Episode notes

In the health and wellness world, it can be easy to get lost in the overload of information that exists about food- and even easier to get pulled into limiting beliefs surrounding what we eat. In this episode, Lindsay and Cait are joined by Whitney Aronoff, a personal chef who helps challenge these limiting beliefs and helps her clients replace “diet culture” with intuitive eating practices- such as getting acquainted with the vibrations of what we consume, trusting our gut, eating with the seasons, appreciating the pleasure of eating, and more.

Whitney Aronoff is a Health Supportive Personal Chef in Laguna Beach, California. She is passionate about wellness, the vibration of food, and supporting others in living their best life. As a personal chef she prepares custom meals and dinner parties for her clients, and shares her seasonal recipes on Starseed Kitchen. Knowing that a healthy diet is just one layer of being well, in 2021 she launched the podcast High Vibration Living With Chef Whitney Aronoff. She interviews experts on healthy eating, cooking, wellness, beauty, travel and spirituality to help others find the modalities and tips to help them feel their best. Chef Whitney believes the healthiest meal you can eat is the one you make at home, and she aims to invite people into their kitchen, feeling empowered to make healthy choices for themselves and their loved ones and to experience high vibration living.
