishing meals are what made her feel whole again. In her months of struggling with breastfeeding coupled with sleepless nights, nourishment was what Erica looked forward to the most. Her aim is to empower every woman to intuitively trust what her body guides her to eat. 

​DEFINITION OF FOOD MEDICINE FOR MAMAS: It is always important to remember that food is always medicine or poison, and that the average American supermarket is a mine field of poisonous food choices. However, one section of society needs to really act upon this knowledge, and that is mamas. Mama's grow children, nurse infants (or toddlers, in my case), feed families, and run around 24/7 trying to keep up with little ones. Mama's are programed to care for everyone else, but one powerful way that mothers can take care of themselves at least three times a day is in good food choices.
