183. Fuel Your Mind and Body: 10 Simple Healthy Eating Habits for Educators

In this special summer wellness series, host Beth Vaucher explores how to apply simple, intentional habits to transform your health, starting with what you eat. If you're an educator, parent, or busy professional who often finds nutrition falling to the bottom of your priority list, this episode is a must-listen.

Beth shares her personal journey from fast food and frozen dinners to a more mindful, nourishing lifestyle—and how it’s dramatically improved her family's energy, focus, and emotional well-being. Through practical insights and a non-judgmental tone, she walks you through 10 realistic habits that make healthy eating more consistent and less overwhelming.

Discover how to streamline your week with effective meal planning tools like "Plan to Eat," the benefits of grocery pickups, and strategies for staying hydrated. Learn how to prep nutrient-rich breakfasts and snacks that kids will actually eat, batch-cook for stress-free dinners, and sneak in more veggies without complaints. Plus, Beth emphasizes the importance of mindset, focusing on what you can add to your diet, rather than what to restrict.

She also shouts out her favorite recipe creators, including Lily Eats and Tells, Jar of Lemons, Cookie and Kate, Half Baked Harvest, and Ambitious Kitchen, offering go-to resources for anyone who wants healthy meals without the hassle.

Whether you're looking to simplify your routine, boost your classroom stamina, or just feel better in your own skin, this episode is your friendly guide to start building better habits today. Don’t forget to tune in next week as Beth covers staying active and fit during the school year.
